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 actually have had this one on my Steam wishlist for a while, and I'm so excited for it as well! That crisp PS2 graphics vibe with such an in-depth world and systems has me really excited to get my hands on it when it comes out. This is one of those ones that I agree, even though I've been burnt by EA and preordering in the past, I've gotta be there for this one!

My wife and I have been trying to rein in our spending, get ourselves into a stable space and get proper savings going.

.... that's literally the only thing that stopped me from pledging on the patreon and begging for access to the alpha testing.....I am so so so soooooo psyched for it! And those graphics.... fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck 🥵 PS2 crusty enough to bring back memories of great games from my youth, but with a bit of extra that shows it's an intentional choice. Like yeah, it looks like they're all cubist renditions of people....but then there's volumetric fog, and systems for how windy interacts with individual leaves on the trees.....
