I know very little about 40k or Warhammer in general, but want to give Rogue Trader a shot. I've read a bunch of positive comments about the game, but since it's Owlcat, I'll wait some months for patches to fix the game.

I finished Octopath Traveler. Same as last week, it’s really mediocre, most of the stories are boring and some are really bad, because your party basically doesn’t exist anymore, once you’ve started a chapter with a character. I just played through the character stories and didn’t do the omega secret true final boss whatever.

Edit: no ultrawide support, but there is a patch / trainer, but it messes up the UI a bit (not an issue 90% of the time). It runs perfectly on an OLED Steam Deck, locked 60fps, at highest settings.

Then I started Tunic a few days ago. You know about that story, how FromSoftware’s Miyazaki apparently made the Souls games the way they are, because he’d play games as a kid without understanding the language, so he had to just figure stuff out? That’s Tunic. The game is mainly Zelda, of course some Souls-like elements (can’t miss those in modern games) and in the end it’s also The Witness. I just beat the game and got the normal ending (maybe bad ending), but you also get a game over screen and are told you can try again for another path. I did find a lot of stuff, but I don’t know if I have it in me to go for the true ending or something all by myself. This means I’ll probably look stuff up, so I’m not sitting around for hours.

Edit: like Octopath, no ultrawide, but I haven't looked for patches. Runs well on the Steam Deck, but needed to turn down settings a notch, otherwise it felt a bit choppy, even at 60fps.

If that's your argument, why do you care about the choice of pronouns? How does it affect you?

Last I read, the performance improvements are mainly related to ReBAR, which you could have manually activated before. A noticeable improvement, but not what some people might have expected or wanted.

For the best experience, and if you're only going to play through it once, Larian has released Enhanced Editions about a year after their last two releases. The same thing will probably happen here, so late next year could be good. If you play these kinds of games multiple times anyway, then it doesn't really matter. Even in the current state, it's an incredible game, so just go for it whenever.

They weren't able to get HYPR-RX out in time, which is just a switch to toggle a bunch of other switches, so I'm only gonna believe it when I see it.

The price already increased, and justified it with rising component prices, so why not do it again?

Frog Detective 3 and Crisis Core Remaster, probably.

I'm a bit bummed because the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters aren't on sale, but I have no problem waiting.

There aren't a lot of games I'm really interested in, that I don't have already or aren't still relatively new or in Early Access, so they don't get a huge discount anyway.

I watched a stream of this game, when it first got into Early Access, and the diving parts looked fun, but I was kinda meh about the other stuff around it. I might still check it out myself eventually though.

Ah yes, those sleeper hits, that got extended trailers on the biggest shows. These are truly hidden gems, that nobody heard of.

I know most people don't actually watch the showcases, but calling them "sleeper" just seems dumb. Might as well put Starfield on that list.

With friends, it'd probably be World of Warcraft. I already have 20k+ hours in the game, and would likely play it even now, if Blizzard wasn't just complete garbage right now.

Solo, a Diablo game I think, although I don't know which. I haven't played D4 (and won't for a while, same reason as I mentioned above), I love the fast and fluid combat in D3, but D2 might have more variety.

Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin was released on Steam this year, so I guess that one. It has a ton of flaws, but even then, the combat just carries it. Compared to this and Nioh, Wo Long was a total disappointment for me.

I haven't actually played many games that were actually released this year.
