Time to stock up for the next 5 months.
Depends on what you call good (I don't think I'd call Greedfall good myself), but next 5 months should also give us Phoenix Point, The Outer Worlds, the Underrail expansion, Jeff Vogel's new game, and probably Divinity: Fallen Heroes and the Paranoia RPG. Some other lesser-knowns too - Encased comes to mind. Not a bad 5 months at all.Are any good games expected in the next 5 months (besides greedfall)?

I guess? I have no interest in playing Greedfall, but I think I'll get around to trying Queen's Wish at some point. They're likely to both be mediocre, but turn-based top-down is way more appealing than action third-person. So that's my logic.You wouldn't call Greedfall good, but you're including Jeff Vogel's latest piece of shovelware among games you think are?

But on an amusing side note, Vogel's recent games actually have Metacritic scores of 75 (Avadon), 82 (Avadon 2), 76 (Avernum 1), and 78 (Avernum 2). Meanwhile, Spiders' recent RPGs are sitting at 59 (Mars: War Logs), 56 (Bound By Flame), and 56 (Technomancer).
That's easy: the fact that every other game they've ever made is mediocre, or worse. Doesn't mean it's guaranteed to be, of course, but I think saying that it's likely is a quite reasonable assessment.I'm not seeing what indicates Greedfall is likely to be mediocre.
For me, The Sinking City looks like the best thing about to be released, but I know some people here will be too stubborn over the Epic exclusivity to even try it.
It won’t scare your socks off, but if you can avoid getting bogged down by The Sinking City’s clunkier elements, there’s enough to enjoy here. The detective work is quite involving, but the combat is a mess and the pretty open-world doesn’t have enough in it to justify its existence. It would’ve been better suited as a series of locations you hop between, rather than dull jaunts to get to places of interest or the various archives of information. 60/100

The Sinking City is well worth playing for the initial rhythm of its casework and the freshness of its setting, but its mechanics, like its mystery, end up flooded. 6/10

This is a bad deal. That game, from what I've read and seen, doesn't deserve more than $10.There are some good deals going on, no question:
Resident Evil 2 is 34% off = $40
My condolences.I picked up Dragon's Dogma.
You'll adore the main story, fighting and sidequests. The game is fantastic. Keep in mind that everyone in the game, except the main protagonist(s), is a perv. Kids included.Kinda want to try out Yakuza 0 as well but I'm not sure if I will enjoy the main story and fighting as much as mini games (dance, karaoke and cabaret club)

There are even lower reviews, I just took a couple of "neutral" samples, that even say nice things about the game. There are also scores that go high as 8/10, but yeah, not wasting my time with an average 6/10 or 7/10 game that needs malware to be installed and played.
