I know we already have a thread about Q1 this year being incredibly light so far, per the generation winding down etc. I've been using it as a fine opportunity to wipe a few 2018/2019 games off the backlog, but which games released this year have you actually played?

For me it's been a grand total of 3 - AO Tennis 2 (PC), The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners (Oculus Rift), and Dreams (PS4).

I think Dreams in particular has really benefited from this big empty space without many significant releases. What about you lot, as we await the imminent onslaught of the year's remainder?

I've been focusing on beating Ori and the Blind Forest with a bit of Crash N-Sane Trilogy on the side. I also wrapped up Pokemon Shield pretty early on. Ori kind of loses steam after the amazing Ginso Tree sequence as it adds on too many new abilities for my liking, but it's still a great game throughout.

If Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore counts as a new game I played that even if I already played it on Wii U. I guess I also played the FETH DLC. Other than that I'm mostly working on my backlog.

I try to clear my backlog a little but I played some new games like Journey to the Savage Planet and Darksiders Genesis. Oh, and Dreams, but I don't know if it's a new game since I played it last year too.

Just one: Kunai

Its a Metroidvania where you play as a ninja with a tablet for a face? It just feels really great to move and attack around. Cool Game Boy Color inspired art style, great sense of design. Its for anybody who loves those 90s Japanese action games where overcoming challenges with style was the raison d'etre.

Just beat it it was a fun game though i think the final boss is a wee bit to much of a damage sponge. during the slow new year Beat Yakuza 2 and 3 just started AC origins and definitely enjoying it. First game in a long time where time literally flies when i play it

Not a single one. Nothing has released this year that's interested me enough to buy it outside of TMS but I've got other jrpgs to finish before playing that.

I've been catching up on my backlog so far this year. Finished Life Is Strange 2 this morning and I definitely enjoyed it.

Probably going to focus on playing more of The Division 2 once I'm done downloading the new update

Just Kentucky Route Zero so far. Been doing another run of Fire Emblem: Three Houses (Golden Deer this time) and trying to finish up Judgment. At least next month has Animal Crossing and Doom Eternal.

Just Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind.
The story scenario was pretty mediocre, but the collection of super bosses were amazing, and harder than those in FromSoft games. Really felt amazing to overcome all 14 of them.

I guess Kingdom Hearts III ReMind?

I probably won't play a new game until Doom and Animal Crossing.

Not a one. But this lull has given me the chance to beat FE: Awakening, and all three Fates games for the first time

Zero, and I have no desire to play anything released so far this year. DOOM Eternal will be the first game of interest to me, but I'll wait until it's discounted.

The Pedestrian is one of the best Puzzle Platformers I've played in a long time.
I recommend checking it out if you don't know about it...

Been playing through Dishonored 2 and having a blast. Also Mario + Rabbids which has been really fun.

And while it's not a new game for me, I decided to pick up again Cuphead and I'm enjoying it, even if it makes me rage. Just beat Grim Matchstick.

Besides that I haven't played anything new this year.

I briefly played Warcraft 3: Refunded before I well... refunded it. It's been a crap year for me so far.

honestly, absolutely nothing. I haven't had the time nor the money to buy anything. I've just been saving money and spending time studying. Pretty awful year so far
