I know we’re already in February, but what are you looking forward to playing this year?

I am currently limited to my PS4 and an older laptop as far as big-screen gaming is concerned, and I am going to be playing some sequels:

  • The Witcher II - The 3rd part is more famous but I hear 2 has the better story. I am also one of those who really enjoyed part 1!
  • Pillars of Eternity 2 - the first one was so good I can’t wait
  • Red Dead Redemption II - which I got for my birthday. It is absolutely HUGE. RDR1 is in my all-time favorite games list.

As for handheld gaming, I have recently gotten a Nintendo DS Lite and a PSP so I will be playing some:

  • Deadeus - a 2D horror game that someone recommended on this thread

  • Final Fantasy Tactics funnily enough, I never played this! I did enjoy the GBA version a lot though.

  • Jeanne D’Arc apparently it is one of the PSP’s best titles.

As someone with a lot of IRL obligations, I will be very happy if I make it through this list.

What is on your list?

    1. Factorio. This game will probably be on my list every year because it’s so good. I’m currently going for all achievements, but after that I want to try to make a Bob’s+Angel’s megabase, or start the K2 and/or Space Exploration mods. And then the DLC should be coming out this year, with a slew of new stuff to play with and legions of QoL features for all players regardless of if they have the DLC.

    2. Pokémon Legends Arceus. I bought the game but I wanted to finish Scarlet first. Now I’ve finished Scarlet (although I might want to go back to it for the postgame). I’ve already started Arceus, but I’ve barely made it out of the Tutorial.

    3. Cities Skylines II. I already have 28 hours in it, but the planned roadmap for the game this year is quite exciting.

    4. The Legend of Zelda, Link’s Awakening (GB emulator). I wanted to game on my new daily driver, Ubuntu, and didn’t want to reinstall all my Steam games because I’m dual booting Windows, so I decided to go into emulation and try the Zelda franchise. So far I’ve beaten level 1 and am having fun.

    5. Cassette Beasts. Pokemon-like but with more ambition and innovation put into it. On my wishlist.

    6. Palworld. Same as above, but also has elements of Factorio in it.

    7. Dyson Sphere Program. Bought the game on sale. Never played it. Will get to it eventually. (I said that last year as well)

    8. Kerbal Space Program. Same as above.
