About Descartes, Boobs and Videogames

I decided to write this (very) short story after I noticed that one of the most famous videogames blogs in my country began to replace news about videogames with something that videogames have little to do with. What do I mean? Obviously "a crowd of sexy streamers and busty cosplayers" that usually has nothing to say but a lot to show.
Anyway, if you just want to know what will be released in December, feel free to skip my poor digressions. You'll have all my sympathy...

EMPIRE OF SIN – 1st December = quickly got Mixed reviews on Steam.
PHOENIX POINT – 3rd December = plain bad game after you exit combat
SHADOW EMPIRE – 3rd Decembe = Probably Xenonauts 1 engine, its so bad..
DRAGON QUEST XI S: ECHOES OF AN ELUSIVE AGE = great game, only for five year olds..
ARCANIUM: RISE OF AKHAN = obscure card shuffler
MONSTER SANCTUARY = weird pixel platformer
THE WIND AND WILTING BLOSSOM = anti-absolutely non-amazing Pencil-Drawn HOMM-Wannabe Heap of Lameness
REVOLUTION: THE SPARK (E.A.) = time-rewinding [?] allegedly turn-based tactical RPG? "I have a baad feeling about this.."

Not quite as exciting as their future releases list for me. Only game I'm interested in here is Phoenix Point, and even then I'm still going to wait a bit longer to see if they further improve it.
