If you let Falcon do this list he would've put Crimson Desert at 10 just because.

At first I was like what the fuck are you on about "first half of the year".......... Then I was horrified
Remember, if you don’t have high expectations, you’ll never be disappointed in anything…
Samson still has the best hair effects I've ever seen though 😂
At least Code Violet gets to be #1 at something
Samson looks like they spent all their time on hair physics. Perhaps fittingly
The Cthulu game make me realize how badly I want an Eternal Darkness remake.
I am hopeful for Code Vein 2 and Samson. Let's hope that a year down the line it'll be polished and fun.
And welcome back, Gameranx!
We need a Mad Max remake
It is crazy that we're halfway through the year
What I find most disappointing is; the amount of time, effort, money and talent put in only to fail.
Banishers ghosts of new Eden is one of the most underrated overlooked games of all time.
Jake clearly kept Falcon from putting Crimson Desert on the list.
Oh man I had forgotten about code violet. Calling it a game is insulting to the artform.
First half? We're already halfway through 2026??
1:15 the studio was founded by people that worked previously in renowed studios. In accounting?
