Wallet Threat Level

Not mentionned: if all goes well (it’s been postponed a month), Hover Attack port/remake by the author, releasing on Dec. 2nd on Steam.

Edit: Oh, says Dec 3rd now!

I’ll be eying this one off.

It’s a collection of three great visual novel-style games, plus a fourth exclusive mini-game (that apparently is not so great).

Nice!

Yep Wartales and Mechajammer are on my wishlist, looking forward to both.

It’s going to be hard for me to stay away from this E.A. title with its similarities to Battle Brothers. The demo could barely be considered a game, so that is the only thing that is making me hesitate. Curious as to how much headway they’ve made since that was released weeks ago.

EDIT: I see I’m not alone. :)

Please remove wartales from that listing as it is a LIE.

Steam page says it will unlock in less than an hour. Or do you mean the fact that it will be in early access? In which case: So true! Fuck Early Access.

If you subscribe to the rock, paper, shotgun website as a premium member they are giving away wartales for free.

EDIT: keys all gone now

Skimmed a recommended review of this on Eurogamer today. Cosmic skating game. Sounds neat.

It’s Halo Infinite week! But that’s on game pass, not a wallet threat for me. There’s still other games coming out this week, this late in the year. Check it out.

YES.

Intrigued by this one.

I’m annoyed I have to wait 9 more hours for this.

Wytchwood looks like a lot of fun and Thunder Tier One already preordered.

Always at least interested to check out a new Yu-gi-oh game. Wallet threat? Probably not, given the words ‘rush’ and ‘battle royale’ in the title. :)

Maybe not so much. Wartales lack much content and Mechajammer is a hot, hot mess from everything I am reading. Still pretty optimistic on Wartales but Mechajammer may be hopeless so that looks like a hard pass.

Loved me some Monster Rancher, looking forward to playing with the 12 year old.

Switch or PC? Hmm. May have to double dip as the kid pretty much bogarts the switch nowadays.

Yay, “The Gunk” is finally here this week. It’s coming Day One on Game Pass though, so not a wallet threat for me. Anything else coming out this week that people are looking forward to? Maybe the Shovel Knight game? Final Fantasy 7 Remake on PC? What is this, a remake of Asteroids?

This trailer makes me want to get Asteroids.

Noble Fates does look like it could be interesting. Sadly, it’s going to be Early Access, and the steam page says they expect it to be in Early Access for about 18 months. So release will be in mid-2023 I guess.
