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.

Aragami is a stealth game, set in Japan, in which you play an assassin summoned from death to put right a terrible injustice.
Your powers come from staying the shadows, allowing you to teleport from shadow to shadow, with your power levels indicated by a design that lights up on your cloak.
I am traditionally terrible at stealth games, and I got stuck on the second level, restarting multiple times before deciding it was time to call it a night.
I suspect, however, this may be due to my overall state of weariness.
There's a definite rush of adrenaline as you teleport into a shadow behind one of the bad guys, assassinate them, and them teleport away into another shadow, but I just couldn't seem to press the right buttons at the right time.
