Everspace 2 (om nom nom, loved it)

Was at a bit of a slow spot. Then I picked up Everspace 2 on a whim. OMG that is a fantastic game; also learned to use button style peddles for rolls. Everspace 2 combat sits at a pretty sweet spot between No Man's Sky and Star Citizen (or ED). The combat is still arcade like but you can move your ship well in 3d space.

The Rift Breaker (surprise! it's awesome)

Most recently I picked up The Rift Breaker and wasn't expecting much.... oops. Another fantastic game. Brings back some Total Annihilation memories and Empire Earth to some extent due to the massive build out of bases (if you want). The Rift Breaker somehow continues add in more resources in a way that doesn't fatigue much. They also removed "it's a running sim" issue for building your base. Can't wait to see how multiplayer works out, whenever that happens. If multiplayer works well this will be a must play for our little game group.

Jagged Alliance 3 (like really? a real deal this time?)

Cautiously curious about Jagged Alliance 3. They brought in the director from JA 1&2 and looks like they have really tried to not screw up this installment. Could be good, I'll likely roll the dice on that day one as I loved JA:1&2 and others in this genre.

Starfield (oh buddy!)

Finally, completely throwing caution to the wind..... Starfield. This is the top game on my watch list and I cannot wait to see how it plays out. I classify Bethesda Fallout and Elder Scroll games as "clutter looters" and absolutely eat them up. Whatever Starfield may be, 1000 worlds for mods to drop content on is likely going to give it a very long life. Really looking forward to this one.
