2022 Games Played
2021 was an interesting year for my personal gaming. I played the fewest games last year since 2015 and that is including the classic games I played on my new emulator. For the first time ever, I am only carrying over 1 game into the new year.
I am not looking forward to too many games this year with Warhammer 3 and Starfield topping the list. Warhammer 3 could very well be my forever game by combining the maps from Warhammer 1 and 2. As for Starfield, I'm more than ready for an epic Bethesda RPG as long as it doesn't take after the recent Fallout games. I am also looking forward to whatever is being added to Cyberpunk 2077.
In 2022, I am looking forward to playing some classics that I never played before on my new emulator. My plan is to make this year the year of the classic game by playing games that I never got to play as a kid. When I say that I missed some of the greatest games of all time, I am talking about - Link to the Past, Dragon Warrior, Breath of Fire, Seiken Densetsu 3, Mother 3, Shining Force, Final Fantasy 4-12, and Parasite Eve. It will be interesting to see if these all time great games hold up since I'll be playing them for the first time in 2022. Along with these games I haven't played before, I am itching to see how my favorites like Blood Omen and Shadowrun (Genesis) hold up. I've been losing interest in modern games anyway.
My 2022 prediction is that I will play more classic games this year than new releases along with the usual backlog grind. I also intend to replay some modern classics such as Witcher 3 (again), Pillars of Eternity 2 and finally finishing the Yakuza series (4, 5, 6) and then replaying Yakuza LAD.
