November used to be the busy period for games, but now February and March have tak♍en over as some of the most hectic months for new releases and Atomfall comes right at the tail end. 

Atomfall, the upcoming survival game that looks a lot like Fallout but English, is now due out March 27, 2025. In February alone we're getting 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Civilization 7, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Assassin's Creed Shadows, Avowed, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza inܫ Hawaii, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Monster Hunter Wilds. March is a bit better, with the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Suikoden Remasters and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitiꦦve Edition𒆙, but let's be honest, none of us will be through our February backlog by then.

The beginning of the year can be a tough time as most of us spend too much money over the December holiday period and end up needing to save for a bit before splurging on half a dozen new games. This means you'll have to choose which games you want to play carefully, as both time and cash will be in short supply. It's going to be a battle royale, and I'm not talking about Fortnite.

I'm not too sure why this has become the new trend. November made sense. Publishers wanted games available for the holidays so🌠 people could buy them as gifts. It's co🦹ld, people have time off work, it's the perfect time to stay in and get cozy with a game. 

Summer usually brings fewer games out, and again, that makes sense. Everyone is traveling or enjoyi♐ng the sun outside; who wants to be cooped up i💙n front of electronics blasting you with residual heat? But this late winter/early spring period is a more recent phenomenon, and it confuses and scares me.

If you're undecided on Atomfall, it's a survival action game inspired by the likes of Fallout, Metro, and BioShock. You'll be fighting for survival in post-nuclear apocalypse Britain, s🎃o if that's your jam, make sure✅ to save some budget for it.

In the meantime, here are the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best games of 2024 so far. 

I'm Issy, a freelancer who you'll now occasionally see over here covering news on GamesRadar. I've always had a passion for playing games, but I learned how to write about them while doing my Film and TV degrees at the University of Warwick and contributing to the student paper, The Boar. After university I worked at TheGamer before heading up the news section at Dot Esports. Now you'll find me freelancing for Rolling Stone, NME, Inverse, and many more places. I love all things h💦orror, narrative-driven, and indie, and I mainly play on my PS5. I'm currently clearing my backlog and loving Dishonored 2.
