Anything people are particularly looking forward to?

Age of Wonders: Planetfall, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Project Judge and Biomutant are probably my stand-outs.

I've got a few I'm keeping an eye on: The Outer Worlds, Anno 1800 could be fun, my daughter is desperate to see me play Untitled Goose Game, Phoenix Point looks like it could be fantastic, Desperados 3 done by the Shadow Tactics devs could be great.

I'm not expecting Cyberpunk 2077 this year, but if it does somehow come out obviously that would top my most wanted list.

There really aren't many on that top 50 list that I'm excited for, in fact there're only two. Doom Eternal will probably be good given the strengths of the previous game ought to be easily transferred to a sequel. Then there's Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries, the first proper single-player (with co-op) Mechwarrior game since 2002. I just didn't trust PGI, the developer, to make a big budget title that the series deserves, as their work on Mechwarrior Online has been really lacklustre with little more than monetised mech packs as content (and pretty much everything I like about the game came from earlier titles).

The Star Wars title could be good; the franchise has needed someone other than EA to actually produce a finished product for years. Everything other than EA's titles seems to have been cancelled, and they've not exactly been publishing gold have they.

Couple of big titles this year but primarily indies that I'm looking forward to.

From the PCGamer list I've picked out; Blazing Chrome, GTFO, Katana Zero, Sekiro Shadows Die Twice, Dying Light 2, Phoenix Point, Witchbrook and Code Vein.

Metro and Cyberpunk for me, also interested in the Warcraft 3 remaster.

U-Boat !

In addition to the links Dj posted, just saw this go up on PCG - RPGs of 2019 preview.

I'd forgotten about Disco Elysium (didn't see it listed in their big catch-all article)... that one sounds quite interesting and is another I've got an eye on.

Another list, not had a look yet but probably duplicates a fair few from the previous lists posted.

I'd forgotten Trials Rising, the first Trials game for the Switch which is an ideal platform for it, which I suspect I'll be picking up pending a confirmed lack of Ubisoft bullshittery.
