So I thought it might be good to start looking at each month of gaming just to see what's looking good and what's not.
What are you most interested in this month if at all? It's a surprisingly big month.
For me Apex Legends has come out of left field. I actually do worry about the effect it'll have on BFV. It hit 10 million users in just 72 hours. Those numbers have to eat into the market of other titles imo.
God Eater 3 is my "guilty pleasure" game this month. I know it'll always get middling reviews but I also always love it more than those middling reviews would suggest.
Fwiw, I've nearly finished AC7 and think it's brilliant.
Anthem is a launch day buy imo. Crackdown 3 I think will disappoint many, but I hear it's basically a decent, more modern CD1 so I'm down with that if you are @SRR 😉
I'm tempted by Dirt Rally 2 but I'll wait and see if it gets PSVR support. So far they're only touting oculus. 🙁
Metro I want, but I'm prepared to wait. FC New Dawn. I'll get cheap. I've been disappointed by every FC game that wasn't Blood Dragon.
Trials... I'm tempted. Leaderboards are cross platform iirc, but I want it on switch and I can see issues. Performance on complex tracks for one, but most importantly the lack of analogue triggers is going to really hamper high level play imo. It's one element of the design of the switch that I just can't fathom.
