We’re getting close to the 2nd half
of the year, aren’t we? With that, the big game releases are inching closer. From
Marvel’s Wolverine to Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave and all the
games that haven’t been revealed yet. I don’t think we’ll get too many
surprises for 2026 though. GTA6 is supposed to release in November and
we always knew that games would be pushed back because of that blackhole of an
entertainment product. Microsoft admitted as much when they announced Fable
got pushed back. If I put on a tin foil hat, I also think that’s why The
Witcher 3: Songs of the Past is a 2027 release. They could get it finished
this year but that would put it too close to GTA6 for CD Projekt Red’s
comfort.
That’s fine
by me actually. I have quite the backlog build up right now, from old classics
such A Link to the Past to 2025 releases such as Metroid Prime 4
and Octopath Traveller 0. Games I intend to pick up and play in the coming
weeks and months.
Well, while
I’m not working on that 100% playthrough of Horizon Forbidden West that
is. Now that it’s clear that Horizon Hunters Gathering pushed back the
third and final chapter of Aloy’s story that will have to scratch that Horizon
itch for the time being. I’ve been playing it for a week now and I’m already
reminded of why this is my favourite Sony IP. It really captures that ‘chill
and relax’ vibes for me when I play it… and that on the hard difficulty. Weird
to think that once upon a time I didn’t touch side-quests because I found them
to be too hard. I digress though. That’s something for that ‘Horizon Forbidden
West: Complete Edition - Review’ that I might do once I’m done with this
completionist replay.
Before all
of those games reviews will make their way to this blog, I have the reviews for
Tomb Raider 2 and Pokémon Black & White for you to enjoy. The
former is one I promised you all nearly a year ago so it’s about time I made
good on that. I also still have that update to my Shantae Ranking ready
to go which I want to publish soon. I kept it on the shelves to fill any
potential release gaps but since that hasn’t happened yet, the time I kept it
back has become comically long. It’s time, is what I’m saying.
In terms of
readership, let’s touch on that subject this month for I have a worthy update.
Thanks to the 2nd season of Netflix’ Devil May Cry series and
a few days that saw some older posts get a boost for some reason or another, including
a 5-year-old article from when the PS5 had just launched, this is my second-best
month ever. Even if I didn’t have that peak, based on the average readership,
this month would’ve continued that upward trajectory regardless. This writing space
is very much as hobby and I pick what to play and review pretty much for my own
enjoyment and not what is hot at the moment, it’s why my growth has been so
slow, but it’s exactly for that reason why I am so proud with the readership
that I do have.
I’m happy to have you all give my little writing space the time of day and for that, I am very grateful!
Your Writer,
F.T. Wolf

ReplyDeleteThank you! As you´ve read, I´ve been toying with more movie content. Starting with video game movies is a good way to expand my niche without alienating my gaming focused readers.
DeleteThank you for the Avatar Game Review! Started picking it up after years and found the review quite representative of the game! Keep going!
ReplyDeleteThank you but could you tell me about which Avatar game you are talking about? I reviewed more than one after all.
