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.)

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.

That’s two votes for Godot – we’ll take a look into that!
