It's almost* September, which means a lot of games are going to be releasing in the upcoming months. What are the games you're looking forward to the most for the rest of the year? Rank them hype-wise!
1. Alan Wake 2 — The game looks like it has more personality than the original game, looks incredibly tense and that's exactly what I want in October! 2. Assassin’s Creed Mirage — I'm an old school Assassin's Creed fan, but couldn't find the stomach to beat the bloated Odyssey. This looks like a step in the right direction, a step back! I want that old AC feeling back. 3. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 — The original game controlled amazing, but was also a bit repetitive. Miles Morales was already a bit better than the original game, now let's hope the sequel is way better. 4. Super Mario Bros. Wonder — Didn't really like what I saw from Wonder so far, but… I just love great platformers a lot. Gotta have to trust Nintendo on this one! 5. Lies of P — looks great, but it feels like I've been playing a lot of Soulslikes these past few years. 6. Talos Principle 2 — I love puzzle games, and I especially loved Talos Principle and its DLC, but do we need 'more' from this game? Undecided!

My watchlist of announced games is as follows: MGS Delta and MGS remasters,
