Gaming scene kinda stagnant at the moment?

I'm trying to find a few releases on the horizon to get excited about. The last couple of years have been ok, always something coming but... it seems to have gone relatively quiet?

Maybe just me?
Currently just sorta find myself going back through my older titles with mods/similar (looking forward to X-Com 2: Long War 2 for example).
Last couple of... fairly big releases being Mankind Divided, Dishonored 2 (sadly not a fan) and Civ 6. Around this time last year was all the bluster around FO4, X-com 2, etc.

Anyone got a heads up on some fairly AA releases to look forward to?

Resident Evil 7
Mass Effect Andromeda
New South Park game

They are the top 3 on my radar.

I'm eagerly anticipating Conan Exiles and Resident Evil 7. Further on down the line, I expect Kingdom Come: Deliverance will have a huge impact!

Oooh, thinking about it, there's Cyberpunk 2077 due sometime this year ain't there?

Edit: Oh, no. 2017 was the earliest we might hear a release date. Arse.

There's always a lull just after the pre-Christmas release rush. It'll start to pick up again in a few weeks.

Yes, i can't wait for The Fractured But Whole.
The last SP game did an incredible job of capturing the atmosphere of a south park episode. Have high hopes for that one.

It usually a little quite in January and February, but Resident Evil 7 is a huge game, but I'm looking forward to Conan Exiles and the Nintendo Switch

This is the next big release for me. Can't wait!

Aside from the proliferation of low quality pre access stuff, I was actually thinking it's been a decent enough year, all things considered. Originality is still lacking in newer titles, but the sheer size of the PC catelogue available is amazing at the moment.
