Now here's a #game on #steam I'm looking forward to. More #4x is always good in my book. Let's hope this turns out well, but best we manage our expectations.
I'm not one for "New Year's resolutions", but I am one for overly ambitious projects.
For 2023, Project365 is "One New Game Per Day".
Given that I have 634 unplayed games in my Steam account and {mumble} unredeemed bundle Steam keys, there's a reason my unplayed collection is tagged "Pile of Shame".
I'll pin this to my profile, and give a brief summary here each day (or x, if I miss x days due to work or stuff).
I'll play 15-30 minutes of (at least) one new game I've never played before (or played less than 15 minutes of). I'll give every game at least 15 minutes, even if I hate every minute of it.
I'm also open to suggestions; if you reply to this thread with a game, I'll schedule it, or tell you what I thought of it.
One of the things that's come up is that I have a bunch of games that I've played once, and not touched again.

Starpoint Gemini Warlords is part third-person space combat, part 4X strategy, and part RPG.
I'm unable to review the 4X strategy & RPG elements, because I couldn't get past the utterly dire ship controls.
Going into the game blank, I had no idea it had space combat elements, which is pretty much "OK, joystick time".
I tried using the keyboard controls, and the ship handled like a stoned snail. Switched over to the Xbox controller, and that was actually worse, because while the ship still seemed to be handling like a stoned snail with the left stick, the right stick had the camera whipping around like a hummingbird on speed.
I went into the options to try and see if I could adjust the settings, and with the controller turned on, it just completely blacked out the options, so it's buggy too.
After 15 minutes of fighting with the game to try and get it to the point it was somewhat playable, I pulled the pin.
There might be a reasonable game buried under all that hassle, but am I going to put any more time into Starpoint Gemini Warlords to try and find it?
Played my first real game of Sins of a Solar Empire II last night, and it’s quite good!
Much like the original but with some important gameplay tweaks. And I still appreciate Sins’ unique no-nonsense take on the 4x genre. #4x#sinsofasolarempire#strategy

I'm really not convinced it does anything particularly well, but it also isn't bad. It hits the "one more turn" feeling, but it's also off. The art and music direction just doesn't hit the right tones with me.
Playing as Clan government with an #rpg flavor on #ironman - no min/maxing! Beginner's are super welcome, I am happy to explain the game, mechanics, tactics, etc.
