Nothing. Eventually Like a Dragon when the price drops. I have yet to play the first Octopath Traveler, but I'm interested.
Wanted: Dead CE PS5 (want the SteelBook & the LE goods)
Like a Dragon: Ishiin PS5 (SteelBook Bonus at Best Buy)
Octopath Traveler II PS5 (SteelBook Bonus at Best Buy)
Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society PS5 (part of a Buy 2 Get 1 Free Preorder from Target)
Wild Hearts PS5 (enjoyed Toukiden 1 & 2...can't wait for another Omega Force hunting title!)
Witch on the Holy Night LE PS4
Theatrhythm Final Bar Line PS4
Victrix Pro BFG Wireless PS5
and last but not least PSVR 2 with the Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle.

Like A Dragon, Tales, and Octopath2 are all games I'm really interested in but Destiny grinding for the Lightfall raid is already taking up all my free time, not to mention I'm buying a PSVR2 with like 6 games and theatrythm.
(FF:TCC would make an amazing VR game btw, with motion controls)

Every Yakuza game has been so far, and this doesn't look any more demanding from a technical standpoint. It should run at least decently well, if not very well
This one is on Unreal Engine 4, so it's different in that regard from the previous Yakuzas in that regard.
Oh I didn't know that, the footage looks exactly the same. Hmm yeah, I guess best to wait and see
I was not expecting Yggdra Union to come out on PC, so I'm going with that.

I got the Premium Digital Deluxe edition of Theatrhythm pre-ordered, because I'm a sucker for that series and SQEX can have all my money.
As a big Monster Hunter fan, I'm also VERY curious about Wild Hearts. Will probably get it unless reviews are very poor.

Definite purchases:
Deliver Us Mars (PS5)
Journey to the Savage Planet (PS5) - Free upgrade with the Hot Garbage DLC
Tetris Effect (PS5)
Rez Infinite (PS5)
Clive 'n' Wrench (PS5)
Undecided/Maybe Purchases:
Wild Hearts - Not sure I want to pay £70 for it but something about it is clicking with me. Waiting for reviews
Tales of Symphonia Remastered - It's a very light remaster but it's one of the first JRPGs I finished and loved so the pull it there
Atomic Heart - It'll be on Gamepass so I can play it but I'm not expecting it to run well on Series S and I'm trepidatious over the dev situation
Like A Dragon: Ishin! - Never played a Yakuza game but I like the look of this one. Not sure whether i should try from the start or just try here
Octopath Traveller 2 - Wasn't blown away by the demo for the original so didn't play it but kind of want a solid JRPG to play this month
The Pale Beyond - Haven't been doing much PC gaming in recent years, like the look of this but feel I'll buy it and it'll just sit in my library
Destiny 2: Lightfall - Every expansion I feel intrigued to jump back in but don't know if I can be bothered after all this time
It's a decently packed month and I suspect there's still a handful of smaller indie titles awaiting dates to add to this. Trying to not let FOMO get to me but I have a feeling a lot of the Maybes will end up being purchased.

User Warned: Discussion of Banned Game
Just Hogwarts. Big FOMO going on there as basically everyone around me (including my non gamer teamlead) is getting it.
Might get Octopath or Atomic Heart next month.

I'm spending $15 this month on EA Play Pro so I can play Dead Space Remake and Wild Hearts on PC. If WH is good, I'll get it on Steam since it's a game I can easily spend hundreds of hours in. Gotta make sure the mechanics are tight, gameplay loop is good and of course the PC port isn't terrible.
Lightfall and PSVR2 will be more than enough I think
No game is worth helping stealing the lives and rights of other people though

Octopath 2 and Like a Dragon Ishin are a definite yes.
Wild Hearts is probably a yes, at the very least I'll try play the 10 hour trial that you usually get from game pass/ea access or otherwise buy it on PC.
Theatrhythm is a maybe. I did enjoy previous ones, but I kinda want it on PC and it's seemingly not releasing on that platform, which leaves me in an awkward spot. I could still get it on either Switch or PS4, but I feel like either isn't ideal.
Not mentioned in the OP, but I'm potentially interested in Digimon World Next Order and The Settlers: New Allies also depending on impressions. Returnal is also a maybe but I'm a bit undecided on that one since I'm not massive on roguelite/roguelikes.

Unless I'm missing a post or two, I'm not sure how simply saying that you're going to buy it is gushing over it. Should anyone even bringing up the name in the context of a "What are you buying this month" thread be banned?
Yea, I went through the entire thread and saw two posts that could be considered even remotely gushing about it. In a thread with nearly 350 posts, that's certainly not enough to get bent out of shape over. I'd say the ban is working pretty well considering most are just saying the name or "the game that shall not be named" and leaving it at that.
I mean, you were the one acting confused about someone referring to those posts 🤷♀️
Looks like I'm getting nothing. Especially not Hogfarts Legacy and Atomic Fart. They stanky. One definitely helps Rowling cause suffering for trans people and the other quite likely supports Russia's war crimes.
I'll keep Hitmanning instead. Buy Hitman everyone.
