2023 is proving to be a bananas year for games. With so many highly-anticipated releases lined up, I’m starting to feel overwhelmed trying to keep track of everything. So here’s my personal list of ten eleven upcoming games I’ll be playing, with release dates included to keep my brain from overheating.
Well, that didn’t take long, and I’m already nearly half way through a New Game+ replay already.
Hi-Fi RUSH is an absolute blast to play, and I feel like I’m finally mastering the rhythm based combat as I replay levels and continue to buy upgrades and new combos.
Xbox shadow dropped a new game from Tango Gameworks at their Developer_Direct: Hi-Fi RUSH.
It’s absolutely gorgeous, dripping with style and personality and a ton of fun. The rhythmic gameplay is forgiving, but rewards good timing, and the combination of platforming, exploration and combat is paced perfectly.
More thoughts on the game, and how it released, soon…
I haven’t played Gears 4, so I’m a little behind the story beats, but Gears 5 is an interesting journey so far.
The environment and character work is excellent, but I do have some hangups with the core gameplay and systems. More soon…
I bought Celeste in 2018, but for some insane reason I never finished it. I played up to the Mr Oshiro escape and then life* “got in the way” I guess?
I’m playing with my daughter, and we’re about three quarters of the way through. I have thoughts… to be continued…
Like apparently everyone else with Game Pass, I’m playing High on Life. More fun, colourful game worlds please, I mean look at that!!
Still playing: Eastward.
