Are we going to get an Octopath Traveller review?

Also, I hope Guacamelee 2 lives up to the first one!

Signature goes here!

Nicholas is working on that now, so stay tuned!

I reached out to a PR firm for an early code for Guacamelee! 2 -- hopefully that will come through!

Nice articles. Is anyone going to do a review of SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy when it comes out? I know it's a september game, but still. Also, can someone make a compilation of monthly user reviews too? There are a lot of them that are lost once they go beyond the Latest User Reviews limit.

You know it deserves the GOTY.

I'm going to write the next part of the History of Metal Gear series, and possibly something else as well. Can't say for certain right now what I'll get finished.

We haven’t yet assigned September games, but stay tuned!

As for user reviews, it’s a good idea. Maybe someone else in the community can tackle that.

I could do that, though it would be somewhat irregular due to some months getting way more user reviews than others.

Also, you people better put my review of Submarine Titans on the highlight once I finish it. ;)

You know it deserves the GOTY.
