In this weekly feature, I share game titles from my various gaming wishlists. I share screenshots and video from the developer, talk about my expectations, and generally just ramble about why the title made it onto my list in the first place. This week's choice is Nightingale by Inflexion Games.

WHY I WANT IT
So this title is basically the gameplay aspects of Valheim
(exploration, crafting, survival) meets gaslamp fantasy & world
building. The ability to affect the procedural generation of worlds to
travel to takes the appeal of games like No Man's Sky and puts some control
into the player's hands (but only some). The added genre of gaslamp fantasy
appeals to a different type of player as well -- not necessarily into sci-fi
(No Man's Sky) or just fantasy survival (Valheim)... we add some Victorian
era elements and mad science... and all the accoutrements the genre affords.
It is well-timed on the heels of the success of Hogwarts Legacy which takes
place in the 1890's when people may be craving more fantasy set in that kind
of era, but perhaps with different magic and mayhem.
While I'm notoriously bad at anything with the "survival"
tag, I'm willing to give this one a try -- but perhaps not when it hits
Early Access. The recommended PC specs are a little elevated for my laptop
and you're probably tired of hearing how my desktop still needs doctoring.
If I can get my desktop in working order within the next month, maybe, I may
try signing up for their
Creator program
if they haven't begun Early Access yet. I can never play too many fantasy
games!
If you agree, you can wishlist it on Steam here!
