Games
So, yeah, a recent comment/question had me looking at my Steam wishlist and realizing it's currently down to one (not yet released) game. I seem to have made it through the handful of holiday games and come out the other side with... not so much that I really want or am waiting on. Which isn't to say things are totally bleak.
That one remaining game is Torment: Tides of Numenera. I'm fairly sure I'll play it when it comes out at the end of the month, but I didn't throw my support behind it originally and I'm trying to manage expectations overall. Claiming to be a spiritual successor to Planescape: Torment is setting the bar very, very high in my book. A big part of that could be personal - I'm not the same person I was when I played Planescape, and I'm skeptical of the ability of T:ToN to have the same level of impact. We'll see.
And toward the end of March, there's Mass Effect: Andromeda, which is another almost-given for me. But that one probably won't be on Steam for a year or two. *le-sigh* I'll have to go through Origin.
I looked closely at Tales of Berseria recently. I feel like I would be interested in the story and characters, but the game maps and scenery look so very bland that I think putting 40+ hours into the game would be an unpleasant trial. I've decided to give that one a "miss."
And on a vastly smaller scale, I've found A Dark Room, accessible in app form or played online here to be a fascinating little game offering an unusual sense of discovery. As such, saying much more about it might diminish the experience, but it's pretty neat for something freely available.
