[@neronian_studios]

Thanks for including Middle Ages: Peasants & Knights in your list! 🔥 Absolutely made our day to see our game featured here. Looking forward to sharing more exciting updates with everyone!

[@rezyl7]

i had not heard of your game until this video look forward to seeing more on it!

[@boaconstrictor5431]

Tem, you're my man for following and researching games like this. Top 3 for me would be... 1. Light No Fire 2. STALKER 2 3. Towers of Aghasba

[@MarEvayave]

Intrigued to see more, but disappointed that Subnautica 2 hasn't made the list yet. :)

[@pjotrpottervogel1990]

pretty courious with what frank lloyd temrekino will come up in those new building games ^^ greetings from vienna, austria

[@TheMissing8]

I love the idea of Terminator survivors and that there is a terminator in the world constantly tracking you down. Terminator 1 gave me nightmares when I was a little kid. This concept sounds very cool.

[@GamingAfter50]

Rooted and Stalker are intriguing. Thanks for this look at some games I didn't even know were in the works!

[@CynicalScythe797]

1. Light no fire 2. Rooted 3. Middle ages: peseants and knights. Cannot wait for those three.

[@kainnex1187]

Personally looking forward to Light No Fire and Rooted, also your GF has excellent taste of media, Studio Ghibli is an absolute gem. I highly recommend Howl's Moving Castle!

[@JimmyBonez]

My favorite was Princess Mononoke.

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

I'll ask and see if she's watched it! If not, looks like we have a date night idea 😁

[@CreedDiskens13]

Thanks for the video! Here's my "looking forward list" 1) Dune 2) Light no Fire 3) Terminator: Survivors

[@janhejkal2319]

Middle Ages: Peasants and Knights looks like a breakthrough survival game!

[@NotTheGuyYerLookinFor]

Top 3 for me would be Light No Fire, Dune Awakening, and StarRupture (although Towers of Aghasba is a super close 4th).

@@GunsNerdsandSteel No worries at all, smashing video (as always) aside from the minor blip. 😊👍🏻

[@Mazilescu_Elian]

Light no Fire got my interest from the last year , and I am really excited about his releasing , also , Enshrouded is a very cool survival game , I already played it and recomend 100% , check it out.

[@UchihaPercy]

As someone that's currently playing No Mans Sky - but on the Switch -, Light No Fire should be good as the Devs are constantly learning the good and the bad from No Mans Sky and its stellar community.

[@darenabryant9100]

Light No Fire is at the very top of my list of games I'm waiting for, but that Towers of Aghasba now also has my interest. Thanks for showing these to to me.

[@syphon583]

Gotta say, out of all of these games, The Alters looks the most interesting to me. Thanks for bringing this potential gem to our attention! Will definitely be looking for it next year! Rooted looks pretty good as well. Both those are right down my alley.

[@cork1576]

These kinds of list videos are great and get me very excited to try out these games! I'd love to see videos that follow up with review compilations for the games you list in these to see how they lived up to the hype by release and where they are going with development.

[@Sowwii.]

Thanks for the great video, very well done! Looking forward to more of these. My favorite upcoming games: Light No Fire, Dune: Awakening and The Alters

[@TheJscot69]

Stalker 2, I am hoping lives up to the hype because I really liked Stalker the original.

[@CrabClownJimmy]

Renown and Towers and Agashba! Great picks on this one!

[@scottsessions7783]

Light No Fire, Rooted and Towers Aghasba look like ones I’m most excited about.

[@OffshoreITguy]

Ah, Funcom, so Dune Awakening will eventually cost me like $500.

[@lrinfi]

With a "marketplace" for players to sell their "unique base designs"...made of modular components that will fit together in a finite combination of ways...to each other to boot. Oh, boy! Obviously, a great many players are perfectly willing to help such companies exploit the gaming community of which they are part -- the inevitable result of a worldview that sees human beings and all other lifeforms as "resources," I suppose. smh

[@KyleSage35]

As always I'm SUPER happy to hear a game is being delayed because the devs actually care about delivering a better experience and more polished product. A great game on launch almost always sounds better to me then just rushing to push another game full of jank.

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

Totally agree! A polished game is always better.

[@stevedixon921]

"It just works." should be the actual objective, not the exception. I blame the marketing team (and related bureaucrats). I'd rather wait and have a good experience on day one, thank you very much. I've curbed my buying habits for early access and new release until I understand what condition the product is in. 'We'll fix later, trust us bro' on day one? I'll wait.

[@lrinfi]

"The devs," i.e. the artists and programmers actually performing the work on a game, no doubt take pride in their craft and normally care. It's game studios' funders and handlers that can't care to do anything other than meet those quarterly profit projections because that's their job. CD Projekt Red's developers told the "higher ups" Cyberpunk 2077 required at least *two more years* in the oven before it would be ready for release. *Two more years.* Did the "higher ups" listen? Obviously not. Yet, gamers everywhere blamed the shorthand "devs" for the dumpster fire it was on release. Maybe we should hone our discernment and critical thinking skills and be more specific if we wish to target our criticism effectively.

[@binzerfly263]

The upcoming survival game I really want to play is Subnautica 2, but from your list Light No Fire, StarRupture, Towers of Aghasba and Rooted all look interesting.

[@jogould1045]

Dune; Light No Fire; Towers of Aghasba

[@marktvcturner2448]

Rooted, Light no Fire and Stalker 2 for sure. Thanks for the video.

[@allegedlytrouble]

the top 3 so far are for sure ones i wanna see YOU play. I also like some of the other ones and I hope you will give them a try at least. Like Cohh says, "the good ole college try". Your great at what your doing, thanks for the entertainment

[@kalsaari4670]

I'm a huge fan of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. GAMMA experience, so Stalker2 is my #1 wishlist currently.

[@noobko1752]

Same!

[@bearnaff9387]

I feel kinda bad for not caring for/about it - I'm expecting that it's going to be terrific for fans.

[@ponderingmindz]

I am so looking forward to Rooted. That's the one I have been watching closely. Great video GNS!

[@bearnaff9387]

The only thing I don't like about these "long after the fall" stories is that they seem to think that the artifacts of civilization degrade a lot more slowly than they really do. Evidence of civilization will be obvious everywhere for a long time, from centuries for building foundations, to literal millions of years for the Hoover Dam & other great dams (not saying the dam will last, but it will be obviously unnatural for a _very_ very long time. But individual things? That actually work? Electronics being used by anyone who's not a trained archivist will probably fail beyond the ability to repair within 30-40 years. Solar cells will be almost useless after that long as well. Generators will not run without fresh fuel (gas goes bad within a year) and lubricating oil. Cheaply-made _books_ will fall apart if not archived within 50 to 60 years, and almost all of the clothing will be worn to shreds within a decade or two. The Last of Us, Rooted, and the Bethesda Fallout Games are all really unrealistic about having still functional tech from before the war/fall/pandemic.

[@lrinfi]

@@bearnaff9387 Not everyone requires abject "realism" in their dystopian _fiction_ I personally prefer to see some disintegration and overgrowth myself, but BGS and others have received a great deal of criticism for things like NPCs living in broken down buildings littered with trash and debris when chances are good they'd have heard of at least a broom and want some order and cleanliness in their living envrioments as they have in Fallout: New Vegas -- you know, to give and get a sense humans are actually trying to rebuild their lives and communities rather than go hog wild. I say save that degradation stuff for ambiance. It's a game, not a simulation, though many players do appear to be clamoring more for virtual simulations than they are _games_ these days.

[@2modd4]

I was a big follower of your 7DTD content but stopped playing the game and lost interest on content for it. I'm very pleased to hear your voice again and it's a great list you presented. My favs are rooted, towers of Aghasba and maybe light no fire. I'm looking forward to something new with survival/build/explore but is not close to survival-games like scum/rust/dayz or enshrouded/7dtd-style games.

[@Varmint260]

Rooted looks appealing, as does Aghasba, and of course I'm excited to see how Stalker 2 shakes out on release. Currently I'm learning my way through Nightingale and the 7DTD Rebirth mod, so by the time I move on from those, looks like I'll have lots to take a look at!

[@leenomedal-lafon5994]

Light no Fire, Stalker 2, and Towers of Aghasba are my three choices.. These games look really good, and definitively something I would like to play...

[@Zenpathway-c5i]

middle ages looking good

[@MrShiQz]

I'm very hyped for Stalker 2, have it for over 3 Years on my Steam wishlist now and soon i'm able to play, very much looking forward to it !

[@xiricada7121]

The Alters seems a super nice concept. I saw some demos and was interested…

[@florynhollander7766]

My top 3: 1. Towers of Aghasba 2. Light No Fire 3. The Alters

[@dawningark]

Digging Rooted, and the one from Creepy Jar. They did such a good job with Green Hell.

[@jenyl7495]

Alters looks like a fun new idea to a game.

[@eMavern_Emporium]

In no particular order, Rooted, Stalker 2 and Towers of Aghasba but to be honest they all look siiiick

[@TheSpiceLord]

I’m an observer vs gamer now unfortunately (Mac user for music) but hopefully you’ll be able to do a long term series on one of these games. They all look ridiculously promising.

[@Ninsidhe]

Light No Fire looks *epic*, I haven’t finished watching yet but just had to say that ❤ edit 1- Alters? A game made for individuals like me with DID? Awesome!! I’m going to look into that one just to see if actually being a multiple personality makes playing the game easier 😂 Edit 2- The Towers of Aghasba is now at the top of my list, I LOVE ecosystem building, culture making, world nurturing and exotic life forms ❤❤

[@RikumiSpace]

Light No Fire looks very similar to Valheim's style and I'm intrigued to see how the procedurally generated worlds are gonna be!

[@davidgillon2762]

Rooted seems slap-bang in my interest area, Alters seems to have some interesting ideas, looks like it may be borrowing slightly from XCom's base-building element, as a third choice I'm drawn to both Light No Fire and Towers of Aghasba, with Towers possibly shading it for cuteness.

[@PANDAXD001]

Never. Ever. Let anyone. ANYONE. Make you feel bad for minding Ghibli movies or knowing them. Pieces of artwork

[@missy-tk]

My three: Rooted (which I didn’t know about); Light No Fire (NMS obsessive) and Terminator

[@Shadowtrap-rm9qj]

my top 3, star rupture, the alters, tower of aghasba

[@josephgoettsch9369]

Rooted, Stalker 2, and Terminator are what I’m looking forward to the most. And light no fire just cause of the ambition behind it.

[@pantango5503]

I liked Star Rupture, Light no fire and Terminator the most, but Stalker 2 and Rooted also looks good.

[@Gogohobbytv]

Thanks for the list.

[@goodman7097]

Anarchy Online was my first MMO. I don't trust Funcom at all. Stalker 2 will be interesting, but on this list, StarRupture and the Terminator one looked cool. I'm glad the survival game market seems healthy.

[@saa_shady780]

I've been following Rooted for a couple years as well as Derelicts i feel those games will be huge i can't wait for the release

[@corneliusblackwood9014]

I just want another Rust. Still the best (modern) video game I’ve ever played. Space Rust, Fantasy Rust, whatever I’d take it. Open world, heavy reliance on bases, PvP resource game.

[@AimSmallFragHigh]

From your list, Terminator Survivors, StarRupture, and The Alters. But I'm also interested in Across the Wonderlands, Permafrost, and Aloft.

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

I had to look up Across the Wonderlands, it looks interesting! Permafrost is definitely on my radar though and I'm covering it on my next top 10 list 😁

[@Md936S]

My top three would be: StarRupture Chernobyl 2 Towers of Aghasba

[@Lo.0se]

Renown looks like it still needs a lot of work, but if they pull it off it should be loads of fun, the devs just need to be honest with the community and there should be no disappointments.

[@bearnaff9387]

I did not immediately dislike most of these games, but we were all the way Alters before I responded with something that wasn't a "Harrumph". Towers of Aghasba's Ghibli influence is definitely something you can see after it's pointed out - but my first thought was Breath of the Wild, which itself had strong Ghibli influence, so there you go. One Ghibli film whose influence is obvious is Miyazaki's Nausica: the Valley of the Wind. The wing designs on the animals, with the Moebius-like curvature are pretty distinct. It could be good.

[@goidfiog]

I loved Conan Exiles so I'm looking forward to Dune: Awakening.

[@shaneedwards596]

think out of that list I'm definitely looking forward to Terminator: Survivors, Alters and Rooted..... with StarRupture being something I never knew about but is now on the list....

[@Anew522]

Towers of Aghasba may not be perfect for me so that'd be 3rd. Dune and Light no fire are 1st and 2nd respectively, but Terminator will take Light no fire's spot if it ends up being really well done and interesting.

[@sonnyjimm23]

Star Rapture looks really cool!

[@Get_em_kayla21]

They should always let show the characters eat, sleep, use the bathroom, and use household items as well. It keeps the immersion.

[@corneliusblackwood9014]

Just admit it, you like to watch women shit on the other while stuffing cooking utensils inside of each other.

[@pamme777]

Interested in anything multi-player or mmo survival crafting boss fights. Really enjoying Once Human rn.

[@rezyl7]

my top 3 would be light no fire, stalker 2, and terminator survivors

[@QueenbeePlayer]

Im really excited for StarRupture - Green Hell is an amazing game so coming from Creepy Jar I have high hopes!!

[@philbaba9993]

Rooted , stalker 2 and dune in that order for me 😁

[@meshie5958]

I'm personally excited to see towers of Aghasba and Rooted

[@malguskerensky]

Been keeping an eye on Dune Awakening for a bit now.

[@Mr_NW9]

I don't know how close or far away the game is, but State of Decay 3 is definitely on my top 3 upcoming games!

[@codyray6069]

I've been following dune for a few months now and I'm pretty excited although all my friends hate on it without any real reason for it 😅

[@bannankev]

Stalker are some great games

[@Monkeypuzzle]

I was super interested in Dune until they made it pretty clear that it's going to be mandatory guild based pvp. Oh well.

[@gustavolora9713]

Rooted for me ❤

[@Janzer_]

Rooted, throw in The Division as a reference it's pulling from.

[@BorgWolf359]

NMS 16/16/16 - 15, 14, 13 ... 3, 2, 1 => reborn in Light No Fire!

[@TrueJerichoIV]

Light no fire, Towers of Aghasba, and Middle Ages I’m definitely keen on watching. Stalker 2 will be good for the hype but the story is also deep think it’d fit the channel. 🫡

[@SliceyMcHackHack]

Rooted gives me "The Division" Vibes

[@michelklepsattel5861]

In Order: 1. Stalker 2 2. Subnautica 2 3. StarRupture Outside of those i'm interested in Light no Fire, Towers of Aghasba, Dune (very low expectations because ... it's Funcom, but i like the setting), Rooted and Terminator sound ok as well. However i'm more on the "wait an see what they deliver" for everything besides Stalker 2 and Subnautica 2.

[@davidwells5611]

I noticed nobody in the comments seems to be exited for the medieval simulators. I can't blame them. I don't see much appeal in being a peasant farmer. I like a bit of genre in my games. At least stick a magic system or some other fantastical system in there. While I can see them appealing to a very specific slice of gamer, I don't think they will be very big hits. FWiW, I have been dying to get my hands on STALKER 2 for a VERY long time.

[@florinkin1993]

Gaming studios learning from past mistakes , what a nice dream .

[@lrinfi]

The studios are doing precisely what their publicly traded owners and handlers (EA, Ubisoft, ZeniMax, MS Xbox, Sony Playstation, etc.) are telling them to do, especially in the triple A space: manufacturing products and services for owners and investors. That's why the vast majority of them are bland and lifeless these days. They're built to suit and serve Wall Street and various other global stock market algorithms. We don't have to worry about AI taking over the world. We're going to willingly hand it over.

[@MiriQLMovies]

stalker 2 by far most anticipated, because since call of pripyat there hasn't been a good stalker game

[@John-eh6jg]

Hahaha 15:30 . you say " you work with the wildlife " . 10 seconds later you head shot an animal 😂... just messing with ya . Great video thanks for pointing out these games that are right in my open world/rpg/base building wheelhouse

[@thegutlessleadingthecluele7810]

Rooted could be a good game. However, from what I've read about it, it could take longer than 2025 to be released. If the game ends up being good, I'm happy to wait a little longer.

[@iv4nx3]

how likely is it to happens, that you do a series of no man's sky? i'd love to see one.

[@joeb5316]

There's another Dune game on Xbox that I played recently, but Funcom's looks much better. Conan Exiles is a good game so I have high hopes.

[@luisjdavis]

Light no Fire, Dune.

[@Sepukku616]

The Parasites, demo on Steam. I belive it's being developed by one person. Super excited for Rooted. Scum, game has come along way. I have around 800 hours, basically in solo mode.

[@MrDragonBomber]

Real question which of these ones will be a GNS playthrought worthy first

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

Stalker 2 and Towers of Aghasba are coming out first so I'll be following them closely upon release 🤔

[@noobko1752]

Stalker 2 🔥

[@pablojack7521]

I hope the publisher of Light No Fire will not follow the same path of game development No man Sky: Make game->Update game->Ignore feedback and 0 fixing bugs.

[@BobJones-cd9mt]

Amped for Rooted. Better be global server thou, if not that will be a huge mistake.

[@BanaGhoo]

Dune: awakening - I swear every new players nickname will be tried as Lisan Al Gaiib :D

[@SurrealNirvana]

Absolutely now way Light No Fire releases this year. Maybe late 2025, but probably 2026.

[@Erumyr]

DUNE awakening is a MMO.

[@missy-tk]

Game delayed due to… IRL warzone. Intense!

[@KA-gd1lg]

None of these look super appealing, but I am hopeful for them anyway

[@MrTarikBedevi]

Where have you been all week?!

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

Working on this video and the next two to follow.... My purpose in life is not to grind out letsplay videos 😅

[@MrTarikBedevi]

@ hahaha fair enough. Your content was missed this week

[@panagiotisgalinos]

Where did you get the information about the release date of 'Light No Fire' in 2024? This is completely wrong; the earliest release date is Q4 2025, with it almost certain to be delayed to Q1 2026.

[@pApA0LeGBa]

It´s such a disappointment that DUNE is a MMO. I hate playing with strangers and seeing what they did with Conan i can only imagine the worst regarding microtransactions. Can´t wait for Light no Fire, if they learned just a bit from No Mans Sky this is gonna be a banger.

[@methodsocratic]

Just once, in this world where shitty, half-assed titles are excused as “early access,” supposed AAA studios release unfinished work requiring patch after patch (imagine a restaurant bringing you half-cooked food for the highest costs then the waiter saying Oh yah, we’ll finish cooking that later…maybe…enjoy!) Just once, I’d love to see a studio set a release date, then release a completely finished project early. I’d say “this shit is getting old,” But it’s been fucking old for a while now.

[@lrinfi]

Heads up. I see some games on this list shot through with the industry's self-delusional, transhumanist tripe about a gaming "metaverse," the mere mention of "MMO" or "experiment" today being the red flags I personally look for and a hard pass from me, this being the reason: “What we're seeing is a... trend where players are gravitating toward the really big games where they can play with more of their friends.” -- Tim Sweeney, Epic CEO Actually, that's just what CEOs want to try and make happen so companies like EA can fleece all game players everywhere with their in-game casinos/stores following onto trends in social media. Just ask BGS, Bioware and Arkane how well that's worked out for them. (Fallout 76, Anthem, Redfall, etc.) CEOs are completely out of touch with what players actually want, "wrongly predicting the death of...single player games" ['Fortnite isn't the future, it's an anomaly' via PCGamer], ntm outright dismissing player requests for single player w/co-op as ZeniMax/Bethesda did with Fallout 76. That's why the "live service" financial bubble burst affecting both developers (massive layoffs and studio closures) and players alike. STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl all the way.
