Summary

In this video, Ex Serv presents a personal list of 20 video games he is most looking forward to in 2026, organized alphabetically. He begins by wishing viewers a happy new year and explaining his break from content creation. He notes that while 2025 was dominated by indie games, 2026 seems to have many big titles. He explicitly excludes GTA 6 from his list, stating he does not force himself to cover games he is not genuinely excited about. The list includes Ace Combat 8, Alabaster Dawn (from the CrossCode studio), Cairn (a mountain climbing game with a soundtrack by Toxic Avenger and Martin Stig Andersen), Control Resonant (sequel to Control with melee combat), Coven of the Chicken Foot (a game featuring an elderly protagonist), Crimson Desert (from Pearl Abyss, approached with caution), Grime 2 (a metroidvania with Souls inspiration), Light No Fire (from Hello Games, a shared planet exploration game), MIO: Memories in Orbit (a French metroidvania), Onimusha (a long-awaited return), Ontos (a horror game from the Soma team), Opus Prism Peak (a narrative game with a camera mechanic), Out of Words (a co-op game with handmade aesthetics), Phantom Blade 0 (action-oriented, not a Souls-like), Pragmata, Reanimal, Saros, Slay the Spire 2, Star Wars Galactic Racers, and Warhammer 40k Dawn of War IV. He shares personal anecdotes and impressions from demos and trailers, emphasizing his excitement for Onimusha and Control Resonant. The video concludes with a brief farewell.

Critical Evaluation

The video is a subjective, opinion-based list of anticipated video games, typical of a gaming content creator. The creator, Ex Serv, demonstrates a clear passion for gaming and provides personal insights into each title, often referencing demos he has played or trailers he has seen. The information presented is not scientific or factual but rather a curated selection based on personal taste. The argumentation is not rigorous in a scientific sense; it relies on the creator’s authority as a long-time gamer and content creator. The sources cited are limited to the games’ trailers and demos, with no external scientific or journalistic references. The video’s strength lies in its engaging presentation and the creator’s ability to convey enthusiasm, which may help viewers discover new games. However, from a critical perspective, the video lacks depth in analysis—each game is discussed briefly, often with only a few sentences of description. There is no critical evaluation of potential flaws or controversies surrounding the games or their developers. For instance, the creator mentions caution regarding Crimson Desert due to the developer’s MMO background but does not elaborate on specific concerns. The video also includes a brief sponsorship mention (Patreon, merchandise, Gamesplanet), which is transparent but does not affect the content’s integrity. The title accurately reflects the content, and the video delivers exactly what it promises: a personal list of anticipated games. The creator’s decision to exclude GTA 6 is a notable point of authenticity, as he prioritizes genuine interest over potential viewership. Overall, the video is a well-produced piece of entertainment and opinion, but it holds limited value as a source of factual or scientific information. It is best suited for viewers seeking recommendations or entertainment rather than in-depth analysis.

Contribution & Novelties

The video provides a curated list of anticipated games for 2026 from the perspective of a dedicated gaming content creator. While the list itself is subjective, it may introduce viewers to lesser-known titles such as Alabaster Dawn, Cairn, and Opus Prism Peak. The creator’s personal anecdotes and impressions from demos add a layer of authenticity. However, the video does not offer new factual information or analysis beyond what is available in official trailers and demos.

Pour aller plus loin :

  • CrossCode — The previous game by the studio behind Alabaster Dawn, praised for its action RPG mechanics.
  • Returnal — The game by Housemarque, whose sequel Saros is anticipated; known for its roguelike gameplay.
