So, I’m trying to make sure my Steam Wishlist from 2024 (April-December) is small enough that I can play. I have about 250 hours at most (after repeatedly raising the limit).

Does anyone here have strong thoughts about any of these games that can help me decide? I’m in no rush to finish (since I’m a moderately patient gamer) but I figured some people here would have useful opinions.

Maybe one of these games has problematic developers, or maybe they’re just boring.

Please let me know if you have any thoughts.

    Why remove them? If they look good enough to buy, do it, and get around to the others eventually.

      These are just the ones released this year. Next year there’ll be more. And there are games from last year I haven’t gotten to (and the classics on top of that). Leaving the list too big means I miss a lot of them and the ones I do play would be based on gut instinct.

      Perhaps at this point there’s no better option than gut instinct, now that I’ve exhausted basically all other criteria. I guess there are more fundamental questions I should be asking myself about how to handle the post-scarcity world of art.

        Yup. Personally now that I’m an adult and have Responsibilities, I spend less time playing games. I hardly even follow new games coming out, and just work on recommendations from friends, or stuff from developers whose games I’ve enjoyed in the past.

          I’m into discovering those unexpected hidden gems, but I’m also into those recommendations and those Zachtronics or Bennett Foddy games. Combined with my limited time … I think I’m gonna have to “kill my darlings” … and of course I can’t even imagine doing that which is probably why I’m so stuck in life.
