No one here could ever have a backlog, right? ;-)

I used to play Terraria years ago, but it’s been a while! Satisfactory looks pretty interesting, but I’ve never played it.
My partner and I both have hundreds of hours in it, so that could be possible! Try not to have super high expectations for it before you start though, I wouldn’t want you to miss out on a fun game because fans hyped it beyond what it is.
That being said, both of us are pretty big fans of the game. We drove quite a distance to go to one of the Stardew Valley concerts, and it was really great. I’m not someone that likes crowds, but all the fans there were very friendly and it made for a great time.
Thanks for the recommendation! It’s not necessarily something that would jump out at me, but it seems people really like it.
I’m sure we will! I saw a list being created, so I’m sure there will be a few. I did give a warning about the infamous Steam backlog, but I don’t want to ruin the fun of a new device! So we’ll see what happens.
Not sure what platforms you have available, but it’s 30% off on the Steam summer sale!

I’m somewhat the same. Really no interest in Dark Souls/Elden Ring or any of that, but Sekiro did catch my attention before. The difficulty is a turn off though. I often play games on hard difficulty, but I prefer it to be a choice, and to be able to turn it down if it’s too difficult.
It’s sometimes fun to go back and buy those games you found years ago! When I was pretty young I couldn’t afford games and computers, so I would fix old broken computers and play mostly game demos. I got many more hours out of that than those designers probably ever imagined! Since then I’ve gone back and bought a lot of those games, and it definitely reminds me of some good times.
I’m keeping an eye on it as well, but I’m waiting for a major price drop/bigger sale. Divinity Original Sin 2 didn’t really click with me, and BG3 reminds me of it a little too much. Fantasy isn’t really my favorite setting, so it may just not be the game for me.
It sounds like you’ve got a plan! Once I get all the bills paid for this month I’m planning to get my partner a Steam Deck as well, so both of us are looking at games. They’re a Harry Potter fan, so Hogwarts Legacy is one that came up on the list.
I know the feeling of getting sidetracked by old favorites! I run into that with Morrowind as well as Stardew Valley, The Sims, Farming Simulator and a few others!
Enjoy your new computer! There’s some good games that came out in that time period, so you’ll have plenty to enjoy. You’ll probably get some really good prices on some of them too!
Yeah, you don’t want to stack up too many! I’ve got some in my queue until I feel like playing them, but I’ve started moving more toward just buying a game when I want to play it rather than stacking a bunch up during sales.
I too have a backlog, but it’s fairly small. I tend to play genres of games by spells, so I often have a few of each type in my queue for the day I’m interested in that kind. While I don’t force myself to finish a game I don’t like, I do try to keep the number of unplayed games low!
I often find myself looking at some of the PlayStation games, but I often find myself disappointed once I start playing them. The main series of the former exclusives that I like is Uncharted, but many of the others I’ve just lost interest in after a few hours. That being said, Uncharted games are very short, so maybe I just don’t like most long games anymore! Uncharted 4 and The Lost Legacy were both a lot of fun though.
I’ve had that game on my wishlist for years now! 😂 I enjoy that style of game, but all I end up doing is building roller coasters, so I end up sticking with things like Planet Coaster instead. I have definitely spent some time on OpenRCT2 though, so maybe I should give it a try.
Icarus is one that’s caught my attention a couple of times, but I’ve never bought it. I don’t do a lot of co-op or multiplayer in general, but it does look interesting.
I generally do a fair amount of debating like that too. I don’t like wasting money, even when something is heavily discounted!
They certainly have a sizeable catalog to choose from!
You’re in the right community for that!
I do enjoy that type of game by spells, so I might have to get it the next time I’m in the mood for that! It does look interesting.
