Hell Architect seems like fun - any game you can assign sinners to “make some excrements” has something going for it. And then we can convert the excrements into dirty water hahaha.
I liked the overworld musics much better. I never got the attraction for the town songs, so much that I thought people were talking about them in an ironical way at first. But a lot of people seem to genuinely love them!
I’m pretty excited about Psychonauts 2 coming out this week. It’s not a wallet threat to me now, since I already bought two copies on Kickstarter or Fig or whatever platform they used back then. I’ve also seen a good review of Islanders: Console Edition on Eurogamer, so that might be one to check out. And I have to admit, I’m kind of curious as to what the heck Bum Simulator is. Oh yeah, and a new Aliens game and a new King’s Bounty this week too.

Probably pretty low threat, as I have Game Pass for Psychonauts 2 and everything I’ve seen about Aliens: Fireteam Elite and Kings Bounty 2 points to them being duds, at least for me.
This might be a threat. Though I might have to buy on Steam instead of GOG (I bought the whole series on GOG) because NISA decided they don’t want regional pricing on GOG for whatever reason. :(
To be clear, this is Chinese/Japanese/Korean only, and we’re probably two years out from English. Not to presume, but I know I was excited for half a second when I saw that even though I knew the translation was nowhere close.
Oh. That’s OK. I’m still halfway through Trails of Cold Steel 2, so 2 years should be enough time for me to finish those before playing Hajimari no Kiseki. ;)
I like the part where he’s making the place to sleep using cardboard, and then decorating it with useless artifacts he bought at the pawn shop for over $10,000.
Holy shit. Possible Red Wallet thread this week. Where did all these great sounding releases suddenly come from? KeyWe is about a mail system run by a pair of Kiwis. Song of Iron looks like a gorgeous 2D action game. Rustler is like grand theft horse according to their trailer. Lake is that game about being a mailwoman in a small town, I think. Rally fans have the latest WRC game coming out with no advanced notice (as far as I know). Clid the Snail is from that Spanish Indie initiative thing shown off at E3, that looked like one of the potentially cool games. And I’m sure I’m missing other stuff too. For example, is that a new Pathfinder game I see? I’m so behind on these, I’ll have to find out what Pathfinder is one of these days.
