     Dave the Diver: In the Jungle (DLC) * Warframe: 
     1999 (DLC)  * Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth (for PC) * Last 
     of Us Part II Remastered (for PC)


Of these, only a handful caught my eye. "Catly", because kitty-cats! 
"Intergalactic: Heretic Prophet", because it's being made by the 'Last
of Us' and 'Uncharted' devs, and they have a really good record of
solid single-player games. "Onimusha: Way Of The Sword", because that
series is a secret sin of mine and it's been way too long since we've
had another game in that series. "Project Robot", because its by the
same guys who did "Ico" and "Shadow of the Colussus" and probably will
be different enough to be interesting. "Screamer", because (and
despite) the fact that it's a nostalgia-fueled remake. And finally,
"Thick as Thieves", because Warren Spector is involved.

That said, I didn't really look into ANY of these games, because I
don't want to be spoiled of any surprises, and anyway its much too
early to start getting excited about any of them. These are just the
ones I didn't write off automatically.


Did any of these catch your eye?
