Since this week has been comparatively gradual (for me, as I didn’t attend CES), and within the curiosity of holding issues lighthearted, let’s discuss what we’re going to do as avid gamers in 2023. I’ll begin — listed here are the issues I plan to do that 12 months to higher myself as a gamer and author.
First decision: I’ll try to work my method by means of not less than my 2022 backlog. If you learn my checklist final week, you understand there are a number of 2022 titles I didn’t get the possibility to play. But final 12 months I additionally had pesky private issues to do like get married, which reduce down on doable recreation time. So this 12 months, let’s see if we will’t chisel off extra of that to lastly play The Mortuary Assistant. Okay, I’m joking, however significantly, I don’t like lacking main video games. It cuts down on my literacy as a video games author and provides me FOMO.

I shall try to submit extra about what I’m enjoying on social media and I’ll additionally attempt to stream. I shall additionally — shiver — try to play extra multiplayer titles.

That’s all I’ve received (not less than so far as gaming goes), but when anybody else is making game-related resolutions, be at liberty to drop me a line on Twitter. Might as nicely get began on the second decision instantly.
On a (extra) private observe, I’m already making some headway on constructing my video games checklist for 2023. I do know of not less than one new recreation that launched on New Year’s Day.
