This hasn’t been a very good year for video games for me. Not a lot has come out. And I also made a promise to myself that I wasn’t going to spend a lot of money on games this year. A lot is coming out next year and I can’t wait! Until then, I wanted to share some videos that came out recently showing off the games I am interested in this year.

First up is a quaint little launch trailer for Star Wars: Outlaws. I bought the game on Friday and have been enjoying it so far. It’s not as smooth or as polished as I would have liked, but I was looking for a new open world RPG to play and Outlaws is working for me.

Anyone who wants to play this game but hasn’t bought it yet, I’d definitely recommending waiting a month or two until it goes on steep sale, like most Ubisoft games. I’m enjoying it, but there’s no need to rush into this one.

The next video is for the triumphant return of the Commandos game series! Did anyone else play these games when they were younger? I loved Commandos, and sometime this year we’re getting Commandos: Origins!

At least I hope it comes out this year. I don’t see a release date anywhere. And I hope my aging PC can handle it. Would feel weird to play on console. But I loved these games, and this gameplay trailer looks exactly like those old classics! I don’t need a new update or anything flashy, just gimme more maps and more Nazi punching!

Lastly is the one other game I’m super looking forward to: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2! And this is a full-on 25-minute-long gameplay video.

The first Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a doozy of a game that I never actually finished! So I’m very much looking forward to playing this one completely and for real, to dive into all the medieval combat and storytelling and fun stuff! And it comes out…oh wait, in February! I think they moved the release date back. Oh well. Still a good game to start building hype for.

And those are the three video games that are currently on my radar. All to help me kill time until Grand Theft Auto VI.
