Are there any games in particular that you're excited to play on launch? If you're looking for recommendations, I can say that Core Keeper is a great game if you enjoy craft-y survival-type games. After having sunk 31 hours into it through the game's early access build, it reminded me a lot of Terraria, with a big focus on base-building, boss slaying, and general farming and crafting.
