Here are select games I think are worth noticing.
August 30th: Destroy All Humans 2 Reprobed: Remake of the classic title, which is apparently better than the first Destroy All Humans game. So far seems to be very polished per reviewers who have had a copy of the game.
August 30th: F1 Manager 2020: I don't really follow sports games but some people may be interested in this
September 1: JJBA All Star Battle R: For you hardcore fighter gamers, no, this does not have rollback. Honestly I think its a bit pricey for a remaster that's launching in this game without rollback, and if you're an anime and fighter fan I'd go buy Strive, Melty Blood Type Lumina or Arena Ultimax on sale, as Strive and Melty Blood already have rollback and its been announced for Arena Ultimax.
September 1: Mythbusters The Game: Honestly sounds super interesting conceptually; I loved Mythbusters, but I'm not sure whether this will be gimmicky or genuinely fun. I guess it depends on the budget it got.
September 2: Lego Brawls: Lego tries to take on the Smash formula. Honestly with Multiversus's success they better bring something really good to the table if they don't wanna get smashed.
September 2: Made in Abyss Binary Star Falling Into Darkness: JRPG made by the same team as Danganronpa.
September 8: NBA 2K23: I don't follow sports games, but somebody might be into this.
September 8: Steel Rising: Soulslike RPG from the makers of Greedfall. Not really interested myself since I thought Greedfall was mediocre, but some people may be.
September 9: Splatoon 3: I'm listing a small number of Switch games here, and Splatoon 3 is one of them.
September 13: Isonzo: Another WWI MP shooter, only this one seems to be getting more traction.
September 19: Return to Monkey Island: Monkey Islands a classic, but man, that art style reminds me of corporate logos.
September 22: Slime Rancher 2: The sequel to the popular cutesy ranching game enters early access.
September 22: The Diofield Chronicle: Another Square Enix JRPG! The first of 5 coming this fall.
September 27: The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero: Getting a Steam English release. Finally.
September 27: Kena Bridge of Spirits: An Epic Exclusive finally gets a real release! Described as "if a Pixar movie was a game," Kena features adorable graphics and action combat.
September 29: Moonbreaker: New virtual miniatures game with lore written by Brandon Sanderson.
September 30: FIFA 23: I'm not into sports, but I'm sure somebody is.
September 2022: The Wandering Village: Doesn't have a set date, but giving its high rankings in terms of being one of the top wishlisted games on Steam its probably worth mentioning this city builder.
October 11: Coral Island: Looks like another take on the Animal Crossing formula on PC.
October 13: The Last Oricru: Sci-fi medieval ARPG. Don't know much about it, but it has a decent amount of wishlists.
October 14: Dragon Ball The Breakers: Dead by Daylight with Dragonball characters.
October 18: A Plague Tale Requiem: Didn't like the first
October 20: Warhammer: Shootas, Blood and Teef: a 2D side scrolling Ork shooter.
October 21: Gotham Knights: The Batman sequel is finally here! Here's hoping its not a letdown.
October 21: Scorn: Lovecraftian FPS with a unique style, but apparently not amazing gameplay.
October 21: New Tales from the Borderlands: This is written by the Borderlands team itself, not Telltale. We all know what Borderlands writing is like...
October 27: Star Ocean The Divine Force: The second of Square Enix's 5 JRPGs. Honestly kinda excited about this one: it features 3D movement across its map, which looks really cool. Also I prefer action combat over turnbased, and the waifus are cute. Seems like a win-win-win to me.
October 28: COD MW II: Apparently Activision is trying to redeem themselves. However, with their modern campaign lengths, $70 is a hard sell for someone with no interest in multiplayer. Also, I don't really wanna play it till after I can buy MW I reboot after it comes to Steam.
October 31: No More Room in Hell 2, The Unliving: First is a horror game, second is an action RPG roguelike. Only added them because they were high on Steams wishlisted, so they must be good if they are small indie games getting that much attention.
November 4: Harvestella: 3/5 of Square Enix's JRPGs. Really excited about this too. Combat looks good, and it has animal crossing style town building gameplay, or something like that. Still have to watch the gameplay that released the other day.
November 8: Sonic Frontiers: May or may not be a disaster.
November 11: Valkyrie Elysium: 4/5 of Square's JRPGs. Again, looks good to me. I like Japanese ARPGs. If you have a PS5, this releases in September on that platform.
November 11: Tactics Ogre Reborn: The final Square JRPGs of the season. Yes, they really are releasing the last 3 this close together. Anyway, Tactics Ogre Reborn is a remaster of a classic game with 60 hours of SRPG gameplay.
November 16: Ixion: City building game in space with space opera elements.
November 18: Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me: I like the idea for this one, but I hope Supermassive steps up their execution.
November 18: Pokemon Scarlet/Violet: Second Switch game I'm including. First mainline Pokemon title to be fully open world.
November 22: The Evil West: Devil May Cry with guns!
November 22: GUNGRAVE G.O.R.E.: Don't know much about this, its some kind third person Korean single player shooter.
November 30: Warhammer 40,000 Darktide: From the creators of Vermintide, but set in regular 40K.
December 2: Callisto Protocol: Horror space survival game inspired by Dead Space.
December 6: Hello Neighbor 2: Popular meme game gets a sequel.
December 8: Witch on a Holy Night: Unfortunately only coming to Switch and PS4, but this will be the first time a Type Moon VN gets an official Western release.
December 13: High on Life: From the creators of Rick & Morty and staring the voice actor for Morty. Looks funny, but the gameplay looks a bit basic.
December 15: Blacktail: Slavic inspired fantasy first person level based RPG about the origins of Baba Yaga.
August 30th: Destroy All Humans 2 Reprobed: Remake of the classic title, which is apparently better than the first Destroy All Humans game. So far seems to be very polished per reviewers who have had a copy of the game.
