A Z-A of... Ztuff I Haven't Played Yet

by mento

Hola, GB. This is like the other A-Z list, but in a different direction. I'm reversing it up because these are games I haven't played but someday want to. Either they're on the backlog already and I'm just procrastinating over them (and when you're procrastinating about something you do for fun, that's a new hallmark in laziness) or I haven't purchased a copy as of yet.

Anyway, point is, everyone has a "games I want to play" list and that seems like a perfectly justifiable reason to make one of my own. Because damn right I would jump off a bridge if everyone else was doing it.

(I've modernized the list for 2017/2018! Completing most of these might actually be a reasonable goal.)

Showing 1-10 of 26 items

Zwei: The Arges Adventure

1. Zwei: The Arges Adventure

I've been revitalizing my Z-A list of Ztuff, chasing off the 2010-2013 games I'm probably not going to get around to. Just current-gen and bucket list ztuff from here on out. Including this, the first game in Falcom's more jokey Zwei series. I'd pretty much play anything Falcom at this point.

Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles

2. Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles

Distressingly, there are no extant Ys or Yakuza games that I have yet to play. One will be along shortly, I'm sure, so until then this bucolic life-sim from 2017 will keep its spot warm.

XCOM 2

3. XCOM 2

Conveniently, I completed Xenoblade Chronicles 2 around the time I bought the expansion for XCOM 2 so I'll be getting back into hiding behind lampposts and missing 90%-certain shots any day soon.

World's End Club

4. World's End Club

Folks are getting excited for a new game from the Danganronpa devs (Rain Code) so it might be time to visit their last, slightly more divisive attempt to break away from the teens murdering teens genre with this game, about... I guess a bunch of teens get murdered here too. I'll give it a shot anyway.

Vampyr

5. Vampyr

I've liked all of DONTNOD's games in the past, even if Vampyr's a bit more muted in its reception. I'm definitely curious about it, just waiting until it's cheap enough to sweep up.

Underworld Ascendant

6. Underworld Ascendant

I'll admit to being morbidly curious about what they did to UU, especially after so many revisions to a state of near-competency. I'll check it out for old times' sake one of these days.

Tales of Xillia 2

7. Tales of Xillia 2

This is the Tales slot and Xillia 2 is the only one I own that I've yet to play. It'll mean pulling out the old PS3 again, but I'm sure it still has the juice for a couple more JRPG playthroughs. (I'll find a way to play Legendia or Hearts R for the next Tales after this, unless another a new one comes out.)

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

8. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

I don't think I'm ever going to get tired of these games, even one that lacks RPG elements. Just in case I change my mind about the latter at the last moment though, this spot is also for The Surge 2.

Risen 3: Titan Lords

9. Risen 3: Titan Lords

The Risen games have an unhealthy dose of jank behind them, but I enjoyed the first two regardless and suspect that I'll at least find something I like about the third.

Quest for Glory

10. Quest for Glory

Still aren't a whole lot of options for Q, unless I'm interested in Quantum Break and I can tell you that I am not. Since it's been decades, I've already bought this set on GOG and I'm back on the point and click wagon anyway, might as well put this series here.
