I’ve fallen into a deep gaming rut lately. What helped “get you back into” gaming and rediscover the magic of video games?

  • I am going through such phases every now and then. Whenever I want to get back into gaming, I either start with some game I really want to play or one of the best or most critically acclaimed games. I don't just play any game. Take a look at metacritic top 100 (or any good list) take your pick and give it a try. Most often you end up playing one of the best games ever and that leaves you craving for more.

    How do you go about clearing your backlog?

  • I maintain a TODO list (with tags) on GoG Galaxy and a wishlist on Steam. Whenever I want to play something new, I scroll through the TODO list and usually find a few games that I feel like playing at that moment. I hit install on a few of them, and play whatever installs first. After an hour or two, I get a feeling about the game, and decide: finish or uninstall it and remove it from TODO, or just uninstall it for another time and leave it in TODO. I rarely finish a game and put it in favorites, which I often replay. I only buy things from wishlist, if that is really what I want to play or there is a big discount. I never pre-order and I never buy impulsively.

    what games are you looking forward to this year?

  • Starfield and CP2077PL. Not at a launch date though. I will wait a week or so after they are released for those urgent patches to land. I am expecting both to be a buggy mess.
