Glad to see some stuff like Night in the Woods (still have to finish it) and What Remains of Edith Finch getting some love

As of this very moment, I'm still flip-flopping on #1, so their tied for the moment, but otherwise...

• 1. Nier: Automata
• 1. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
• 3. Persona 5
• 4. Nioh
• 5. What Remains of Edith Finch

This is basically how I feel on this one. I would also add that, personally, I'm reading reviews less often than I used too. I get a general consensus of the game from scores, impressions, videos, etc. and then I'll figure out where I'll go from there. I'll find myself going back to a review after I've finished a game to see what others said. Or there's the scenario of me really wanting to check out a review or a piece on a game because "X" person wrote it, and I'm more interested in their take overall. Again, personally, I don't think it's such a big thing.

@vanek@slasktotten oh dang, thanks for the heads up, appreciate it. Gonna hold off for now.

I don't have a great laptop so I don't think I'll be able to run this game on there, but I was hoping I'd be able to check it out on my PS4. The thing is, I haven't really heard any word on how that version is so I'm a little hesitant to snag it there. Was wondering if anyone has had any hands on with the PS4 version and if so, how is it on there?

Phew, been a busy year so far, but doing better than last year as far as beating games. Even on par to maybe hit 52 this year, we'll see...

Keeping progress over here. Anyway, here's what I've got so far:

1. Owlboy
2. Burnout Paradise
3. SUPERHOT
4. Pokemon Moon
5. Dishonored 2
6. Dust: An Elysian Tail
7. Batman: The Telltale Series
8. Thirty Flights of Loving
9. Gravity Bone
10. Cibele
11. Nioh

As far as currently playing:

• Resident Evil 7- Going through that slowly with friends
• Night in the Woods- Just picked that up, hoping to get to that this weekend or during Zelda breaks
• (Also, eagerly awaiting Zelda on Friday, haven't been this excited for a game in a long time)

Hmm, really interesting, and I'm right there with you, the Sly series is one of my favorites. For me, I find that those games have this particular allure. There's that cool sense of style that permeates throughout the whole series, that personally, I haven't really found in another game (I did get a flashback to Sly while playing Dishonored 2. Before a mission starts it gives a very similar briefing to when you get to a new zone in a Sly game.). Not only that, but while they had relatively easy platforming and combat, they had a particular feel and were quite rewarding. Which I found made them quite friendly to revisit over the years. Now I'm going to have to do a run of Sly 2 this weekend.

Definitely looking forward to Horizon and Nier, especially after that demo. Also, hoping for some news on Night in the Woods and Tacoma. Could have sworn I read NITW is due out in February and Tacoma sometime in either Q1/Q2.

@mrfluke: thanks for the recomendation, to be honest I've never heard of it. Plus thanks for letting me know about the sale, I had no idea it was going on.

@corevi: after hearing Patrick talk about Danganronpa during the GOTY talks that was one I was considering, thanks for the recommendations!

@frostyryan: glad to hear some positive words about Tearaway, haven't done much research on it, gonna add it to my list
