Not a bad month at all. Mass Effect, Days Gone and Resident Evil 8: Village for me. Also looking forward to Metro Exodus Remastered, free upgrade.
 
Kind of a neat month for Switch, including Pokemon Snap that came out a few days ago. Nice to see more activity on that system, even if it's smaller games. I might have to look at Subnautica over there, and the detective game seems cool too.

Elsewhere, it feels like it's going to be a Resident Evil 8 month. Thinking I really want to enjoy and discuss this with everyone else here, if I have the time.

I've avoided pretty much everything related to RE8 so I can go in with fresh eyes. I'm looking forward to it.

Nice thread man!

Can't wait for Biomutant! Probably get RE8 later in the month.. Definitely will check out Elite Dangerous: Odyssey.

Already got the AC: Valhalla season pass, so I'm looking forward to the Druids expansion.

Probably only going to be buying RE8 this month. Already have quite a backlog I'm working on.

I wasn't planning on buying anything, but somehow was unaware of Wrath of the Druids, I need to see what that's about and will probably buy it.

Also interested in Subnautica Below Zero. I wish Game Pass would make that another Day 1 release, but I'll probably buy that too instead of waiting for it on Game Pass. The original was great.

I'm kind of interested in Biomutant but that's a wait and see for me and likely a wait for Game Pass.
 
Definite Purchase:
RE 8 (PC)
Mass Effect Remaster (PC)
Biomutant (PC)
SMT: Nocturne (PS5)

Purchase depending on reviews:
Hood
Almighty: Kill Your Gods
Knockout City
King of Seas
 
Just Village for me. Probably one of the only games this year I'll buy. Then it's back to playing throught the older REs for the first time and replaying MGS games.

REVill for sure. Mass Effect is tempting but I'll wait the six months to a year for it to get ported to Switch because there's no way I'll be able to finish all three of those games again unless they're portable.

My wife is buying New Pokemon Snap for me, and if it's a dud the kids will still enjoy it immensely.

Other than that, I'm still catching up on 2020 games I missed. Spelunky 2, Ghost of Tsushima, Deep Rock Galactic, Hardspace: Shipbreaker, Ghostrunner... and plenty of others.

Biomutant somewhere down the line.
Days Gone day one if the port is good.
RE8 maybe, dunno.

My biggest game for this month is Metro Exodus Enhanced though, because I am a huge graphics whore and it looks freaking incredible.

Just RE8 this month for me. Still working on NieR Replicant (got ending A so far) and the new season of Apex happens later today so I'll have plenty to keep me busy.
