Today is a rainy and cold day, ideal for staying at home in front of a PC and exploring all the games currently in development. I’m not exactly at home, but in the office and before starting work I collected some promising titles, to be released between 2020 and 2021.
Before starting I remind you to follow our youtube channel (where you will find the video version of this article) and to join our brand new discord server where we can deal with gamers and developers. Saying that, let’s start.
