Playing:
Nothing

Backlog:
Nothing

Getting this year:
Nothing

Looking forward next year:
Nothing

Will probably buy next year:
Nothing , depends on prices on sales

I refuse to pay more than 30€ for a game and devs nowadays seem to prefer not to sell than lower prices, even on sales (example: Baldur's Gate, released 2 years ago and the max price drop it had was 20€ on sale, or Astro Bot, released 1 year ago and only had a 10€ drop on sale) .
 
Battlefield 6
Football Manager 26
EAFC 26
Blood: Refreshed Supply
Warhammer: ChaosBane

In the winter months, I like to cozy on the sofa and play some older titles as titles. Might start up Doom 3 again.

Also, around Christmas it's family game night, so that'll probably be some local couch multiplayer games like Golf With Your Firends, Ultimate Chicken Horse and Diablo 3.
 
Probably trying to tackle the backlog, and possibly more of the gems from the PS3 era- ie Alpha Protocol, Spec Ops the Line, Starhawk...(as I passed them by at the time of their release)

How about Silksong?
20€
 
Gamepass - Just about anything that seems interesting, after getting it to show in the Playnite menu it's easier to just hit install and play.
Silksong - will finish it or rage quit.
The Outer Worlds 2 - not sure about this
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 - SP campaign
Ninja Gaiden 4 - looks chaotic but I'll try it.
Assassin's Creed - either Mirage or Unity.
Metroid Prime 4 - it's been a long wait…
Shooter 2 - final stretch to finish it
Oblivion Remaster - maybe during Christmas
 
Outer Worlds 2, Ninja Gaiden 4, Metroid Prime 4, Mina the Hollower, Eternal life of Goldman (hopefully this year), Ghost 2 and a hell of a back catalog. My Steam library is stacked with games I haven't gotten to yet.

Currently playing:

Silksong
Stalker Shadow of Chenoble
Mario Kart World

Games to buy in 2025:

Ghost of Yotei
Metroid Prime 4
Astrobot
Donkey Kong Bananza
Octopath Traveler 0
Mina the Hollower (if it comes out this year)
 
Hell of a backlog. I keep telling myself that I wouldn't buy anymore games until I finish all the games I recently bought.

Ghost of Yotei
Digimon Storytime stranger
Armor core 6
Silent Hill F
Super Mario Galaxy 1&2

Then I go and buy Battlefield 6 which got me hook so it's going to take a while, but I intended to complete them all.
 
Hoping to finish off:

Ericksholm
Ghost of Yotei
Silent Hill F
Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 replay

Mina The Hollower and Metroid Prime 4 are the only unreleased games I'll still get.

Wondering if Legends ZA will be good but I have no faith.

New Terminator game was another one but the delays are annoying me.

I just preordered Pokémon Legends: Z-A, even though I'm still playing through Final Fantasy Tactics.

I was going to pass, but it looks like a lot of fun.
 
Just bought:
-Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles

Probably going to buy:
-Doom the Dark Ages (on Steam since I beat it on Gamepass)

Waiting for:
-Warframe and Soulframe updates
-Total War: Warhammer III DLC
-Whenever Death Stranding 2 comes to PC

Man, what happened to me? I'm probably forgetting some games but it can't be that many. I started telling myself "Beat the games you have first." which has reduced how much money I waste on new games. I got some "big deal" "big game" stuff in my backlog though.

I really need to beat Final Fantasy Tactics. I've been meaning to for DECADES now, lol

I'll try beating it by New Year's Day. New goal!
 
Right now, I'm mostly playing on the Nintendo Switch 2: DK Bananza, Mario Kart World, and Balatro. Sometimes I play Mario Party Jamboree with my family. On PC, I'm playing Metaphor.

After I finish one of these, I'll probably go back to Silksong. I bought it and played quite a bit at first out of pure hype, but then I decided to return to what I was playing before it skipped the line lol

Also, I got really interested in online casino games, especially slots, and I want to explore more until the end of the year. I also have other games, which I mentioned, but I still try to find some time to play slots. And there are so many of them, and it's not always easy to find a reliable casino. So that I can spend some time reading reviews and some other info. This page https://oncasinos.ca/ has been the most helpful so far, and provided me a lot of info about the best online casinos in Ontario. And now it's easier to choose where to play, and I try to explore different sites, not just one.
I also play Absolum, and I like the game so far. And can say that Xenoblade Chronicles X is a great choice.

Want to Play from Library:
Galaxy
Snake Eater Remake

Maybe Picking Up by 2026:
Arc Raiders

Not a lot, but I don't really have time lately.
 
this year
- ER DLC
- Plat'd elden ring
- Valheim to the end
- finally revisiting FF7 on my new gaming PC, 9800x3D 5070Ti (didn't beat it on PS5)
 
I have a ton of games on my list, but Pokémon Legends: Z-A has me hooked and I really wanna finally beat Final Fantasy Tactics (I'm on Chapter 1).

These might take me through the rest of the year…

If I beat one of them, or get super bored, then maybe I'll get Dragon Quest 1&2 or Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter.

Metroid Prime 4 and MK Legacy Collection are must buys, though.

Too many games!
 
Trying to clean up my backlog. I managed to get my 100th platinum trophy two days ago, 101-110 will be just games I already started.

Arc Raiders is the only new game I'll be playing. Still playing THE FINALS for my multiplayer shooter fix as well as Titan Quest 2 whenever they add more content. Might even look at doing another run through Disco Elysium as it's been a while.

Switch 2- mario kart world, Kirby Air-Riders,
Donkey Kong Bananza, Metroid 4, Marvel Cosmic Invasion, SpongeBob: Titans of the Tide, Mario Galaxy 2, Star Wars Outlaws

PS5 Pro
Kingdom Come 2, death stranding 2, ghost of yotei, hitman psvr2, alien rogue incursion, thief vr, Arc Raiders, Dying Light: The Beast, Metal Gear, Borderlands 4, Battlefield 6, little nightmares 3, Vampire: Bloodlines 2, Where Winds Meet, Skate

Along with a brand new OLED tv to play it all on.
That's awesome but Spongebob on Sw2 isn't great. Just checked out fhd demo
 
Just preordered Dragon Quest 1&2.

I miiiight pick up Mortal Kombat: Legacy Collection. This might be it for me, other than Metroid Prime 4.

Everything else is gonna have to wait for a sale.
