This january and februari are nuts. So many games I'm interested in, so little time. The Witness, Dragon's Dogma, Firewatch, Darkest Dungeon, XCOM 2, Unravel, Street Fighter V, Oxenfree, Fire Emblem Fates.. Can we get a GOTQ1 award podcast?
I'm getting The Witness and SFV as I feel those are the games where getting in at day 1 is most valuable to me. For The Witness, I want to be there for the collective note-sharing puzzle journey. For SFV, I hope I won't get my ass handed to me quite as hard if I start alongside other newcomers, rather than join in months later.
