Multiplat What games are you looking forward to playing in the second half of this year?

[Zazen]

July is only a couple of days away so I thought it would be a good time to make another thread regarding anticipated titles. Now that the major game showcases wrapped up this month we have a pretty good idea of what the lineup is for the rest of the year. You can list as few or as many titles as you can think of. I'll start.

Astro Bot
Black Myth : Wukong
Visions of Mana
Lego Horizon Adventures
Sonic x Shadow Generations
Dragon Ball Sparking Zero
Silent Hill 2
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed
The Plucky Squire
Mario and Luigi Brothership
Dragon Quest 3 HD2D

No way I'll get around to most of these games with my limited time but perhaps the most surprising thing about my list is a lot of these games are for kids lol.

Stalker 2 and Space Marine 2 are the only 2 I'm really waiting on

Space Marine 2 looks great. Sadly it just comes out at a terrible time for me with it releasing just a couple days away from Astro Bot so I probably won't get to it until 2025. Also a bit concerned that the story will be just a couple of hours long like a CoD campaign and the main focus will be on multiplayer.

I didn't realize SP story was a low priority, that kind of sucks. Good PvE Co-op is nice but I'm definitely far more about SP

I don't know that for certain. It just reminds me of Helldivers 2 a bit in that you have people play along with you mowing down hordes of enemies. Maybe there is a huge story but I don't recall them telling us the approximate length yet.

1. Astro Bot
2. Space Marine 2

If any time for a third game to check out within the rest of the year it would likely be either Black Myth Wukong or Stalker 2.

Well I’d play Astro Bot with my kids. I’d probably play SM2 with my buddy who is a 40K nut.

When did you start playing games with your kids? I'm probably going to wait until kindergarten or so.

So my definition of playing with my kids is a bit different than most. For the most part it’s me playing while my kids tell me what I should do. My son easily gets stressed out by video games so he’d usually just rather watch me play. My son is 9 and my daughter is 6. The first game I ever played with them like that would have been Pikmin 3 on our Switch about two years ago. Other games they like watching me play with them are Astro’s Play Room and Super Mario Wonder.

It was my son’s birthday two weeks and I bought him Lego Ninjago and my hope is that he’ll actually play it himself with some guidance from me. He’s literally the only 9 year old I know that doesn’t love video games. When I was his age I was addicted to Doom and also loved playing X-Com and X-Wing on my Dad’s PC.
