Keeping track of all the latest video games coming out is an increasingly complex task, what with multiple PC storefronts, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, mobile, and more to keep track of, but don’t worry, I’m here to help. Every month I'll be running down the games you need to be keeping an eye on, from the big triple-A headliners, to the intriguing indies you might overlook.
Well… apologies to your wallet in advance as October is almost upon and it’s one of the biggest ones in years. Major blockbusters like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder are being backed up by almost equally-exciting titles like Alan Wake 2, Forza Motorsport, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and Lords of the Fallen, just to name a few. And indies aren’t sitting out the month either, with promising titles like Wargroove 2 and Ghostrunner 2 on the way.
Note: While I may have played demos or got early access to some of the games recommended in this article, in most cases I’m simply choosing games that look promising, and can’t vouch for the end product. Do wait for reviews before buying!
