2017. Another year of 'what I played'

This year I limited it to games I played that came out in 2017.

As it turns out that's not much.

Doing this list every year is a good point of reflection. Growing up I played most major games released and considered being a gamer a core part of my identity. Now, I am someone who likes games and obsesses about other stuff. That's not a statement about games, but about who I am at this moment.

I wonder what next year's list will look like.

Life Is Strange: Before the Storm

1. Life Is Strange: Before the Storm

I really liked the first game so this was s shoe in. I would have not though another game could be made in this universe but I am glad I was wrong. This game and the predecessor are also somewhat responsible for my current clothes.

Heat Signature

2. Heat Signature

A great 6 hours, an ok 10 hours. I would like to thank this game for turning me onto the CnC podcast. I really like Tom Francis, and the podcast shows how we have very different ideas about what a video games should be. I also wish this game, but what little it does have it good.

Divinity: Original Sin II

3. Divinity: Original Sin II

I didn't finish this one but I liked playing it. I don't think I like turn-based combat. Playing on a lower difficulty makes the combat quicker but highlighted how little I like it. Play the first zone, it shows everything I like about Divinity and everything I don't.
