As for this week's other titles, we can look forward to managing some kind of sports teams, crafting robots, erasing names, messing around in dungeons and finally some old school action.

SFH looks like nice spiritual successor to Broforce.
The name made me think Gunstar Heroes was getting a reboot at first though.
I thought only British people liked that.
Yeah, I'd choose SFH or Dungeons over drizzle all day any day lmao.
I am going to have to go and vote on these now.
I can only speak for myself, of course. :)
This year, I've been standing in the drizzle of interesting AAA games, which I haven't done in a while, that's why I'm taking a breather. :D
Not saying these are all good games, but 70% of people that voted think they're all crap? Daim!
I love games, but if I bought a new one every week, I'd be broke, not to mention the time that I don't have to play them. :laugh: :(
Not expecting anyone to buy anything though, this is simply to measure interest in whatever I post.
No-one is ever going to buy a single game out of the ones I post about, based on this weekly update, this is just to highlight some upcoming titles.
The negative polls are a bit disheartening at times though, as it's rare that more than 50% of people vote on something else than not being interested.
Don't give up hope just because some weeks aren't as interesting as others gaming-wise. Like I said, 2023 has been an awesome year already, so taking a break is no biggie. :)
now as to wheter i'll pira... i mean buy them of horse or not is another matter.
Couple interesting ones this week, that dungeons and the strikefarce.
robocraft.. ugh,.... just the other day i saw it on steam last i played it was 2015, those kind of "building block" games are definitely not for me
I do think an option along the lines of "I'm interested in one or more of these, but won't be grabbing any immediately" would get a lot of votes.
