well firstperson Shooters aren't really my cup of tea I must say the Charming 1930s cartoony look of mouse makes it really hard for me to not get excited about this game my problem with FPS games is that they start to feel really repetitive after a while because the game play doesn't have enough variety but hopefully Mouse will manage to keep the game play freshh and exciting with all these different weapons and locations and the overall presentation I would love to see a Metro Vania in this car
toony style but then in a 2d setting so hopefully games like cuphead and mouse will inspire other developers to make more games like this in the [Music] future from a game without any colors we go to a game that has colors in Spades and that game is 30 Birds a narrative puzzle game that plays a lot with different layers and perspective inspired by Persian art I really love the imaginative visuals and even though I'm not quite sure if I'm going to enjoy all these different mini games because I'm
afraid they are going to break the flow of the game a bit I can't wait to dive into this colorful world and see what challenges are awaiting me I mean just look at it Little Ghost has one of if not the most interesting visual style I have ever seen it's like a fever dream come to life but then in a positive way I have played the demo and while I think it would have been a lot more enjoyable to start with a map of the area straight away instead of collecting certain items to unlock a map eventual
ly I really liked what I have seen so far it can be pretty challenging with all these instant death obstacles or precise platform sections but I never got bored or frustrated because of the inventive art style I don't know much about KRA but what I do know is that I really like the art direction of this game it's really Charming but also mysterious at the same time and I'm also pretty sure the story is going to be emotional and memorable I can't say a lot about the game play yet but hopefully it
will have smooth and responsive controls and many creative puzzles for you to solve the animations and overall presentation look amazing as well so I have high hopes for this [Music] [Music] one doy is another game that really managed to Peak my interest with its creative presentation and interesting prep the visual style is pretty simplistic but it still has so much detail and I love how most of the background is just white but certain items and characters have different colors and this makes
them really stand out the trailer shows a lot of playful and inventive game design so I really hope it all will control well and fingers crossed it will have a great and unpredictable story as well [Music] [Music] another game where you play as a ghost is haunty a twin stick shooter adventure with a really unique art style and great looking animations it looks like this game is going to have a lot of variety in the gameplay Department like being able to haunt and possess creatures and even the e
nvironment itself to solve puzzles or to overcome certain obstacles for example the world looks really intriguing and hopefully it will be fun but also so rewarding to explore the visual style give this game so much atmosphere and now I'm really excited to embark on this real and Dark [Music] Adventure [Music] ruffy and the Riverside looks just really fun and exciting the trailer show so much energy and childlike wonder that it really just makes me happy I also really love how they play with dif
ferent perspectives and how Charming the overall presentation is ruy has the power to copy and paste textures and change the environment at will and I really hope you will have a lot of different options at your disposal otherwise I'm afraid it can start to become a bit repetitive really quickly the world looks so much fun to explore though and I'm certain it will be full of charming characters hidden secrets and many Collectibles so this action-packed adventure is going to be a delightful exper
ience yeah correct this winter oh whenever it's ready I love the Charming art style of paper clay everything is made out of clay paper cardboard and other materials and this gives the game so much personality I also really like how you are able to rotate and unfold the environment as you go along and I must say the transitions look really smooth and exciting the only thing I'm afraid of is that it's going to be a bit on the easy side but maybe its difficulty will surprise me exploring every nuk
and Granny of this world and meeting all these wholesome characters is going to be a Charming experience so this is another adventure I would like to be a part of [Music] I literally know nothing about Scarlet deer in but the fact that all characters and animals are embroidered really impressed me and it just looks absolutely stunning apparently it's going to be a narrative platformer with an emotional story set in a world inspired by Slavic f F and this sounds really intriguing to me I also lov
e how smooth and detailed the overall presentation looks so hopefully the game play will be of the same quality this trailer and art Direction shows so much passion already and I really wish the developers nothing but love with the rest of the development process [Music] [Music] welcome to the land of Mojo the Plucky Squire was on my most anticipated games of 2023 list but it sadly got delayed and didn't come out that year nevertheless I'm still so excited for this game because it shows so much
imaginative and playful game design I'm convinced this game is going to be a Bloss from start to finish and I still think it's not going to be very difficult but I honestly don't really care because everything about it looks amazing I got nothing but praise for this game so hopefully it will come out this year because I can't wait any longer to jump between 2D and 3D environments and become the hero of this charming Adventure thanks for watching

@slipstream7324

stay precious Joy

@Sandboxcode

Yeah the Plucky Squire looks really dope

@soulsborneseeker

Hauntii, Koira and The Plucky Squire will hopefully live up to their potential! As for Mouse, I've been following it since the start of its announcement due to my obsession with twisting recognizable characters to something new and, usually, violent, so I'll definitely be playing it though I do believe the uniqueness of its art-style that reminds of Steamboat Willie will most likely lose its novelty fast unless they do some interesting things with gameplay :/ As for The Scarlet Deer Inn, probably one of the most impressive approaches I've seen to art! I'm keeping an eye out on it!

@d00mnoodle24

I'll only talk about the titles that piqued my interest, even though they all have a unique visual style. Koira looks amazing in every sense of the word. It's also made by some of my favorite developers dontnod who made the amazing life is strange, a game that's very close to my heart as it helped me discover myself. It's a very progressive studio in terms of representation, they did queer stuff waaay before anyone else did because it wasn't popular then. They did it because they saw that the world needed it, not for popularity. Anyways i digress,i instantly wishlisted as soon as i saw dontnod appear haha! Haunti is beautiful, truly unique... But it's a twin stick shooter, so i'll have to wait and see. I'll keep an eye on it though! Scarlet deer inn is visually unique. It has a very authentic art style that if accompanied by some Scandinavian folk music could be very memorable. Wishlisted
