The new Heroes game is tempting.

Aside from that, good 'ol backlog. Idea is to finish Gothic 2, beat whatever I have left of Cirote 3 (GBA indie game) and maybe give Valkyrie Profile a replay in preparation for the sequel which I've never played and for which I'm quite excited, as the game looks super cool.
 
Probably just Yoshi for me.

Might've gone for 007 or Lego Batman too but Western devs showing their usual incompetency has both release dates TBD on their Switch 2 version. 🤷‍♂️

Releasing in May: 007 & Forza (both are maybe)
Backlog: finishing Saros, giving TOTK another attempt. Replaying Demon Souls. Backlog has dwindled, with just Death Stranding 2, KCD2, and Subnautica the only notable games, so could fire one of those up time permitting.
 
007 and Lego Batman already preordered

There is a possibility as well that I play Subnautica 2 but I will wait for peoples impressions first
 
Wow, Forza completely sneaked up on me, ive assumed its years away. Gonna give it a try.
Directive 8020 interests me, looks amazing, but ill wait for reviews on that one.
 
Backlog, Quest 3, Forza 6, maybe Diablo 4 new expansion pack.

Still playing Crimson Desert. Eventually want 007 and Forza 6 once it eventually makes it's way to PS5.

Have Directive 8020 and Yoshi pre-ordered. Feels like a million years since the last Dark Pictures game.
 
80+ Hours in and I'm only on Chapter 7 of Crimson Desert, so that will remain my primary. Managed to get my character ready for a 3rd straight Expedition in ARC Raiders, so that's been my multiplayer time... and Saros is calling me once Crimson Desert is done. End of the month is 007, so I'm in a very happy place.
 
All month my massive Backlog stuff only, I was interested in 007 Day 1 but after the previews, I'm gonna wait and given this is IOI they might make this semi-live service like they do with Hitman WoA. So it won't hurt checking this out after a year of updates.

May for me looks like:

- Destiny 2, all campaigns I got from the legacy collection, I'll finish Final Shape and grind a bit for those Halo themed guns and try some gambit, solo dungeons and maybe solo playlists, basically will 100% Steam achievements (pretty easy and quick) and uninstall for a year or two, until I get the next 3-4 campaigns at cheap legacy prices lol.
- Division 1, new fresh play-through, I just keep coming back lol
- Outer Worlds, I had started playing this a year back and always keep quitting lol, will finally play it to completion.
- Pillars of Eternity or Octopath Traveler 1 or some other indie or AA, idk.
- more Age of Empires 2, 3 or 4

That's it.

Oh man, should I add Yoshi to the list? And what's this Directive 8020 about??
 
POE2 for sure, skipped last league so ready to play and hyped for the update reveal later in the week.

Honestly I'm bracing myself for Yoshi to be shit - looks very kid-friendly / low difficulty, but might still be decent. We'll see.

As for Directive 8020

 
I'll be playing more Stardew Valley and rotating through a bunch of other games depending on my mood (currently I reinstalled Hitman World of Assassination, it's still awesome).

The big new game on the horizon for me is eBaseball Pro Spirit, releasing on July 16. Already preordered it. Gonna play a ton of that :]

All of this on PC.

Oh right and I'm still keeping an eye out for when the Kenzan English patch releases. When it does I'll be playing that :pie_open_mouth:

One of the few games in the decade that I consider a masterpiece, it's just perfect. IOI was in turmoil after Absolution and they took their time, rethought the franchise, polished it for years and packed it with so much content with those staggered releases, ultimately giving us WoA, the best Hitman and the best game in its genre till date.

You can play it guns blazing if you're brave enough, you can try multiple ways, you can speedrun the game, you can be creative, crafty and it's just all around excellent and they are still pushing updates! I especially love the speedruns and the freelancer mode.

Currently: Pokopia and slowly making my way through Pragmata. I need to wrap up Pragmata and get ready for Starbites.
 
I think I'm skipping out on everything new and playing catch up instead. May will most likely be dedicated to finishing Starfield and then starting Pragmata and Mouse P.I..

Finally started to play Bayonetta 1 then moving to Bayonetta 2. Got the pack on sale.

I took a break from Crimson Desert.
 
Continuing with Crimson Desert, just passed 100 hours. Took a little break from it this week and weekend upcoming to work on Pragmata which really has surprised me. I will most likely grab 007 shortly after launch. Other than that potential buy, it will be a backlog attack month for me.
 
Other: Mouse PI. Bought it, but I've only had time to play the intro so far. I think things are about to start easing up at work for a bit. We'll see.

After that, maybe I'll start working on TotK again, or maybe I'll spring for Pragmata or DK.
 
I am going to buy 007 as a big fan of movies.

Besides backlog.
Blue Prince just finished.
Probably some j/rpg or adventure title.
 
No 007 for me, unless it's an absolute banger which I really doubt. So I'm finishing Crimson Desert, I've yet to launch Pragmata too and then FH6 with friends.
 
I'm 83 hours into Crimson Desert and I've barely left the first area. Still learning new things all the time so it's keeping me interested.
 
As always, backlog. Pokemon crystal, maybe ruby and sapphire too depending on how long it'll take to complete the Pokedex. On PS5 it's The Order 1886 and Lego Harry Potter Collection with my spouse, but I rarely turn it on these days. Handhelds and 3DS is currently the way to play for me.

I haven't wanted a 007 game since Goldeneye. The new one looks a lot like it borrowed from Uncharted. Which could be good, but I'm not entirely sure. It feels like May is my backlog month. We also have another couple months until R Type Tactics comes out. I just ended up buying Fatal Fury today cause the whole season package is on sale. Saros feels like a May game and I got that too.

I confess I'm using YouTube to figure out how to mix potions, but I'm conquering Atelier Ryza DX on Switch 2.
