Can't wait

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Damn, between this and Mythwrecked my April is stacked. The Modern Audience is eating good.

 

[LordCBH]

I’ll give it a shot, but the trailers just haven’t sat right with me so far.

 

[adamsapple]

Can't wait

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Cool. Can't wait to check it out.

Downloading OST on apple music to listen later.

If this doesn't grab the #8 spot in the April Circana report I'm gonna riot.

[Filben]

Very cool. Deep south as a setting, cool art style and voice overs, and weird characters.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Can wait!

Hate-watching some of these games crash in to existence is far more entertaining than the games themselves.

 

[clarky]

Another 7/10 incoming

Between 7 and 10 CCU? Yeah I can see that.

 

[Punished Miku]

Olivier is one of the best. I'll check out the OST for sure

[Magic Carpet]

Is main character looking for a mom?

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

GamePass continues to deliver

5 days early access is kind of insane though.

 

[skyfinch]

My powerful, but affordable, Series S is ready!

 

[BigLee74]

Would be rude not to try given it’s on Gamepass!

 

[Little Chicken]

Another hit incoming.

Then DOOM the month after.

Developer/publisher of the year

[Trilobit]

I think it looks charming and good. I think there should be more games of this kind of "black mythos". Instead of games mostly just substituting white characters(looking at you GoW) with black ones.

I know right!

White male gamers were a mistake!

 

[b0uncyfr0]

This one looks alright but let's hope it's distinct enough to stand out.

 

[N0S]

GP stay feedin

 

[Spitfire098]

The hype around South of Midnight is massive and growing.

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

I'll check out the soundtrack when it is ripped and hits youtube in order to make sure they don't get engagement numbers or money from me and that's about it. I hope it fails miserably.

 

[ElFenomeno]

Game looks good, Kena vibes which I enjoyed.

 

[II_JumPeR_I]

Another Microsoft game withiut full Localization for Europe.
No German Voiceover, no interest.
Shouldnt be a thing in 2025

You said the same thing about Avowed and AC Shadows, and yet you were one of the first people on GAF playing them papito

I know but with this one I am 100% sure. Not only the fact that the studio is stupidly woke, but the gameplay looks boring and uninspired. I dont find anything about the game remotely attractive
