Whilst our new decade is firing on all cylinders when it comes to new consoles being developed, the game release slate has been in a quiet holding pattern since late 2019.

This is due to many major studios focusing their powers on next generation technology, not to mention, us gamers being hit by a video game release slate mass delay, aka The Delay-apocalypse.

The month of February was originally meant to see the release of The Last of Us: Part 2, likely one of the most anticipated game titles of this console generation, yet that's been pushed back to May.

Add to that list another PS4-exclusive, Marvel's Iron Man VR, which got delayed from this month also to May. We can't forget Ubisoft's delicious-looking Gods and Monsters that got a push to autumn.

It's unfortunate those titles have taken the wind out this month's release slate since there are a lot of titles to get excited.

We have some tight Metroidvania action titles, a couple of cult classics making their return, and (another) massively anticipated PS4-exclusive finally getting a release.

12. The Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance Tactics

Release Date: Feb 4th

Platforms: PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One

While Netflix has successfully conquered the binge-watch TV model, and now have made strides with movies, their current push with video games has been lukewarm so far.

Stranger Things 3 was a cute idea but average in execution and the last said about Narcos: Rise of the Cartels, the better. Now they are turning their attention to their newly acquired Dark Crystal IP.

While that rich fantasy world could make for a great video game, this top-down tactical game, doesn't look like it will be it.
