Hi all,
It’s been a while.
There are a couple of games, that I think are really good, coming out in the next months that I am planning to play so I decided to share the list and get your thoughts on it.
Frostpunk 2
This is a sequel to Frostpunk, a post-apocalyptic city builder/survival game that was release in April 2018.
The combination of a city builder with survival elements in a post-apocalyptic setting really makes me want to play this game. The first game had a solid fan base, was nominated/received a number of awards (including a Bafta nominee) and received good reviews. This sets high expectation for the sequel. I do think the price for Frostpunk 2, being $44.99, is on the high end especially compared to Frostpunk 1 selling for $29.99 which is a 50% increase. The game is set to release on September 20th.
The Diablo 4 - Vessel of Hatred
Diablo 4 had its ups and downs since its release. I think the release was painful and I think they struggled through the first year with hit and misses (more misses). I currently have 2 level 100 characters (a rogue and a sorc) but I am still feeling that the game is lacking end game content. It becomes extremely repetitive without any real progression. The other thing is that group play doesn’t add anything, other than being social with friends or being able to benefit from others boss materials… There is no team dynamic (tank, healer, dps, etc) just adding to the same repetition.
I hope the Vessel of Hatred with a new class and additional content will address these shortcomings. Release date of the first expansion is October 8th.
Please let me know what you think about these upcoming games and if you intend to play them. Also would like to hear if you have any future releases you are looking forward too.
