    Kill Knight might be worth a look to me, but man that trailer is exactly what's wrong with dev gameplay trailers anymore (I say "gameplay trailers" because anything that isn't gameplay is a complete waste of my time, so not showing gameplay is the other thing wrong with trailers anymore). It constantly cuts, splicing together a series of single-action moments that probably never actually occur anywhere near each other and completely misrepresent the actual flow or experience of playing the game. If you can do even a quarter of anything it showed in the same run, let alone the same level, I'd be shocked.

    I wish devs would just be honest and present playing their game like they're proud of the experience they deliver instead of a bunch of whiz-bang screenshaking nonsense that tries to look more exciting than what they're selling.

      I was debating on putting a bunch of posts or not, last time on an event I did a bunch of trailers and people were receptive to different posts because of RSS feeds and such! I think going forwards I'll make a megathread and then just vibe out the biggest releases/the ones I'm most excited for and go from there!

      For example, for this one I probably would have made this megathread and then Slay the Spire 2 as the only two posts, and back for The Game Awards I would probably have only posted the main thread and Monster Hunter Wilds.

    DinoLords is an iconic name and that trailer was some of the best bait and switch trailer design in a while. Oh yeah, Slay the Spire and Prince of Persia are cool too ig.

      I wish I enjoyed RTS games more, the game looks super interesting but I've always been garbage at them haha. The idea of a city builder turned RTS is super funny though.
