Silksong and Crowsworn are my most anticipated games this year and I'm ready to sacrifice my time on these games.

Jacob!!! as a longtime backlog pirate, i eat up videos like this one on a regular basis, but rarely have i watched one where every single game grabbed me in some way. either we have very similar taste in games, or you are doing a fantastic job of curating and highlighting these titles. maybe both :) cheers, bud!

Big fan of what was shown off here, and I’m also looking forward to streets of rogue 2! The first one was easily one of my favorite roguelikes, and I’m super excited to see that game get expanded upon. Definitely recommend for anyone who likes sandbox games!

It's nice to see you back Jacob! I really love this list, so much it's probably easier to say what I won't play 😂. Btw my most anticipated are Sea of stars and Chef RPG. But i cant wait to play gumbrella and Koa also! I did not know only The plucky squire but it looks so good, it has a JPCoovert drawing vibes

Tinykin and Astro's Playroom have reignited my love for 3D platformers, so I'm really excited for Koa and the 5 Pirates of Mara!

To be honest, most of my anticipated games you have on your list, but I am also really excited for The Siege and the Sandfox, A Sister’s Journey, Nine Sols and also COCOON which is a really cool looking puzzle adventure game

[Chepo]

Really cool list man!. The Plucky Squire and Gunbrella seems amazing. Especially the art style of Plucky, too beatiful!.
My most anticipated indie of the year, is of course, Hollow Knight: Silksong. Two and a half years waiting xD, but Team Cherry knows exactly what it is doing, and it will surely be an ambitious title. I think it's great that they take the time they need!
Another metroidvania that seems excellent is The Last Faith, a kind of 2D Bloodborne with a gloomy and wonderful pixel art setting!. And I share what you said about Sea of ​​Stars, another one that you can tell is going to make people talk.
Greetings and good life!

I can't wait for The Plucky Squire! It looks like it's going to be a lot of fun :D

[Jahi_]

super excited about the plucky squire!

[belowthestoneofficial]

I remember seeing gunbrella at PAX West!

[MeDjezze]

In addition to those here are 10 more I'm looking forward to this year:
Nine Sols
The Siege and the Sandfox
Pepper Grinder
A Sister's Journey
Nocturnal
Selfloss
Europa
Gravity Circuit
Mika and The Witch's Mountain
Mercury Abbey

TOTALLY looking forward to LUCID... that game looks absolutely amazing. A beautiful blend of Super Metroid, LoZ, Megaman X, Celeste and Hollow Knight. <3

ps. I am not biased at all...

The combat in farming games is already bad enough, but turn-based jrpg style?! I just lost all interest in Sunnyside.
