One of my children got me The Coffin of Andy and Lelyey for Christmas, so that’s in progress. Finally downloaded Alan Wake 2 (which I’ve been eagerly anticipating forever) since it was on sale, so that’s on deck.

I think the only game I played last year that actually came out in 2023 was Diablo 4 and I refuse to call that my favorite. (I did play most of the old Shadowrun games though and enjoyed them immensely.)

Oh, I’d forgotten about Secret World! It looks like it’s been updated to Secret World Legends – might have to give that a try.

I’ve been playing Diablo 4 this week; I can’t even begin to tell you how many gleeful hours I put into Diablo 2 back in the day, but this one is feeling more like a chore than fun. There’s a part of me that wants to just grind out to 100 to get there but I recognize sunk-cost fallacy when I see it, so I’m at least taking a break for a while.

A friend gifted me Nancy Drew: Curse of Blackmoor Manor during the Steam sale so that’s probably on the menu for this weekend. My 12-year-old has played a couple from that series and enjoyed the puzzles so I’ll see if they want to play it with me. I also picked up the stealth puzzle game Gunpoint and am looking forward to giving that a go.
