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.
Timberborn is an "oh no what have I done reality" game (TIL there's not really an antonym for simulator).
Technically, Timberborn is a "lumberpunk" city-building strategy management game in a post-apocalyptic Earth devoid of humans.
In practice, Timberborn is regret*-generator that will eat up your time, until you look up from the monitor and realise you should have been in bed two hours ago. In my case, three and a half hours.
You control a colony of beavers. BEAVERS! They're adorable and whimsical, and they build stuff, and you can build more stuff, and then extend, and then plant trees, and dear me, this just made me want to keep playing.
I had this on my wishlist for a while, and then it came up on special, and then it was even cheaper on Humble, and it was worth every penny of the A$23.50 I paid for it.
