Upcoming 'hidden gems' you are are really excited about
- Thread starter MickZan
- Start date
It's kind of... eternally upcoming, with no set release plans, but I'm really looking forward to Highfleet. It's a game by Constantin Koshutin, who previously made the game Hammerfight.
There's a lot of gifs and snippets of the game on the dev's Twitter account.
Plus he recently put up a pretty neat video demonstrating the ship-to-ship combat and how he approached its balancing.

Very excited about this Cartoon Network x Borderlands/Destiny game called Relic Hunters Legend (which I've backed on Kickstarter after that brilliant animated short down below). I've been keeping up with the updates and it seems to be coming along nicely. Really can't wait for this!
It's a really good game, if you can endure its emotional brutality. For what it's worth, it's huge. It took me about 70-80 hours to finish the main game, and another 60+ to finish the post-game and true ending (playing mostly on hard mode). It's pricey for sure, but it'll keep you busy for a long time.
I am really curious if Labyrinth of Galleria will be as dark as Refrain. It looks cute and harmless, but... well, so does Refrain.

I really want Eitr to come out but Steam says TBD and the last release date given was 2018.
I think it's dead :-(

Stay Out of the House on Steam
Can you escape the home of a cannibal serial killer? It's only a matter of time until you're dinner!
Playstation-era throwback horror game from Puppet Combo. Dev has several really cool games already on itch.io.
Followup to the killer NEO Scavenger set in the same universe.
Necrobarista on Steam
In a back-alley cafe, the dead are granted one last night to mingle with the living. Necrobarista follows a dynamic and diverse cast of characters as they navigate Melbourne's hipstery coffee culture, the questionable ethics of necromancy, and the process of letting go.
Aussie take on the VN genre with fully 3D engine.
Synther on Steam
Synther is an FPP simulation game with adventure-like, detective elements set in a futuristic, open world. The game is innovative and reminiscent of early 3D games and DOS applications.
Deus Ex circa 1997.
Considering the near absolute lack of marketing... I'm still pretty excited about a new Mechwarrior.
Warlander- a fantasy take on MGS Revengeance
Arani- a hack'n'slash in the DMC mold based on Brazilian native mythos. It had a few intriguing trailers, but no Steam page yet
Beautiful Desolation- a post-apoc cRPG set in Africa
Scorn- the biopunk horror FPS where you play a skinless protagonist in an alien ship using sentient weapons to kill various monstrosities
-I was also pretty stoked about Lost Soul Aside before Sony got involved and we stopped hearing about a PC version.

Did anyone mention Sakuna of Rice and Ruin yet!?
Here's some gameplay from the Nintendo Treehouse at E3;
It was supposed to come out last year, but it was delayed till the end of this year. Supposedly it was so they could have the Switch version ready for launch, which I really hope is true. I think this game looks freaking amazing and I would love to play it on the Switch at launch.

Streets of Rage 4, which has been a title that I've been dreaming about since 1994. SoR2 is my favorite game of all-time, and SoR3 is in my top 5, so I'm really hoping this game delivers.
Freedom Planet 2. The first game was awesome, and the second one appears even more so, but it's definitely been baking in the oven for a while.

If that's the game where you drink with the devil I'm all for that!

Was it Museum of Simulation Technology? If so its the same game, they just renamed it
Gonna settle on the start of next year to buy it for the remaining winter months. Love Wizardry-type games and particularly anime style ones like Etrian Odyssey and Refrain. Side note, I'm also pissed that NIS hasn't put the Witch and the Hundred Knight series on PC yet.

Wanted to give the game Welcome To Elk (by TripleTopping) some love since I just came across it thanks to this video from Rock Paper Shotgun covering some must watches from EGX. The below vid is linked to the timecode where Welcome To Elk is talked about but I encourage the watching of the rest of the vid for other games that might strike your fancy:
Eurogamer Article
I assume RPS featured this at the end because of how much more layered the game is than traditional indie fare. Seems very poignant and powerful and I want to make a point not to let it slip past my mind come release which is hopefully next year but they can take as much time with it as they'd like.
I really wanna play Americana Dawn, but if it does happen at all, it'll probably be several years away. Last update was in September 2018 saying that the main dev had medical issues but wasn't giving up on finishing it. I believe last time I took a deep look, the others who worked on it hadn't done anything for it in a long time.
Yeah, this is one of my most anticipated too. It looks so good!
Same here.
Edit:
Oh cool, missed this in regards to Cross Code.
Hell yeah. The wait's been long lol.

My most anticipated game! I read on their Twitter feed that 2019 release now look unlikely for Switch, but they're hoping for an Early 2020 release date.
Oh wow, yeah. The old trailer has had me excited for that for ages.
Also Sparklight. I didn't even hear about it until I got an email from Signature Edition Games
Good one. Got this preordered on Amazon, they should have done a US limited edition too heh.
Neat! Really nice art style.
Does anyone know what's going on with Lords of Xulima 2? Supposedly they were going to start on it after They Are Billions was finished. Haven't heard anything else.
If you're a fan of traditional roleplaying games, get Lords of Xulima. It's really good. It blends a lot of influences together, so I can't say it's exactly like this or that, but it feels a lot like the early Might and Magic titles. The press largely ignored it, and to this day it hardly gets any recognition.
TAB on the other hand seems to be a press and streamer darling. Maybe they'll just keep making more of those.
(yes, you can run on the map screen.)

This is what I came to post. Even though Amanita design are quite well known, I never see people talk about Creaks. It looks so good! I'm convinced it will deliver, after having enjoyed Machinarium so much.
I will say I'm surprised the Steam Store still says it's coming in 2019. I don't see it happening, tbh. Feels exactly like Katana Zero's sitiuation last year in that regard.
Also excited for Twelve Minutes
Oh, here's one that I actually have info on. Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls, which has been out on PS3 for ages but is finally coming to PC. It was due out already, actually, but there was some behind-the-scenes nonsense that held it up. Supposedly it'll be here in January. I only played the demo of this on PS3, but it's Wizardry, pure and simple. I'm looking forward to it.
Knuckle Sandwich
Originally planned to release this year, but looks like it will slip into mid-2020.

It's a great game and I had a really good time with it. It's old school Wizardry though, and that is definitely not for everyone lol.
Ooh hoping to see this on PC. It has hints of Double Fine with the art reminding me alot of Psychonauts.
Couldn't make it to EGX this time but Welcome To Elk and Röki look dope!
... This thread has more awesome games than I'm ever gonna play. Someone wanna give me a few million dollars so I can get to work?
The Pedestrian.
Here's the kickstarter trailer from 2 years ago, but the game has massively improve since then.
The devs are planning for a Jan 2020 release and they are planning to release a teaser trailer soon
Also Blue Omen Operation. It seems to be a Mario & Luigi inspired RPG game that I'm keeping an eye for as well
