Oh, and so many more. My wishlist is overflowing, Santa!
What's on the top of your most-wanted?
If you could get just ONE game this holiday season, what would it be?
New or old, doesn't matter. Whether it's an old classic you never got
your chance to play, or the latest release (or even some game just
announced that won't actually be out for a year or three), which games
tops your list?

Given the nature of the newsgroup, obviously PC games are preferred,
but so long as you limit it to digital games (no tabletop here, but
arcade machines are fine ;-), we wanna hear it.
So, this is a tough one for me, since most games I WANT I usually get
in short order. A month ago, "Mechwarrior 5: Clans" probably would
have topped that list. Then I bought it (and played it), so it got
bumped.
Of those that are left, well, I have a hard time choosing, so I'm
going to immediately break my own rules about it being ONE game and
offer a selection.
- "Kingdom Come: Deliverance II" is definitely up there, even
though I know very little about the game other than I quite
enjoyed the original.
- "Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024", even though right now it's
just too buggy and expensive for a game I know I won't play
very much.
- The next five years of expansions for "American Truck
Simulator" rank pretty highly. I want to roam the entire
country and waiting for the next state to drop every other
month is /agonizing/
- Oh, and "Bedlam 2: Absolute", a sequel to 1996 DOS shooter
which apparently came out but there's very little information
about the game and I've never seen it. There's a gap in my
collection. It hurts, it hurts!

Oh, wow. That is incredibly old-school. It looks a bit more like
classic "Might & Magic" to me than "Wizardry", though. I mean, it has
an outdoors! Although I guess Wizardry did get an outdoors in the
later iterations. Still, I always associate it with dark dungeons
first and foremost.
As fond as I am of games like "Dragon Wars", "Bards Tale" and "Might & >Magic", I happily dropped tile-based CRPGs as soon as the alternatives
became available. The stepped-based movement always rubbed me the
wrong way. I never really felt an urge to go back.
You probably know about this one already, but if not, take a look at
Islands of the Caliph; it's probably up your alley >https://store.steampowered.com/app/1845670/Islands_of_the_Caliph/
It's no longer on my wishlist. And not because I decided I didn't want
it anymore. ;-P
Looking back over 2024 I enjoyed Puzzle Agent and Puzzle Agent 2 by
Telltale Games the most. Some fond memories playing with the family.
Looking through their catalogue I'd probably select Sam & Max, since we
also liked the original Hit the Road. Perhaps Wolf Among Us.

The Wolf Among Us is my favourite of the Telltale story/adventure games.
A lot of that has to do with the setting of fairytale characters that
live amongst us. There's just something I really like about it. The good thing is that there's supposed to be a sequel coming out sometime next
year. Finger crossed we don't end up with a repeat of New Tales From the Borderlands!
