I bought Factorio like four years ago. I'm just waiting for a six-month period in my life where I can do nothing but play that game, because I know that as soon as I start it, that's what the next six months of my life will be.
Persona 5 looks amazing. So does dragon quest 11. I must play all games In a series in order. Its... and autistic thing I think but like, I really can't bring myself to play a game if I haven't played the previous... so persona itself was a spin off of the main shinmegami tensei series, which itself was a continuation of the megami tensei games. I played and beat megami tensei 1, megami tensei 2, and am currently playing shin megami tensei. The original persona was a bit hard to get into but now that I've played the predecessor I'm looking forward to playing it properly after I finish shin megami tensei 1 and 2, I think that's about the time persona started. Shin megami tensei 3 nocturn also looked cool and I'll be ready to play that one as well after SMT2. Soul Hackers 2 looks cool too but I have to play devil Summoner first which doesn't have an English translation, so I'm having to play it with Google lens which is slow going cause my Japanese isn't really that good.
I'm also a completionist... playing dragon quest 5 currently and I'm in the final dungeon and only have TWO monsters to catch but goddammit the Hyperanemon just WILL NOT JOIN ME. I've spent something like 12 hours trying to get him. Probably more. I sat on the entire plane ride from Baltimore to LA for 5 hours grinding the same battle over and over and didn't get him, and also watched several marvel movies. Frustrating... but everything I think, just go beat the game and move on, I'm like, but this is the second to last monster and I'll have them ALL.
Edit: God I wasted so much time. Thinking about it again, I did a search and found out you can't catch the Hyperanemon on Mt. Zugzwang, only in the post game dungeon. Fml.
Last of Us (both) for me. I am extremely scared of playing it but watched someone playing on YT without commentary. The narrative is truly amazing.
Also my spouse is playing Silent Hill 3 after finishing 1 and 2 and I also loved him playing those!
Starwars 1313. The fact that Disney cancled it after saying they wouldn't is why I'm not playing it.
And baldur's gate 3. I just don't have the money cuz I got a lot of dentist bills coming real soon.
Guilty Gear. No particular one, but I do own Strive. The characters have a ton of personality, and the story seems like it doesn't necessarily take itself seriously, but most importantly, the soundtrack is absolutely banging. Some of the songs made it into my personal playlists. Problem is, I don't play fighting games, and even for a fighting game it seems pretty difficult.
Minecraft.
I enjoy a good builder game and 'Minecraft' seems to be among the best of them. But I reached a point of being fed up with having to sign-up for various things and creating accounts, just to be able to play a silly game, years ago. And 'Minecraft' is still, for some reason, locked behind Microsoft Account Creation.
It's the same with Obsidians 'Grounded' and X-Com 2.
And I simply refuse it.
Even more so if it requires a separate storefront launcher than the one I'm using to pop-up and launch the game. (Looking at you, 'Origins'..) That's an instant refund.
I guess Witcher 2. I've been trying to slog through Witcher 1 first when I have time, and when I'm finished that I'll jump into part 2.
pretty much a 3rd of my steam library...
If I had to pick one, maybe Kerbal Space Program
