Now that we’re in to February, what are some games you’ve been eyeing up with a 2026 release date that you’re excited to pick up? Are you planning to pick them up on release, or are you going to wait until a sale?
Me personally, I’ve got three titles I’m actually feeling quite excited for: Hela, Paralives and the Gothic 1 Remake. I’ve been waiting for Hela and Paralives for years because they look like fun, cozy games built by passionate devs - and the Gothic 1 Remake just popped up in my feed one day and I’m itching to get a chance to have my first Gothic experience!
I would say if you enjoy fun little 2D Souls-like games and you have them in your backlog, Tails of Iron and its sequel, Tails of Iron 2 are both really enjoyable games that don’t take too long to finish. Not as difficult as Blasphemous or the other 2D souls-likes either, really just enjoyable games with well-written stories.
How much does a game having a rodent protagonist increase your likelihood of playing it?
Thanks for the recommendation! Sadly it’s not in my library, but it’s now on my wishlist
