Skyrim.
My goal is to play through the entire series this year.
Been on an rpg kick. Tyranny, then the Pillars of Eternity games are up next.
Just started on the Witcher series. Went pretty cheap on the steam winter sale. Looking forward to it.
In order, from the first? I have only played W3, but I do have the classics on the backlog, or at least W2.
Lord of the rings return to moria. It's basically been a valve in but with dwarves. Loving it.
Im going deep into beyond all reason, warzone 2100 and speed dreams
Beyond All Reason is the kind of rts that makes you realize chasing after Starcraft style gameplay (when Total Annihilation presented a totally different and arguably more approachable experience with shift clicking and less obsessive micro) was a fatal error for the broad popularity of the rts genre.
A competitive rts hyper focused on apm and units that move in artificial and uninteresting ways (especially airplanes) was never going to inspire a new generation of rts fans with diverse interests and brain types to dip their toes in instead of leading to a narrower and more constrained vision of what rts games are and what kind of brain types can suceed at them.
BAR is both a living breathing cryptid (descended from the ancient TA itself) that somehow survived the great RTS extinction event and also paradoxically a vision of the future of RTS games.
Resident Evil Village and Sniper Elite 4
The first has some really cool environments and storytelling. I heard it was "like a shooter" and so I put it to maximum difficulty right away. I have to say I am not a fan of having to empty several pistol magazines into the head of the first enemy I encounter and they... survive. When murder becomes a chore, it kinda takes the fun out of it. So I lowered the difficulty setting.
The second... is as bad as the one before it. Just put it to maximum difficulty and yolo your way trough all levels. Or don't, it doesn't matter. Enemies are insanely slow. You can always walk up to some nazi's, sip your tea, then remember you should find cover because one enemy just finished their tiktok doom scrolling and decides to aim their gun at you.
I'm working my way through Valheim. I started last year and then stopped shortly before fighting the second boss and never got around to picking it back up. Now I'm back at it and working through the third biome. I still have a long way to go and hope that I can continue to sink at least 100 more hours into it.
I also got Metro 2033 and Last Light on the Steam winter sale. I started Metro Exodus a few years ago and also stopped pretty early, so I'm hoping that this time I can stick with it through the whole series. I also got Grim Dawn and it doesn't play great on the Deck, but hopefully I'll be able to get used to it with a bit of effort.
Outside of those, Wildermyth and Brotato are my main chillout games and I'm pretty sure they'll also get 50-100 hours each this year.
Got 5 days left to finish Indiana Jones before the GamePass subscription times out.
Dishonoured, Uncharted Collection
I love Dishonored. Never played the Uncharted games but they look fun
Continuing Metaphor: ReFantazio. It's the most consistently polished game Atlus made (that I played) in years, though maybe SMT VV has a chance once I get to it. The only ones that come to mind are Persona 5/Royal (however much I prefer P3 and P4), and Etrian Odyssey V. Both of which had longer development times compared to their series, who knew?
My only complaint is that it doesn't have any 10/10 aspect that I'd love, most of my favourite games are somewhat flawed anyway, as long as they have that special aspect that clicks. But then, Persona 3 had nothing like that until the endgame, so there's still time for it to surprise me.
All of my favourite games, artists, movies, and anything else I’m interested in all have something that I don’t consider 10/10 so I definitely see what you mean
Pokémon Crystal and Red Ded Redemption 2
Two of my all-time favourite games. Both are probably top 10
You’re in for a treat. Both great games
Continuing my replay of Red Dead Redemption 1, probably followed by 2. Probably going to finish my replay of Subnautica. Not sure what new games will slot in after that.
Having never played rdr1, do you still recommend it, knowing I played through rdr2 already? I'm wondering if I should put it on my wishlist to pick it up at a sale or not even bother.
I've just got sifu from egs and will probably get either dreadhunter or windblown somewhere down the line. Along with regular runs on Dead Cells that I'm deeply addicted to.
Dredge, Disco Elysium and Mines of Moria
I finally decided to go further than the elevator in MGS, so probably that, and hopefully follow up with the whole franchise (i only played mgs5 for about 5 hours).
I also started playing Black Book, interesting deck building game !
Playing through the entire Dragon Age series, then Pillars of Eternity and Sea of Stars.
Fallout New Vegas, finally getting around to playing it!
I’m currently playing echoes of wisdom and elder scrolls: oblivion.
Although I drunkenly played GTA4 while listening to early 2000s crunk rap in memory of it being 25 years since 2000
next get drunk and play oblivion while listening to young scrolls

how about starting with Star by Adoring Fan?
I've just recently started playing through Wasteland 3. Been trying to start up Civ VI, but it appears as though Steam has broken it on my Mac, so I will need an alternative alternative. Maybe something from my Epic or GOG library, so my kids don't leave me out of luck when they want to use the Steam library, too.
I played Alan Wake 2 last winter on my Steam Deck, fearing I would get spoilers before I build my PC. Now that I have built it, I will proceed with The Final Draft and the DLCs.
how did you manage to play it on deck?
Returned to Elite Dangerous after an almost two year break. Just casually space trucking to grind out some credits while watching youtube. Once I get enough to outfit one or two new ships, I plan to finally give exploration/exobiology a try, and check out the changes to the engineering grind.
When I last played, I was kind of at the end of what I'd consider "early game", but there are a decent amount of learning cliffs. Should probably practice some of the other low level content again before moving on.
One of my cousins asked for the game for Christmas and I picked it up on sale for him, so I'm hoping we can play some together at some point.
Yakuza 3. Probably for the 3rd time as well because there was too much time since I played and lost track of the plot.
Nice! I just finished that game and it was quite fun. It wasn't my favorite, but the whole orphanage thing gave it a very emotional angle.
I just installed MGS5 and Ground Zeros. Having never played a Metal Gear game, so I might hate it but I want to try.
That's a crazy one to start with but it's also a very good game.
I finally got to Pillars of Eternity. (Not very surprisingly) It gives me strong Baldurs Gate 1 vibes, and it is pretty good so far.
Played some Doom 2 (halfway through Deck the Underhalls) today, gonna play Skyrim now (started new playthrough few weeks ago). After finishing Underhalls I'm gonna proceed to play even more Doom, and after finishing Skyrim I definitely wanna play more Morrowind, some big things released recently [1] [2].
Still on poe2 for now. Over 250 hours in by now and don't feel like stopping any time soon. I took time off from work when it launched and I'm getting back tomorrow so will have to learn how to balance the two now.
A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
