I'm looking at my ever growing backlog, and realized that I have 7 new releases that I really want to play that have just come out or about to come out. Look at this lineup we got from February 7th to April 4th (8 weeks total):
- Feb 7th - Nioh
- Feb 14th - For Honor
- Feb 28th - Horizon Zero Dawn
- Feb 28th - Torment: Tides of Numenera
- March 7th - Nier: Automata
- March 21st - Mass Effect: Andromeda
- April 4th - Persona 5
Add to that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on March 3rd and that makes 8 potentially good games in 8 weeks. (I'm personally not going to pick up a Switch for one game.) I have no idea how Torment or Mass Effect will turn out, but the reception for the other 6 games is fairly positive so far. On one hand I hope the rest of the year continues to pump out great games like this, but on the other hand I kinda hope it doesn't so I can actually get through these games before the year ends.
Oh, and I'm kind of looking forward to seeing how River City Ransom: Underground is, but I think that's not going to be everyone's cup of tea and the potential for mediocrity is high.
