Disco elesium eventually
Play it ASAP, it's great.
I just finished my first playthrough and wanted to start a new game immediately afterward. I've never felt like that after a game before. Disco Elysium is an amazing game.
Can't wait to find someone who will play It Takes Two with me. As the name suggests, it takes two people to play and I am but one person. :(
If you find someone, you should also play 'A Way Out' !
I think I also have that because It Takes Two came in a bundle with it.
Good luck! 🤞
Hope you find someone. I played it with my wife, and didn't expect too much, but it was actually one of the better games I've played. Truly fantastic level and puzzle design.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition.
Never played ME, before, but I hear it's pretty good.
Me too. I have the "old" versions "Mass Effect 2007", "Mass Effect 2 2010" and "Mass Effect 2 (2010) Edition" (for some reasons there are two versions of old ME2) on Steam and was about to buy Legendary Edition and finally getting started to play. But I'm not happy with the additional requirements of it, as it requires Origin client and an EA account to play this single player game. This is unacceptable to me. Old versions do not require this.
So after my research and being confused of multiple versions and if the Legendary Edition is worth it, lost interest. But ME2 is still on my list to play soon.
I'm jealous of a 1st play through. It's incredible.
That's what I keep hearing! Looking forward to a good space opera
My friend loves Mass Effect, he liked the LE quite a bit.
Return of the obra dinn
I feel like it's a game to be played in one long go, so I'm waiting for the right time.
Pacific Drive for me! Played the demo and it seemed a pretty chill scavenging and driving game. I'll get to it once I'm done with The Outer Worlds and its DLC.
Baba is you. I know the game was made by people much smarter than I am, I know I'm going to get stuck chasing a bad idea for 30+ minutes..
I have just not been feeling puzzley lately.
Planescape: Torment
Waiting to get a better eyeglass prescription so I can read the tiny text
Metal Gear Solid V >:)
I bought that game day one, actually played like the first 4 missions, thought to myself "Wow, this is going to be incredible! I should wait until I have a loong weekend, hehe~", and then never touched it again.
I am glacially making my way through the first 4 now, though.
I've given up. I'm going to just keep adding to wishlist and nibble on a new one every now and then.
I feel this. In some ways it was a relief discovering that I didn't need to keep up with gaming anymore. I would just play what I want want to play, when. But unfortunately I've missed (or even forgotten) about a lot of games I really wanted to play.
I keep mine in an ever growing wishlist, which I never get back to, but it stops me from feeling like I forgot anything.
The Witcher 3
Gotta finally make it through The Witcher 1 first and then play The Witcher 2. The first game in the series is so rough around the edges (even after many patches) that this is easier said than done. I hate jumping into the middle of a game series due to the fear of missing out on references and character backstories, which is why I'm torturing myself like this.
I highly recommend skipping straight to witcher 3 unless you really love the series and want to consume everything it has. Still, 3 + the dlc has a lot.
TBH my favorite part of W3 was all the side quests. The writing and dialogue are intriguing and give you more of a flavor for the dark fantasy of the world.
Fortunately, if you need character backstories and such, you could instead read the books or watch the TV series instead. I jumped straight into Witcher 3 and had no issues with missing background knowledge.
That's not to say you shouldn't play 1 or 2 though, just that there are other options.
Elden Ring.
I've bought it on sale knowing my PC can't run it. As soon as I finally update it that's the first game I'm gonna install.
I mean it runs on a steam deck -- what's holding you back? Or do you just want to run it with better settings?
No, I mean it won't run at all.
My machine is a laptop with a nvida 960m for a GPU. Game wouldn't even start.
I feel this. I've been playing it on medium-ish settings to compensate. It will be a blast when you do play!
A good chunk of the 3DS library. So many titles I haven't gotten around to yet.
I need to eventually finish monster hunter iceborne and then play Rise! I have a feeling I'll probably end up just jumping to wilds though. It'll probably be hard to go back to older titles when that game releases.
The Yakuza series! I have only finished zero, 1 & 2. They release them faster than I'm getting to them lol.
Monster hunter mentioned!
I really want to tell you to give rise a try because the sunbreak expansion is absolute peak monster hunter, but I agree that february 28th release date is creeping up way too fast...
Hades Baldur's Gate 3 Witcher 3 Dark Souls 3 Elden Ring Path of Exile II Zelda Breath of the Wild (Switch II?) Z BotW II
Better take a year off, mate.
Are you paying? :P But yeah I know I am a terrible person. But the good thing, this way I don't play mediocre or above average games. :D Although I spent way too much game on "multiplayer" games like Deadlock atm.
Baldur's Gate 2
Sadly I just can't read so much at the moment.
Dark souls remastered for me. I'm just about done with my 2nd DS3 run
i have spiritfarer but my mom is on the way out and I'm waiting to play it until i need it
If you're looking for more like it, Gris is on sale for 1.50 right now on steam. Beautiful game with similar themes.
Looked through all of my games on Steam Deck and forgot I had a few. None of them I can't say I'm really interested in right now, but I'm somewhat excited about Psychonauts because I've heard good things about it.
My backlog and my library are huge so I'll choose a few (in no particular order):
- Baldur's Gate 3
- Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood
- Inscryption
- Hades
- Hollow Knight
- Outer Wilds DLC (I've been putting it off because it's supposedly scary)
- Stray
- Little Kitty, Big City
- Monster Train
- Moonstone Island
It's worth noting that the "scary" parts of the Outer Wilds DLC (are very mild, and) are not mandatory. That is to say, for the most part, if you find solving a part of the game too stressful, try approaching it differently.
I loved the base game and DLC. Should be the top of any backlog IMO.
I guess the level of scariness is subjective, at least from what I've read not everyone seems to agree that it's very mild :P But I'll definitely play it eventually, the base game is one of the best games I've ever played.
Half Life Alyx
Frog Detective 3! I absolutely loved Frog Detective 1&2 but for some reason haven't gotten around to 3.
Witcher 3.
Main backlog I actually want to play currently:
- Greedfall 2
- Cassette Beasts
- Shell Runner
- Selaco
- The entire Atelier series (Ryza 1+2, Sophie 1+2)
- Isles of Adalar (note that this game's development is on-hold currently)
- Construction Simulator 3
- Dishonored 1+2
- Monomyth
If you can't tell from Isles of Adalar and Monomyth, any game that looks like a Morrowind knock-off is a high priority for me. :P
In reality though, I'll just play more Avorion and Starsector.
Do yourself a favor and stop putting off Cassette Beasts. Every time I play it, I am gobstruck that an indie team made this and sells it for a fraction of the price of whatever mediocrity Pokemon is pumping out.
I could sing it's praises all day, but I'd rather just politely nudge you to push it up the list.
Animal well and wingspan. I think there are others too, despite trying hard to keep stuff in my wishlist instead of backlog.
Mostly my backlog comes from starting a game and then getting distracted by something else.
wingspan
i love both the physical and digital versions of this game. 🕊️
One of these days I'll get around to playing A Hat in Time...
You're in for a treat. Currently have some of the DLC in my backlog
Sekiro. Friends tell me it's one of the harder From Software games so I'm looking forward to die many times.
Horizon Zero Dawn, Planet of Lana
When you get around to HZD, the DLC Frozen Wilds and Horizon: Forbidden West are highly recommended. I'm halfway through the second and it's so amazing.
Get it on GOG, to avoid things like the recent shenanigans.
"what remains of edith finch" and "gone home." waiting for the right rainy day to play them.
Remnant 2. Gotta finish Cyberpunk 2077 (again) first though. The damn DLC adding extra achievements has thrown everything off!
So many... My backlog is big but I've been trying to work my way through it. Currently on my mind though is octopath 2, Grime, Ghost trick, Talos principal, and the trails games
There's way too much stuff in there, but as of right now I think it's Mechanicus, and the Serious Sam HD remasters, thanks to a recommendation in another thread just now. I also have a couple interesting demos I downloaded. The problem is, I haven't played anything from my Steam at all in the past month or so. Everything I've been gaming has been outside of it.
Also hilariously, these Serious Sam games were the literal first games I bought when I created my Steam account and I never played through them. They were an impulse buy from a friend's recommendation back in the day but I wasn't as into boomer shooters as I am now.
Oooh tough question. Maybe Bioshock Infinite? I only ever played the first one but picked up the full bundle on sale on GOG last year. I have to get through 2 first which has put me off a bit since it's a big time commitment.
