Schedule & Updates

October 2025

The place to read up on all the stuff I plan on writing this month and what I´m cooking up for the near future in general. As always, the schedule I talk about here is subject to change. Stuff might take longer or things may happen in the gaming space that might take priority. 

Man, the end of this year sure is stuffed with game uh! Hollow Knight: Silksong and Hades II are two high profile indie releases that have people talking but for me the real buffet is just about to start. Across both 1^st and 3^rd party studios I count a whopping 5 games coming out in these last 3 months that I want to play.

On the PlayStation side with Ghost of Yōtei dropping the 2^nd of October. As many have read, I wasn’t particularly impressed with Ghost of Tsushima but I still enjoyed quite a bit. Even more importantly, Ghost of Yōtei has been hitting the right note for me. Its anthology approach and Sucker Punch not going bigger with its open world but denser in things to do, just to name two. So, while its sequel is a game I don’t plan on buying day one it is a game I do want to grab before the year is out.

Also coming on the 2^nd is a game I have already pre-ordered: Super Mario Galaxy 2 for the Switch. I own the game but never got to actually play it with my Nintendo Wii on death’s door. I can now and I don’t want to wait on that opportunity.

Two weeks later the big one hits: Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Ah, Pokémon my big gaming love. I’m chomping at the bit to play the ‘sequel’ to the best Pokémon game the Switch has. Together with the lovely Chikorita, of course!

December has the last two games of the year: Metroid Prime 4 Beyond and Octopath Traveller 0. Both still have their question marks (will Beyond be to open? 0 be too long?) but just like Ghost of Yōtei I know I will buy them. Perhaps not day one, but I will buy them.

And with that, you more or less also know what I’ll be working on for the rest of the year! Well, after the currently done Storyteller, Fire Emblem: Cindered Shadows and God of War III are out. Two birds with one stone, anyone? 

With that out of the way I want to write up a little update on something else: my 100% run of Horizon Zero Dawn remastered. With the base game itself I’m as good as done. I got 99% and as a bonus all but two trophies. Still, I’m going to wait a while to actually finish it all off. Knowing the ending of Zero Dawn it will serve as the perfect conclusion to not just the base game but The Frozen Wilds expansion as well.

After all that is done, I do intend to update my review a bit. I’m against completely rewriting old reviews but writing a new paragraph or two is fair game in this case I feel. I did allude to that possibility after all.

Last, that Tomb Raider follow up is also still in the cards. With my review of the 1st Tomb Raider game, the start of a series of classic Tomb Raider reviews has started. I have the I-III remastered collection all nice and physical on my shelf with the IV-VI remastered collection on pre-order. It’s my goal to play and review these at a nice little pace. That pace has slowed because of the plethora of games the end of the year is stacked with, from Pokémon Legends: Z-A to Metroid Prime 4 Beyond, but I will still play the Tomb Raider games. 

Well, that’s all, folks! As always, thank you all for your continued support. All the stuff I talked about here, my pride in the good readership and me wanting to do more gaming-related media content wouldn't be possible without you. From the bottom of my heart. 

Thank you all for reading!
