Hidden Door and Mariachi Legends look really cool. I feel like this isn't a show that'll blow you away. This is where fun indies are announced, and once they release, the real good ones will shine, because it's hard to sell people with just trailers for indie games.

Yawn...maybe I'll wait for the next Nintendo Direct, or PlayStation show; at least then there might be things I can get excited for. Even if I don't have a PS5 (or plan on getting one), I can still "get hyped" for familiar franchises and potential later Steam ports.

:/ this is not the best year on gaming industry
Between RE4R, Street Fighter 6, Baldur's Gate 3, and Armored Core 6 alone I have to disagree. Remnant 2 and Sea of Stars also worth a mention, and none of these are even the big console exclusives like TOTK and Spidey 2.

God the pc show really stinks every year.
Yeah it's always the leftovers from the other shows because we know everything comes to PC eventually, if not at launch. Like three or four worthwhile titles here though, and pricing is sure to be reasonable.

Those games do nothing for me.
GOTY (of the decade, really) for me is Octopath 2, so far, but I have yet to play a few contenders.

I mean if you liked Octopath 2, Sea of Stars should be right up your alley. Even has Chrono Trigger's composer doing the music.
