For me it is Rabbit & Steel, bc I want to play bullet hell FFXIV with my gf: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2132850/Rabbit_and_Steel/
Other than that and Silksong (never ever) I don’t have anything else on my radar for 2024 and beyond (it doesn’t help that I am picky)
Life By You, a Paradox Sims-killer due to release in early access in a little over a month. As much as I love the idea of the Sims, EA has run the franchise to the ground and turned it into their low effort cash cow, pumping out buggy, literally unplayable expansions and not even bothering to patch them up later. Fuck EA, fuck the Sims (though I really did enjoy my dynasty run with my immortal enby helper Alex who holds all the housekeeping skills, who down the generations helps keep the household in order, helps raise the kids, and also fucks everyone in town. I hope I can do something like that again).
God I miss what the Sims could have been if it had a developer who gave a fuck about anything besides profit.
Do you think The Sims would be better if Sid was still around and had creative control? I really enjoyed the old old games - Simant, Simlife, SimCity, SimCopter. Do you know about SimCopter? You could import your SimCity city then fly around in a helicopter delivering cargo, putting out fires, doing cop shit. it was really cool. Like if a fire broke out in your SimCity city, you could save the game, load it in to Simcopter, put out the fire with your firefighting helo, and then load it back to SimCity. I think if the alien UFO attacked your city you could fight it in an apache in Simcopter.
