I've reached a point in #QuantumBreak in which the game deliberately (?) doesn't have checkpoints and will make you replay 10 minutes or more of gameplay if you die.
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.

I'm in two minds about games that use the likeness of the actor they mocapped as the in-game character.
Having actors performing the lines and playing the part generally brings something extra to a game that's missing when it's the devs and their friends doing the voices.
However, if you already associate the actor with something else, it can be somewhat distracting. It's a fine balance.
I went into Quantum Break almost completely blank. Two things occurred:
1: "Oh, it's that guy, from the thing, and the other thing!" (Shawn Ashmore, X-Men, The Boys)
2: "This feels a bit like Control."
With good reason; turns out that Quantum Break was the game Remedy released before Control.
I'm a big time travel nerd. If it involves time travel, I'll get into it, and can get lost thinking about implications and causality.
This is a third-person action/adventure-kind-of-shooter, by Remedy, involving time travel. So far, I'm really enjoying it, and just wish I hadn't waited so long to play it.
...and apparently there are TV episodes involved somehow? I guess I have to keep playing.
