Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
Plus the usual shit that might come out eventually:
Bayonetta 3 (after it inevitably slips)
Hollow Knight: Silksong
Company of Heroes 3
STALKER 2
Baldur’s Gate III
Starfield
It feels like every game in development that’s been announced is coming out in 2023.
2022, a good year to play stuff in the backlog. :)
Capes
Dredge
I had no idea my life was missing an eldritch mystery fishing game until I saw this today
Yep, DREDGE may be my goty 2023! ;)
Really? I don’t know that I see that sort of potential. I suppose it depends on just how deep it goes
Superfuse looks positively amazeballs. Straight to the top of my 2023 watchlist
That does look great. 2023 seems optimistic though. It’s coming to Early Access this fall. Grim Dawn took about a year in EA? So maybe this will be the same?
No, it isn’t. EA in 2023. The Fall mentions are out of date. Don’t care, I’m super excited. The fuse system looks so cool.
Are you going to play the SteamFest Demo that’s available now?
Already played one of the two classes. It’s quite short and had some noticeable hitching when activating abilities, but having a chance to play around with the skill system was so cool. You don’t get to do too much, because they start you at level ten, but enough to see how it will work.
JFC the front half of the year is absolutely fucking bonkers. Here is my list for the next six month, I’m going to need to donate a lot more plasma.

Capes
Jagged Alliance 3 (not sure when this is due)
One Piece Odyssey (depending on reviews so maybe)
Balders Gate 3 (but I already purchased it so not sure it counts)
Master of Magic (because I will not play it till we hit 2023 with so many games I still have; Persona 5, TO Reborn, Midnight Suns)
I had forgotten about this - I think it’s going to end up being super, super good!
Jagged Alliance 3 is also on my radar, but definiately after we get some reviews. Open mind and all that, but a heavy dose of “I’ll believe it when I see it”.
I forgot these two:
From the Trese Brothers:
Hopeful for this one:
I already own My Time at Sandrock and Slime Rancher 2, but am waiting to play them until their full releases in 2023, so those would be top of my list.
I’m also looking forward to:
Storyteller
Paperback Adventures
Oxenfree Lost Signals
For the King II
Writer’s Block
Starsector
Starfield
as well as (hopefully) full release versions of Cosmoteer, Sweet Transit, and Songs of Conquest
Looking at that, it’s far more games than I usually have on a list like this. I’m not particularly on top of upcoming releases, so games of interest usually only get noticed at release when there are reviews and word of mouth. Coming into a year with that many games already to look forward to, it appears that '23 is likely to be a hell of a good year for games. That’s especially nice because '22 has been pretty bleak.
Let’s be realistic
:P
It’s better to travel than to arrive!
I guess I’m hopeful there a good results from some lesser known games.
Phantom Liberty and Starfield are probably Day 1, and Last of Us will complete my Sony PC collection :)
