Games I'm Excited For [pt.2]

A few more games to look forward to as the year quickly comes to a close, or at least that's how it feels. Hell, we're almost to the end of October, the year is basically done. And still, many different kinds of games coming out that could potentially be mind bogglingly good. Or maybe not. We'll see.

Sonic Frontiers
Developed by: Sonic Team
I'm no stranger to Sonic games as far as what people think about them, however I don't honestly remember the last time I actually put some real time into the Sonic games. Most of that definitely has to do with the fact that Sonic games in general typically don't do that well as far as what the developers delivered on and what the community thinks of it. Usually it's seen as a sort of joke when a Sonic game comes out, but based on what I've seen from trailers and the like, this looks like a sort of shift from the usual Sonic formula, however it does look like it's going towards another popular formula of bringing this franchise to an open world setting. That doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be bad, but I think a lot of people may not give it a fair shake solely based on that fact alone. But, like I said, i'm in it for the fun. I don't think it will be groundbreaking for the Sonic series, and honestly I just want it to be good. Give Sonic some form of redemption.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands
Developed by: Gearbox Software
As much as I would like to say that I enjoy Borderlands 3 as much as I enjoyed the previous two, I would be lying. Yes, Borderlands 3 has a lot of great stuff going for it, but it didn't feel like anything new or exciting, rather it felt like just a slightly improved version of Borderlands 2. Not the worst thing, surely. So, here comes Tiny Tina's Wonderlands ready to change all that. Initially this game was released back in March, so I haven't really been in a hurry to check it out, but it's on my list. The unfortunate thing about it, and i'm my own worst critic, is that I've allowed reviews to sort of keep me from dumping money on it. However, I think that will change once I've given some other games a good amount of time as I'm itching for something like Borderlands that isn't Borderlands as I feel I have played plenty of Borderlands to where I feel satisfied with it as a whole. So, we'll see. This game could potentially be good, but I won't know until I try.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
Developed by: Ubisoft
I haven't even touch a Mario + Rabbids game and I already know that I'm excited to play this one. I remember wanting to play the previous one many many times but never found the time to get into it. And what sounds better than mixing Mario, Rabbids, and tactical strategy? Not many things. I don't know a whole lot about this series so I'll be excited to check this one out and of course the one that came prior.
