2024 gaming
I've had a pretty tumultuous last few years when it comes to games since escaping the live service mines, but I think I'm starting to get a grasp on what my tastes actually are. Here's my optimistic plans for what I want to take a swing at in the near future!
6 Games
Reassessments
Some games that I really want to replay and give another go, either because my outlook on stuff has changed a lot since the last time or just because I fancy it. Expect reviews for these ones maybe?
- Xenoblade Chronicles 1 / X
- Dark Souls (I'd like to do DS3 but I've played that game so much that it's hard for me to go back to)
- Elden Ring
- Furi
- NieR:Automata
- Deltarune (maybe Undertale as well?)
- Maybe some GBA Fire Emblem if I'm in the mood for junk food gaming

I want to play more RPGs
Aside from Pokemon and being peer pressured into trying Xenoblade and Persona like a decade ago (I like one of these, no need to guess which) I haven't really played many RPGs. These are the ones that immediately interest me, if I get along with some of them I'll probably keep branching off from there.
- Final Fantasy (probably starting with 7)
- LIVE A LIVE
- Moon: Remix RPG Adventure
- Fallout
- Planescape: Torment
- SMT: Nocturne
- Thracia 776 (I WILL finish this!!!!!!!)

Reading Games
I've always struggled to push myself through text-heavy games. I always enjoy myself when I do, but I never have the drive to pick them up. I really want to try to change that!
- Ace Attorney
- Pentiment
- Disco Elysium
- The Silver Case / Flower, Sun and Rain

What The Fuck Is An Immersive Sim
System Shock rules, and apparently it's the one that put The Immersive Sim on the radar. I was ready to write off the genre after not getting on with Dishonored, what with me hearing more praise for that game than Deus Ex at this point, but I'm more willing to dig into them now.
- System Shock 2
- Deus Ex
- Cruelty Squad
- I don't think Hitman counts but I'm sticking it here anyway because I wanna replay Blood Money

- Ico / Shadow of the Colossus
- DOOM
- Half-Life 1 / 2
- King's Field / Shadow Tower
- Metal Gear Solid
- Resident Evil
- Silent Hill

- Dragon's Dogma 2
- Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
- Chibi-Robo!
- Recettear
