- My most anticipated 2024 game releases for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S/One, and Nintendo Switch. We all know that hype can be a dangerous thing, but I still like to look forward to the future of games.

idk if the game lineup for 2024 will top the best of 2023, but I'm hoping we get some surprises throughout the year. What do you think? 🤔
Just wanted to say thank you, I just finished Robocop for the 1st time .... Literally 5 minutes ago, all because of you ❤️😂 Love you and your videos excited to watch for another year! Also star wars outlaws looks awesome, now I will finish the video lol
Hoping for many surprises along the way..🤞
I love what I do know is coming up, but I also SO love a game that comes out of nowhere without a lot of hype. Can't see what the future holds.
I was surprised that you didn't mention avowed, any thoughts on avowed? Also what are your thoughts on granblue fantasy relink?
If we get silksong, hellblade 2, and ER dlc, it will be a perfect gaming year for me
Personally, I'm most stoked for Dragon's Dogma 2. Nothing else has got me as hyped. The first game is one of my top all-time favorites and I've been dying for a sequel
I’ve been waiting since 2012 for this bro, dragons dogma is my favorite game. I remember the first time my pawn told me to run up his sword to launch into the air to grab onto a boss and I did, most epic moment in my at the time young gaming life
I'm tempering my expectations. I've been let down too much the past few years.
I've been wanting to get into Dark Arisen but I think I'll wait for the sequel. I'm juggling like 3 games at the moment.
Agreed. I'm once again playing the first through just to hopefully beat it before the second drops!
Nothing at all makes you feel more like a mage than Dragons Dogma. Its also a really great feeling to find out someone has been using your pawn for a long time and when they give it back you get tons of xp and RC. I love logging in to get 100k RC and that tells me how much they love my little grey dwarf warrior.
I want to play with Jake baldino in 2024 pause
You want to what?🤔
Why did you pause??
Play
What huh?
@IIJonnyBoyII it's a weird word grown men use when someone might think they're into the same sex ....it's very odd to me but funny nonetheless
Comparing Robert Eggers cinematic style to Hellblade 2 is such a good comparison that i never even thought of, the first game was really damn good
Jake's passion for gaming truly shine still in the way he discusses them. I'm in my thirties and been gaming since I was about 6 and it's incredible how much the industry has evolved in that time span. Now I have so many games to play and so little time so I'm still working through my backlog. I tend to buy games on a delay for the bugs to be ironed out and for discounts so I'm still playing games from 2020-22.
Same here, man. I only buy new if I feel the game needs support or I get too excited, lol.
Fastest growing industry out there.
Yep, same here too, its really hard to keep up now....considering how little time we have.😔😔
Same. I only get new games for Christmas or birthday or the few I have to have like Zelda or Borderlands.
@@viceralchart6343not to mention the price of games… I mean at least Steam prices aren’t nuts like Playstation with $70, but still I’m not trying to pay that much for a roll of the dice that the game isn’t broken or is too short.
Same here, thank god for the steam deck!
Very much looking forward to Black Myth Wu Kong and Where Winds Meet. Loving how the Wuxia genre is getting momentum in games and these two are the ones that intrigue me most.
Yes! And Crimson Dessert
The best thing about a new year is knowing that a bunch of games will come from left field that you didn't expect that you will love. Obviously a bunch of those can be indies, but even in the lean years there's always something that just pops up and floors you.
Im looking forward to Prince of Persia definitely.
This is so true. It's fun to look back at each year and realize just how many games surprised you - coming completely out of left field.
@@GMaster7 Good example of this being something like Dredge or Hi-Fi Rush
You might not care but do you remember when mortal kombat 11 juts got announced out of nowhere and was out a month later ? That floored me
Heya, Jake, thanks for the list - I've added a few to my wishlist. I love watching you talk about the stuff you enjoy! I hope you get well soon from that cold, and wish you an awesome 2024!
FF7 Rebirth, Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth and Dragons Dogma 2 all being in Jan, Feb, March is incredible to me. I dont think a year has ever started out this big in gaming.
Don't see ant triple a games there dead month
@@dannyCoolSwag what?
@dannyCoolSwag are you a terf?
@@SamGoeltz what's that. How much you bench bro probably don't even lift to busy playing games in your mommas basement
@dannyCoolSwag where did you go little boy? Did daddy sam scare you that much? Want to lie about lifting weights again? 😙
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is gonna take over the first half of 2024 for me lol
I’m gonna be playing till May at least
@@victor_734 Lol
idk if i will be playing it that long but im definitely putting around 300 hours again in the first two to three months same as Remake
That game, Persona 3 Reload, & Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth are going to take up so much of my time.
@@Phanthief95 nice!
Like A Dragon 8 for me, Kiryu has been a major part of my life since his debut in 2005 so i can't wait to see how his arc finally ends but god i'm gonna miss him (i hope they find a way to make Takaya Kuroda appear in the series in future)
I doubt they will actually end Kiryu. It just wouldn't make sense. He is everyone's favorite bad ass character, so whether they start making prequels or whatever they have to do, I don't think Kiryu is going to actually be gone. At least I hope not. But I enjoy the games so much that while I wouldn't want Kiryu to go anywhere, I would still play them without Kiryu. Sometimes (only sometimes) I do get a little bit bored of his demeanor. So I like Ichi for that reason.
We gonna wildin in Hawaii boii!!
@@moralias104 can't wait to explore Hawaii
Kiryu is awesome and i love him but Ichiban is more my kinda guy. LaD 7 is my fav in the series and i've played every yakuza apart from the zombie one so infinite wealth has a lot to live up to. Really excited to see kiryu's arc end too but also more development with ichiban!
@@BenAstridge Like a Dragon 7 has honestly become my favourite games in the series and my favourite game of all time
Happy New Year, Jake.
2024 is getting packed for me already. LaD Infinite Wealth, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Trails through Daybreak, Rise of the Ronin, Dragon's Dogma 2, Another Code Recollections, Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes, Metaphor Re Fantazio ... and those are just the announced games. Can't wait to see what else is coming out this year.
This is basically my list, too.
Wouldn't mind switch ports of LoH:trails in the sky trilogy either... And Ys Nordic
Great video as always! I think my top 3 most anticipated for next year would be Tekken 8, Avowed and Star Wars Outlaws
I really hope for an update on Max Payne the remakes. The passing of James McCaffrey is very unfortunate for obvious reasons and I’m wondering how much that’s going to affect the project
I mean they probably used Sam Lake instead of James McCaffrey (wasn’t he only Max in 3?)
@@coreycasciano3255 James was the voice of the character in the entire trilogy.
Yeah I can't wait for the next Michael De Santa game neither.
The man just passed away, have a bit respect. They gonna give an update when their friend has passed.
Jake, yourself and Gameranx are two things I look forward to every single day. Thank you and the rest of the team for bringing joy into my life day in and day out. You guys rock, man!
Happy new year Jake. Back in 7th grade my friend Chris showed me gameranx during e3…. So so many years later … we still kicking. It’s truly something awesome.
This time. Pizzas on me.
I’m also excited to play through some of 2023s backlog games and some older ones I’ve been meaning to get to
As someone that plays almost exclusively indie games I am really excited for next year: Skate Story, Streets of Rogue 2, Selaco, Anger Foot, Operation Black Mesa, Stick it to the Stickman, Animal Well, Mullet Mad Jack, maybe Squirrel with a Gun and Starstruck Vagabond (Yahtzee's next game) will come out 2024 too.
Great list, Jake. We have a lot of anticipated games in common. I hope 24 has a lot of great games as 23.
I'm looking forward to Hell Divers 2, Dragons Dogma 2, and hopefully ARC Raiders comes out as well (from studio who made THE FINALS) - I played the first beta test with my friend and it was pretty fun/has good core gameplay but just needed more content and its been at least half a year since I played the beta so hoping it makes a return in 2024 and is released.
Jake you're my favorite person on UA-cam at the moment, been awhile now actually. I really like you're genuine views and opinions on games. Also your passion for gaming is contagious
Love that you are so honest and down to earth, you seem like a regular guy like us that knows what he enjoys, appreciate that.
Happy New Year, Jake. :)
Waited this long for Wolf among us 2, I’m willing to wait for it to be completed. I love Fables.
I’m a lurker but when Wolf Among Us is mentioned… The first game is amazing, great story and setting, it goes on sale often, play it! I really hope season 2 comes out…
Its listed on epic store coming soon wolf among us 2
Happy new year Jake!
Happy new year Jake Hairino!
I only have three games on my 2024 list. I’m treating 2024 as backlog clearing time. Because there’s so much from 2023 I’ve not finished yet.
Same! I’ve got soo much to play that I’m taking a breather from buying new games. Heck there’s stuff from 2022 that I still haven’t bought yet
same! i'm on a game buying ban for the whole 2024 😅
I’m excited for Alone in the Dark for the 20s horror and Star Wars Outlaws for steering away from Jedi like it’s trying to give the experience that 1313 could have delivered. Also hyped for Warhammer Space Marine 2.
I watch you for the positivity towards gaming, it's very refreshing, please keep it up
have a great new year jake!!
I'm really hoping for Max Payne to come and surprise us in 2024 or even just a trailer of the remake, really hoping Dragon Ball Sparking Zero will release in October and I'm hoping Spiderman 2 will get a Ghost of Tsushima multiplayer type of DLC
The game I am looking forward to the most in 2024 is Avowed. I love Obsidian and can’t wait for a PoE spin off
Hey Jake I've only just started watching your videos like 2 weeks ago and I'm so addicted to them because of your channel I've found so many games to play now all thanks to you and falcon and now I play SOULS LIKE GAMES also and I wanna thank youz for introducing me to them they are amazing to play,
HAPPY NEW YEAR MY FRIEND.
There's probably a bunch coming that I'm just not thinking of but the three I think about most often is FF7, Persona 3 Reload and Metaphor. I've been really into Fantasy lately so I'm interested to see Atlus's take on the genre. Edit: Hopefully some news on some of those new Silent Hill games? Silent Hill F looks amazing.
On the VR side of things, im really looking forward to Wanderer, vertigo 2, phasmophobia, and Madison coming to psvr2
Based VR enjoyer
@@SwirlyTwirl ?
Also Into the radius 2
Rich dude
Thanks for the list and looking forward to another year of your content! Non-gamer related question, I noticed you mentioned you enjoy bourbon while playing Frost Punk. What kind of bourbon do you enjoy with your games? Do you have a particular kind for specific games or just drink what you enjoy at the time? And most importantly do you enjoy them with a large grain of salt and a pizza? Happy New Year!
Been watching you on Gameranx for years glad I finally got suggested your channel Jake!
THIS guy. I keep coming back to this channel. JB's cadance and presentation style is evocative. I believe him. Damn, I sincerely hope this platform can give him the revenue to keep doing these shows (both here and on BecauseVideoGames). Bravo, sir.
I think gameranxs definitely keeps him afloat for these smaller channels
Almost time for 2024 Pizza Time 😭. Have a good new year to Jake and everyone 🫱🏽🫲🏼
Happy New Year! and thanks for watching. I appreciate it 🍕
To be totally honest, all the games I was excited for came out this year. So the most I really hope for is for capcom to announce the next RE game. Which hopefully will be 2024 judging by the pace of their last few releases
Same. I don't think there's anything as exciting as 23 for me.
@UniverseGlider I know Capcom has Dragon's Dogma coming 2024, and then is supposed to have Monster Hunter Wilds come out 2025 too. They been putting in some serious work
I’m glad someone said this. The year so far is looking like the big releases are for a specific type of gamer and not a ton of mass appeals games like 2023
Which I’m not complaining about, perfect year for backlog grinding
What games were highlights for you then because I only bought 1 game all throughout 2023 and that was Lethal Company which I’ve only played two or three times
@emiel255 you have to ask? These weren't even my highlights but there are some really obvious ones.
Harry potter
Final Fantasy 16 and crisis core
Mortal kombat
Star wars
Baulders gate
Spider man
Legend of zelda
Re4
Happy new year, dude!
Looking forward for Dragons Dogma 2, Star wars Outlaws and Stalker 2 the most
btw Happy New Year Jake
Black myth wukong, Nightingale, and hoping for ghost of tsushima, FF16, and Bloodborne steam ports still
I know everyone is burnt out on souls likes but I'm really excited to see how Black Myth Wukong turns out
I need Rise of Ronin to hold me over, but DAMN I NEED THAT JOURNEY TO THE WEST arc
Especially because only the fights give me souls like vibes, which I'm fine with. Otherwise it feels like a much more colorful and RPG-y experience, if that makes sense (I know Souls games are RPG, but for me, they never really delivered the elements that for me at least, make an RPG a true RPG, dialogue and story).
Yeasssssss
GOTY prediction for black myth. It looks incredible.
Not really a souls like seems more witcher eske
With the way I play games now, I’m more excited about going through my back log and completing games in there. When all the big titles of 2024 come out, I will wait to play them so all the hype can calm down, all the bugs can be patched, and maybe some DLC for a more complete package will be released. This method worked for Cyberpunk and I could not be happier.
Jake you my internet gaming homie. Much love bro.
Rise of ronin for me. Team ninja confirmed it won’t be souls like which is a plus in my book. It also have 3 difficulty options. Story driven difficulty, normal difficulty and the last difficulty was stated to be for “hardcore players who are familiar with team ninja games”. Can’t wait for this game
Yeah not every action game needs souls difficulty lol, having played Lies of P, Lords of the Fallen, and Armored Core VI back to back I'm good when it comes to that for a while!
I’m glad too, it looked interesting but I was worried it was going to be souls like. I’ve tried Bloodborne and DS but I just don’t have the patience for them.
@@cenciende9401 i agree 💯
@@liquidsword601 can’t wait bro! 🔥
I’m really hyped up for Infinite Wealth. Like a Dragon had such a likeable cast and I really want to see where they end up next
If they have a way I can spam Kiryus free combat mode, I'll play it. The turn based was extremely repetitive and single attack spam for me tbh.
@@FeiFongWang Yeah I’m kinda used to that so didn’t bother me too much. The different variety of jobs kept things fresh for me too
Tekken 8, Rise Of Ronin, Space Marine 2, Banishers, Alnone In The Dark and Black Myth are my games for this year.
In case you don’t hear it enough, I thoroughly enjoy your general optimism and it’s a big reason I follow your channel and gameranx
How much more traditional can you get than 2D Prince of Persia? I like that it’s going back to its roots.
Helldivers 2 is going to be underrated just like the first game. I can’t wait to play it!!
Hell yeah brother was looking for this
It wasn't.
Been watching you years man love your channel ⚡️
I know there are concerns about it, but everything that's been released about Palworld has me so excited. Survival crafting, 3rd person shooting, monster collecting and battling, it looks so much fun and I'm so excited.
Good Choice!
Can’t wait to see what banger GameMill is working on next! 🔥
They never disappoint. Lol
Yessir 😭
I hope they do a DreamWorks ip next
Hey Jake! First of all, happy new year to you, and thank you for all the great content over the course of 2023. I can't wait to see what yourself and the gameranx team have in store for 2024.
With that being said, I'm finding that your "s" sounds in this video are actually hurting my ears. I'm not using the most quality earphones at the moment, but I thought that I would just inform you in case I'm not the only one who has to turn the volume almost all the way down. You're not the only person who has these sharp "s" sounds, but I've also heard people shouting the word "SUCKS" and haven't found myself needing to turn their volume down, so maybe it's not my earphones? I'm not sure.
Either way, I'll still be watching any content you put out. Hope you have a fantastic 2024 right from the word go!
Relating to your talk on Eastern European post-apocalyptic stuff - I highly recommend Darkwood if you haven’t already tried it. It’s pure nightmare fuel and you’ll love/hate it, it’s certainly an experience on an OLED screen with the lights off.
I'm planning on trying something different next year, and trying to use 2024 as a backlog year (ive wrote a list of roughly 40 games in my backlog, i know i'm going to be addicted to GTA 6 in 2025, so it's now or never lol)
I've given myself 5 games maximum i can buy at release - mentally used 2 already in Suicide Squad + Rise Of The Ronin lol
And ive got a handful of byes if they release next year - Ghost Of Tsushima 2, i'm looking at you 👁
Warhammer 40k's on my bye list too! I'm sold on the minigun gameplay, i know that's going to feel ridiculously fun on the dualsense controller
Wolf Among Us 2! I forgot about that one, i need to put that on my GOT2 list lol
Same I haven't played Dave The Diver, Dredge, Jedi Survivor, Alan Wake 2 and a bunch of other games from this year yet.
They all seem more exciting than most of 2024 titles.
I do have Game Pass though so if something decent comes to that.
I can barely play 1 game a month, backlog always grows, never shrinks...
@@cenciende9401 lately I barely buy any new games in all throughout 2023 I’ve bought only one game and that was legal company😅
Dude I can't wait to play Fantasy VII Rebirth, Tekken 8, DD2, Alone in the dark and Phantom Blade 0 as well 👀🔥
Enshrouded - jan 4 2024 the 1 I'm looking forward to the most
Super hyped for 2024 got my sights on nine sols and hoping for some news for silk song
Two of my most hyped games are HollowKnight Silksong. And the new game from the Ori Devs, (think it was called no rest for the wicked)
will 2024 be the year of Silksong? it really feels like it but I've been wrong with it before
Really, really hope so...
FFVII Rebirth is big for me, but the two ones I can't wait for most is Hollow Knight: Silksong and Eiyuden Chronicles. Suikoden is an all-time fav of mine and I can't wait for the spiritual successor. I was a backer for that project, long time coming!
Same, but I'm on PC, so won't be holding my breath.
Mines is ER Shadow of the Erdtree and Dragon Quest 3 hd2d. Think that's it...
I wouldn't wait on Silksong. Every year that's on my list and every year it doesn't turn up.
You and me both. I'm using pto to play Eiyuden 😂
@@hapwn FF7 Rebirth is a 3 month PS5 exclusive, so chances are it will come to PC later on in 2024
@@jimmythegamer2231 does that include Steam? Last time they said that it took almost 2 years because of EPIC. FU EPIC! 🖕
Oh, and happy new year to you, Jake, the entire Gameranx crew (yes I realize this is his own channel and has nothing to do with them) and anyone reading this! Cheers!!!🎉
Way to start out a video Jake. Reminding me of the unstoppable force of inevitable death. Happy 2024!
Hellblade 2 is one of the games I'm most looking forward to for 2024, especially after having just finished the first Hellblade and greatly enjoying it.
Outside of that, Persona 3 Reload and Metaphor ReFantazio from Atlus are two games I'm really excited for. I honestly think P3R might be my GOTY for 2024.
great list. Metaphor ReFantazio looks so unique
@@JakeBaldino Thanks lol. The fact that Metaphor ReFantazio has both turn-based AND real time combat at the same time is really awesome. I think the only games I have ever seen do a similar thing before are the Trails games.
The first one, cool story but kinda lame combat. I’ll just watch the cutscenes
@@chickengenius4202 You do you but I thought the first game was quite good. Combat was pretty simple but combat wasn't the main focus of the game I think. More so the puzzles and the immersive story. Either way, still really impressive for a game made by like 20 people.
If you didn't like the first game, the second probably won't be for you as well. Though I do think combat will be improved in the sequel, just not dramatically to the point of it becoming a non-stop hack-and-slash.
@@jimmythegamer2231 I agree. The combat and puzzles were simple, but the game is short and has excellent pacing. I found the lack of stuff like level ups and gear/loot refreshing. We have so many of those every year. Plus, Hellblade integrates psychosis not only as a story element but as a unique mechanic. Perfect example of gameplay and story being intertwined, not awkwardly separate.
The game I’ve been waiting for ever since the announcement is HellBlade 2!
big same
Great video, awesome content as always man, thanks!
Loved every game you talked about. The only game. I can't get into for some reason and i've played it twice is Hellblade: Senua's sacrifice. I love horror games but can't get into it. I hope the second one is Awesome and proves me wrong.
That was a dark opening to the video. Have a happy New Year. Sincerely.
Senua's Sacrifice was a very cool game, I really liked the ending and it is very cool in VR, looking forward to the next one.
If Vampire: The Masquerade is going to come out, it would be nice to see the original get a touch-up and re-release.
That would be awesome
Looking forward to/hoping for:
Sparking Zero news and gameplay, more info and gameplay for Kemuri, stellar blade, rise of the ronin, gameplay of phantom blade 0, that 8ing hunter x hunter fihgting game, update on slitterhead, update on gendesigns new game, a new game announcement from Platinumgames, new announcement from Tango gameworks and hopefully a reveal for the Switch 2 which I'm hoping is called the super switch
I'm really hoping that you and/or gameranx cover Once Human. Though at the time of this comment, it's still in closed beta (full release Q3 2024), having experienced it firsthand, it's something truly special. Many have even called it a game that The Day Before was supposed to be.
I just played the original Tomb Raider for the first time last month and it was SO much fun. It's one of those games I'm regretting not playing sooner. The main reason I hadn't was because of the controls, but the controls weren't nearly as bad as I remembered them being. I'm very much looking forward to playing the second and third games with the remasters!
Avowed is the only 2024 game I’m really super duper truly eager to play. I enjoyed Outer Worlds enough to see that Obsidian can do it, I just love the fantasy setting *so much more* than the sci-fi/apocalypse setting of TOW or Fallout. If Avowed is just “What if Outer Worlds, but make it Elder Scrolls-themed”, I’ll be happy. I’m playing through Pillars Of Eternity right now, due to my love for BG3 and fear of losing my BG3 saves, and the lore is incredible. If the world is even half as complex and compelling as it is in POE, with the combat of TES, and the world/level design of TOW… It’ll probably be my GOTY. (Edit: I totally forgot about Dragons Dogma 2. Avowed will still be my most anticipated, but DD2 will be great too(
Im looking forward to finishing my 2023 backlog
Space marine on the 360 probably is my favourite game from the 360 generation I love it and I can’t wait for number 2❤
Surprised Avowed didn't make the list. While I wish it was PoE3, I'm still very excited to see what Obsidian can do on a Microsoft budget. Especially after their success with their takes on Fallout/Fallout-likes as they now take on an Elder Scrolls-like project
Sadly, I'm guessing that will be pushed to 2025, based on how these things have gone recently.
Oh shit I completely forgot about this game. I am very hyped about this.
I'm really hoping Crimson Desert comes out next year as well (though with how ambitious it looks they should take as long as they need to finish it).
The fact that Heilung is gonna make the music for Hellblade 2 is absolutely jawdropping, one of the best live experiences ive ever had, music of the year is basically already set at least for me
And performance of the year as well probably because Melena Jeurgens has showed she is a really great actress
@@jimmythegamer2231 fun fact, she was originally just acting as a placeholder being a dev herself until they find a professional mocap actress but she did such a great job that they just rolled with her for the full game, she even won a big award that year
Your wishlist of games are fairly the same like mine. We got similar taste in video games, so it's good!
I'm excited for The First Descendant, I played the beta and loved it.
Best Jake declaration of 2023:
“Sexy vampires… let’s do it.” 😂
YES!!
Elden Ring DLC. That’s what I wanna play
You mentioned so many great ones. 2024 should be a great year for games.
My top one right now is Dragon's Dogma 2
I’m excited for more Jakey videos in 2024
Frostpunk got me back into city builders after like 10 years. I've been psyched for the sequel for ages.
Happy new years to all! ❤
0:08 im feeling so old now. i feel like 2015 was yesterday, damn.
I’m excited for TLOU2 remastered. Just played the first game a few months ago on the ps4 version, and fell in love. Got a Ps5 for Christmas and really excited for the remaster.
This man keeps me up to date
Seems like this will be a chill year compared to last year. Understandable
One game that I’m highly anticipating that’s coming out at the end of January is Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth.
Every fan of the Yakuza series is waiting for this game as not only does it look like the biggest Yakuza game yet & not only is it a continuation of Ichiban Kasuga’s story from Yakuza Like a Dragon, but the game is also looking to be a proper finale to Kazuma Kiryu’s story.
Im hyped for nightingale, I'm a bit of a crafting/survival junkie and if this game hits, it has the chance to redefine the genre. I originally thought it was going to be an rpg, but I'm pumped that it's a survival game.
Bro, I’m hyped for Frostpunk 2 man! The first game took me completely by surprise, didn’t expect it to be this good. Top notch game tbh 💯
Would love to see Death Trash get a full relase, been in Early Access for a long time.
The biggest thing that could happen for me is a new Nintendo console.
I was struggling really badly with my mental health the year before the pandemic, and nothing was bringing me any happiness. In the middle of all that I had to perform cpr on my then 5 month old baby (he's fine now btw, a very big fan of Mario Wonder). The point of me writing down all this misery is because thats what buying the Switch brought me out of. It was the first thing that started to make me happy, it got me through the pandemic, it made games become my coping mechanism after years of feeling like I had no time to play. I owe the nintendo switch so much for pulling me out of a dark place, but its been gathering dust, with a small break when Tears of the Kingdom came out. Nintendo is my happy place, but my happy place has become a little stale lately.
I'm also excited for Frostpunk!
