Now that I'm caught up with a slew of new releases it's time to take a look at an older title until Ghost of Tsushima hits PC on the 16th. Can't quite decide which one to start first though so figured I'd leave it to a poll. All of these are happening relatively soon, its just about which one you'll see first. As an aside I still have like 50ish games on my list of old games I'd like to review on the channel. 

Just to keep people informed for the next week since several games released all at once, I should have Eiyuden Chronicles finished this weekend. Another Crab's Treasure and Sand Land both launch today and I didn't get keys for either so you'll see impressions for those over the next couple days while I finish Eiyuden. After that I'm gonna do ACT next since it'll be the easier of those two to finish before switching over to Sand Land. If all goes well I should get caught up right as May's games start releasing. 

Hooded Horse sent me a press mailer for Manor Lords, don't think I was prepared to receive a bascinet though. It does fit, not sure I'd chance seeing if it's functional lol. 

No video today (4/3) handling some of the administrative side of things. April is looking a bit slow for game releases until the last week of the month so I'm trying to take it a bit easy after March was so packed. 300k Subs video should be up Thursday though, and the Geneforge 2 review will be up this weekend most likely. Towards the middle of the month I'll give my usual update about my next couple months worth of reviews as well! 

300k Subscribers! The channel continues to grow and at this point it has already exceeded my every expectation. The wild success of my BG3 videos led to me paying off my house. Wild that I got here largely just doing the things the way I wanted too as opposed to slapping my shocked face over every thumbnail or filling every video with an ad. This has been everything I ever wanted and more and I feel like I've got more to go yet. I'm gonna do a video kind of just talking about where I'm at and where I'd like to go from here this week but if you'd like to ask any questions feel free to drop them here so I can aggregate and answer them! (They'll be answered in the Q/A portion of the video in a couple days)

I didn't do much gaming this weekend, did yard work and spent Easter with my son of course. Back to it tomorrow though focusing on Geneforge 2 then Broken Roads before knocking out Morrowind! 

Pathfinder released its 200th Adventure Path release (37th full adventure path I believe) with Seven Dooms for Sandpoint. A sort of classic mega dungeon centered around the town of Sandpoint. Also notable it will be the last one to use DnD's OGL license as they're switching fully to their new ORC one they pioneered. I really hope we see more Pathfinder CRPGs in the future. 

Crown Wars: The Black Prince was delayed until May so that leaves Outcast, Dragon's Dogma 2, & Geneforge 2 for March reviews. I should have Zoria done by Friday/Saturday right on time for Outcast's release on Friday, the 15th. I'm not expecting a review copy for DD2 at this point (which is fine, I'm not entitled to anything) so I likely won't have any content for that up until the 23rd. The character creator is really cool though. 

It looks like Unforetold: Witchstone is dead in the water now. I've pinned a comment about it under the video I made on it's early access launch, and I don't know what the plans are for the current build available on steam but I hope they prevent people from purchasing it in some way.

March is looking to be one of the biggest months of the year for game releases, with 7 new titles I want to review for sure (listed below), and a few more I want to take a look at it at least. So I just wanted to give people a quick heads up about how that's gonna work as many of them are releasing within a day of each other and while I already have review keys for a couple of them there is zero chance of me hitting all these embargoes. Generally the plan is to focus on what I have review keys for first and thus can get a jump on while putting up first impressions videos for what I don't have keys for as they release before doubling back to review them as I go. Most of these I don't think will take especially long, it's just a matter of juggling them around Dragon's Dogma 2 which will be my biggest priority no matter what due to both it being a bigger release of the year and one of my most anticipated games personally. Should be a wild month though, which is certainly a juxtaposition against the backdrop of mass layoffs in the industry.

The Thaumaturge - 4th
Classified: France '44 - 5th
Zoria: Age of Shattering - 7th
Crown Wars: The Black Prince - 14th
Outcast: A New Beginning - 15th
Dragon's Dogma 2 - 22nd
Geneforge 2 - 27th 

No video today (2/13), swapped it for my normal Monday break to get the Banishers Review out for the embargo. I'm back to working on Nioh 2 and The Thaumaturge was delayed again to March 4th, so the rest of February will be somewhat quiet for reviews. March is looking to be packed with Crown Wars, Zoria, Dragons Dogma 2, Outcast, & Geneforge 2 Remake though.
