Is Crimson Desert going to be a compelling world to explore or a repetitive and janky hackfest? Have you been waiting to use your PC to hit the beach in Kojima’s Death Stranding: On the Beach? Will a relatively retro graphics engine bring the Starship Troopers universe and its swarms of flesh-rending bugs to teeming life? Is a Thomas and Friends game from the developer of Train Sim a potentially brilliant idea? Is the annual iteration of MLB The Show ready to play ball? Is Dragonkin: The Banished ready to compete with Grim Dawn, Path of Exile, and Diablo?
