Several good ones there, but I am so incredibly looking forward to getting Mount & Blade 2, Resident Evil 3, and Hellpoint.

I personally liked Oneiros, for that price quite a quality product, with decent voice acting and awesome music. PCgamer also recommends it from last week releases:
https://www.pcgamer.com/five-new-steam-games-you-probably-missed-march-30-2020/
I created an achievement guide for it on steam, perfection isn't hard at all and could be done in one walkthrough. The guide include a walkthrough too if you get stuck on some puzzles. The best part of the game? You can watch five different old B movies in the 6 cinema rooms in chapter 4, that was amazing:-) I spent some time to watch the 2 SCI-FI ones:-)

+HYPE: Bannerlord release today, loved the first game, but I'll wait for the full game, not buying it on Early Access.

Mount & Blade Bannerlords and Horizon Zero Dawn (summer 2020) are the two games this year that I am most hyped for.

Added The Shattering as an upcoming game as suddenly showed up as new game release and looks interesting.
Today game release:
Devious Dungeons 2
Hero of the Kingdom Lost Tales 1

I Will check upcoming games of May this weekend, so I can edit the topic.

I played Hero of the Kingdom already as it was offered to my curator channel. This episode returns to its roots. It is more like the original 1+2 instead of following the resource hunting and skill leveling path of Episode 3. My detailed review will be on steam right after the game available (it not will be linked here as that count advertising). If you liked 1+2 then you will like this one too. Length of the game: 3-4hours.

Help Will Come Tomorrow is released now. I played it, made some short video about its content, what I can't link to this topic. But I can share opinion:-) It is very hard to survive, easy to die, even on the easiest difficulty. Feels a bit overpriced, but it is indeed interesting and I would rename harder difficulties to: Death Will Come Tomorrow:-D It will be challenging to get all achievements because I am on 9/26 after finishing the game and not managed to unlock the whole story of any of the character. 100% will be rough.

Many interesting games were released yesterday and one more will unlock today. I went for Cloudpunk, I love it so far. An awesome fix if you sad about Cyberpunk 2077 delay and you need your cyberpunk+sci-fi fix. I might go for new XCOM after that as it is bloody cheap with the -50% starter sale (discount might be because owning XCOM1 and XCOM2?)

Desperados 3 got a release date yesterday, so landed on the list.

I never heard about that game but google says it is an old game, not an upcoming game. I also check upcoming games only on steam, but if there is any promising game on another platform with fix release date then I would be happy to add them to this list if someone gets the game and its release time to my attention.

Today is the release of The Secret Government, strategy-grand strategy game with political-economy sim.
Looks promising, but the question is: will it be actually ok game or just a barebone EarlyAccess test project which abandoned if not enough early adopters?
The promising part: It has a roadmap...

It sounds promising. I loved Shadow President but haven’t found another game which has scratched the same itch. Thanks for drawing attention to it; hopefully it’ll turn out well.

Got heavy rain and the port was awful. Game keeps crashing and had to play on low settings despite having above recommended specs. I had to refund

Hmm, reviews are 88% positive, are you sure your drivers were up to date? With common performance issues review ratio would be much lower. But it is true, PC ports of console games about 80-90% of the cases are terrible.

everything is up to date. I even optimised the game with nvidia and it makes the game run at 8-10 fps. I have to set everything at low. my specs are 9th gen i7, gtx 1880ti, 16GB ram, so it's the game.

Paper Dolls 2 revealed release time in last 24h so that changed to the next upcoming "promising" game. 1 is on -50% during summer sale which is a more suitable price based on the length of the game. That game has a walkthrough video and achievement guide from me on steam:-)

Added genre to every single game, if you think one of it not very well described, please let me know.

More update will come today evening, i plan to add more promising game, even if they dont have fix release date, but they will be at the bottom of the list until they get fix release datum. Do you have any suggestion what should be added as looks a promising game? Let me know, if the answer is yes:-)

Paper Dolls 2 got released at friday, 74% ish review value which is ok for these kind of games. Unfortunatly, unlike for the first one, no achievement guide from me on this, based on the first game i would have purchased only for aroun 9-10eur only as first was a bit too short for higher price, guess this similar to that one.

Next promising upcoming game is a F2P clicker: Soda Dungeon 2

Added a few more upcoming games with fix release datum or nearly fix (month).

Few interesting indie game releases today. I'll play Dead Age 2 from those, and "once" the new Artifex Mundi HoG. Beyond a Steel Sky looks also very interesting. Paws and Soul was on my radar for a long time but i tried the First Steps demo and i found controls bad, it might be changed a bit for the full game.

thanks, when i check for upcoming games i choose for steam to show unfiltered list but this game was still not visible, clearly an interesting game, added, but moved instantly to the "released in previous 1 month part", and this is why i hope someone (like you now) post missed interesting new games, if anyone know any:-)

Destroy all Humans, Grounded and Maid of Sker release today, all looks interesting and nice games.
They ninjareleased Othercide one day earlier what i missed:-(

Tomorrow:
Wind Peaks which is literally Hidden Folks in color gameplaywise, but with less people and focusing on finding items so you can progress on story with them. Store page mentions 1h gameplay time, that is wrong, it takes much longer to find the items. Tooltip say 29th, counter says 30th, so it might be on the day after tomorrow.
Cardaclysm: promising card game, might be flop, might be successful.
