A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I know we're already in February, but what are you looking forward to playing this year?

I am currently limited to my PS4 and an older laptop as far as big-screen gaming is concerned, and I am going to be playing some sequels:

  • The Witcher II - The 3rd part is more famous but I hear 2 has the better story. I am also one of those who really enjoyed part 1!
  • Pillars of Eternity 2 - the first one was so good I can't wait
  • Red Dead Redemption II - which I got for my birthday. It is absolutely HUGE. RDR1 is in my all-time favorite games list.

As for handheld gaming, I have recently gotten a Nintendo DS Lite and a PSP so I will be playing some:

  • Deadeus - a 2D horror game that someone recommended on this thread

  • Final Fantasy Tactics funnily enough, I never played this! I did enjoy the GBA version a lot though.

  • Jeanne D'Arc apparently it is one of the PSP's best titles.

As someone with a lot of IRL obligations, I will be very happy if I make it through this list.

What is on your list?

Going to try to do more patient gaming this year after last year a certain popular RPG grabbed me for hundreds of hours. I've got Atelier Ayesha on deck and thinking about Tokyo Xanadu.

Also considering:

  • Horizon Zero Dawn: the Frozen Wilds
  • Live a Live
  • Midnight Suns
  • Ys IX: Monstrum Nox

Plus a VN, I think. Either Phoenix Wright: Spirit of Justice or Higurashi (which I started but hasn't grabbed me yet). And here's hoping OP that you starting Final Fantasy Tactics manifests a remaster finally.
