What is on your to-play list for 2024?

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?

As a guy with a lot of real life commitements, I'm hoping I'll get through:

  • Death Stranding
  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • Half Life: Alyx
  • Titanfall 2

... and some recent shorter indies. But if I even finish one of the abovementioned games, I'll be happy.

I would recommend starting with Titanfall 2. The story is linear and doesn't take a super long time to complete but you get a strong consistent feeling of progression that's quite rewarding

Haven't played Alyx but thought all of the others were excellent. Should be able to get through Titanfall 2, it's pretty short!

So I've heard! Waiting for that kind of Sunday, so I can sit down and do a focused play through. How long do you reckon it is?

howlongtobeat.com says 6 hours for the main story, which sounds about right to me. Maybe on the low end.

I've started Death Stranding a few days ago. I played ~ 10 hours and it's pretty fun.

Yes! I've done the opening mission where you head for the incinerator, and there something about this game that makes me bot being able to stop thinking about it.

I don't think I'll be able to drop +30 hours into it, but I'm very keen to play it some more.
