As the year comes to a close I want to know what game did you look most forward to for this year, and was it as good as you thought it would be. Additionally, what game/s are you looking for most in 2025? I can't believe we're already almost at 25 :(

I honestly no idea what came in 2024 that I was looking forward to.
but there are 2 things in 2025(I think both are intended for 2025...)
To Kill a God and <No steam Link yet> The next Nekopara installment, sure the sister is playing a part in it, but more nekos is always a good thing

This year i was just glad that ready or not has been pached so my toaster can now run it... at least until a new patch ! ^^
Next year i was waiting for kingdom come 2, but then the system requirements hey won't be before 1 or 2 more years i think.
But even if my current PC can't handle it, i think that it will be the goty 2025.

You didn't tell us, is there any game you loved this year ?

I had been looking forward to Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus which was alright. I enjoyed the art and music but the rest fell flat.
The games I really enjoyed this year were hades and cult of the lamb, both 10/10s for me.
Lastly, looking forward too Isle Goblin and when some games like Realm of Ink and Fields of Mistria get to their 1.0 releases.

I wasn't looking forward to any specific game but when I played Metaphor: Refantasio's demo, I became really pumped.
For 2025, I'm looking forward to Weappy's games: Hollywood Animal and The Eternal Life of Goldman.

Silksong 😛
Subnautica 2

I have no clue what else is in the pipe for 2025. I don't really keep up with upcoming releases. Why bother when I have 100s of other games to play?

I'm still holding out for Half-Life 3. It will come one day, I know it.

Other than that, Borderlands 4. They absolutely nailed the gunplay in BL3 in my opinion, everything from pistols to rocket launchers was so enjoyable to use, although snipers were very underpowered (I used a mod to fix that). If BL2 had the gunplay of BL3, it would be the perfect story-driven looter shooter. All they have to do for BL4 is get rid of the tik-tok humour and "villains" targeted at 10 year olds, and either introduce the hopelessness or semi-serious topics slightly hidden behind a mask of ridiculousness like in BL1 and 2.

Half Life 3.

Welp, considering all the datamines and stuff - it's pretty much real. Probably the most famous reporter on the subject - Tyler McVicker said on his streams that he spoke with people who playtested the game so there's that, and also the majority of Valve's senior developers WANT to make this game as their "magnum opus", finish this chapter and retire with clear conscience. From Tyler's speculation - the game will be announced in 2025 and released in the following year.

The reason why I wait for it is what we learned from all the datamines - so far the game sounds like a pretty good physics simulation, which actually trying to do something new and push the envelope and not just selling nostalgia like the majority of sequels do. If I would have to describe the game from datamines, it would go like this - if you see a closed wooden door and you have tools to destroy it, you should do just so and it should look logical and natural and not gimmicky and one time trick.

Looked forward to in 2024:
Palworld - Bought early access day 1
Manor Lords - Haven't bought
Life By You - Cancelled
Star Wars Outlaws - Haven't bought, will look to getting probably above 55%+ off.
Star Trucker - Haven't bought
Metaphor: ReFantazio - Preordered/bought, currently unfinished, probably about 20%-ish done. Dig the music. Mostly shelved as I focus on completing Kingdom Come: Deliverance before sequel releases early February 2025
Card-En-Ciel - Came outta nowhere to be a preorder buy. Demo good. Incredible soundtrack/music, should've been nominated for awards somewhere. Addicting gameplay.
Beastieball - First week discount purchase early access buy. Have only played demo for around 37+ hours. Bought game on the strength of the demo. Charming game, lot of heart. Haven't played early access version because again, focusing on KCD 1...

Looking forward to in 2025:
Hollywood Animal - Updated demo dropped 9-ish hours ago. Early access drops February 2025, my #1 most wanted 2025 game.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II - Probably gonna preorder. Also February 2025, that month is packed with anticipated games.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - Unsure about 2025 release, but yeah.
The Bustling World - See above
Billie Bust Up - See above

And then there's the Sims-like games, please, at least one of you, be good:
inZOI
Vivaland
Paralives

There's also a bunch of games that might make my 2025 anticipated games list but have to try demo first:
Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days
I Am Jesus Christ
