I've spent more time with a few games (as opposed to little time with many games) this year. It's mostly been a fun gaming year for me, with some new and old games coming back into rotation. How about you?
A random list, in no particular order.
Path of Exile
By far my most played game on Steam with 2371.8 hours. I got the bug bad again in one of the years this league, and spent far too much time clicking the mouse to make things go *splat*. The most recent league has not grabbed me at all, though, and I had a quick look at the league starting next week, and I don't feel like going back to it, though there's some interesting changes coming (including redoing Archemesis monsters AGAIN, buffing a number of items/melee things/curses, updating jewels to be more relevant, ...). I like playing it while listening to podcasts, but I can also burn out on it quite bad, and then take a break for months.
Elden Ring
I was initially quite excited about it, and I think it's the logical evolution of the Dark Souls formula to the next stage. I enjoyed my 50+ hours with it, but it does not gel with my playstyle much. In the previous games, I'd meticulously progress slowly, explore the environments, dispatch enemies methodically (almost like in a stealth game). It's why DS1 took me 120 hours to finish, and why DS2 and 3 with 130+ hours each are still unfinished for me. With how much larger Elden Ring is, I doubt I would finish under 4-500 hours (70-100 seems common for a first "normal" playthrough). The game has issues, but the combat remains fun, though I feel it may lean too hard into spectacle later in game. And I said after DS3 that I hoped that FromSoftware would do something other than bleak dark fantasy with decrepit castles, cemeteries, catacombs, libraries, swamps etc. ER has some absolutely spectacular environments, but I feel it can be best summarized as "Dark Souls, but much larger, with more freedom, and more tools to smoothen the difficulty curve for new players."
Final Fantasy I
It was ... ok. The story and gameplay is very basic (find thing/defeat enemy to unlock next chapter, no characterization etc.). The pixel remaster has a nerfed difficulty compared to old NES release, and I had no huge issue to complete the game, but I don't think it's aged well. I've dabbled a bit with FF2 which starts adding more actual story, but I haven't made much progress on it.
Skyrim
I've spent some hours on this, but mostly to try out Wabbajack. It's a tool that downloads and installs whole modlists for you, often with some options for customization of those lists. I gave Living Skyrim a try (which has a few hundred mods) and was surprised by how smooth the process was, though you should reserve large chunks of your hard drives. I also paid for a lifetime sub on Nexus a few years ago when I was still streaming and first started following modlists and wanted faster downloads - which speeds up the Wabbajack mod installs a lot, obviously. It's a very impressive tool. There's modlists for other games that can be installed with Wabbajack, but the huge majority of lists on its website are for Skyrim.
Old World
A pleasant surprise, though one that didn't have much staying power for me. I really enjoyed my time with it (a good 40 hours) and its mix of ancient/medieval civ game with character interactions. However, I'm not sure I like its "grab city sites" early game mechanic. It's however one of the few 4X games where I actually enjoyed playing scripted missions/campaigns.
Fire & Maneuver
A tactical game about 19th century battles. You have to buy unit packs, and it's primarily geared towards online MP. Didn't click for me - it felt a bit clunky, and the gfx were a bit too cartoony even for me. And you generally will only have a small number of units in the field. A successor to Age of Rifles this is not.
Into the Breach
Mix of tactics and puzzle game, you command mechs against monsters on an 8x8 grid. You know their next moves in advance, and you need to command your units to best prevent them from doing damage to infrastructure or buildings while navigating maps' special rules and conditions. It's a very sleek game from the makers of FTL, and I enjoyed it, but I also started feeling it became a bit tedious later on. It won game of the year from a number of sites I trust a few years back, so my opinion on that might be just me. :)
Slipways
A mix of 4X and puzzle/board game. You colonize a sector and build supply chains, following fairly basic (but in practice complex) rules. A fun time waster to play while listening to podcasts or watching a show.
Crusader Kings 3
Bought it at release, played a bit then, but only really got into it in the last few weeks, adding 200 or so hours to my play time there. :D I fired up again CK2 for comparison, but even though I miss some features from CK2 (and some that were not well implemented not at all :P ) it's hard to go back to the old one now.
Victoria 3
It's a bit of an unbalanced mess, but I think it can be shaped into a great game about the 19th century. I still hope it doesn't follow Imperator's footsteps, because I see a lot of potential in it, and I enjoy it despite its flaws (thanks to mods for now ... ). I have over 230 hours on it now (though probably 50+ are from running observer games while working from home or just trying out mods :P ). Probably my game of the year. It's of course not a blockbuster like Elden Ring or as polished as that game, but it's much more in my wheelhouse. :)
Hearts of Iron 4
While waiting for V3 I went back and gave HoI4 another try. It has a lot of good parts, but I still can't get into it quite as much as into some of Paradox's other games. I guess I'll keep trying, though.
winSPWW2 and winSPMBT
These old Steel Panthers games still get their annual patches. I gave them a try earlier this year, and they're still fun, and in 4k they look a lot better than I feared (just wish there was UI scaling ...).
Hmmm....
Civilization VI
Football Manager 2021

I've mostly fallen off of Paradox games. I'll occasionally pick up HOI IV or Stellaris, but I don't put in enough time to really say I played it rather than noodling around with mods or the setup.
I did play some PoE, but while Sentinel was a great league mechanic, I'm not feeling it for Archnemesis.
As usual I played older games for a while.
Spent some time trying "hardcore" (ghost mode) on ghost Recon Wildlands with no HUD or AI teammates.
Played a couple games of Endless Space 2.
Went back to D3 and leveled a few characters (two in Hardcore).
I bought Chaos Gate, because I like both X-Com AND 40k, so why not.
And I'm now playing Darktide, much because of the same. I immensely enjoyed Left4Dead and Vermintide, and love 40k. So yeah... So far the game seems in most aspects a step backwards from VT2, sadly. But I'm still having fun cutting down cultists and deamons.
Played a lot of ARPGs... Path, Diablo, Grim Dawn, Last Epoch. All variations on a theme. Will always have a couple of these on my hard drive.
FM21 and 22 got some play. My usual Arsenal playthrough :lol:
Paradox games of course: EU, CK, Stellaris, and now Victoria 3. Games I'll come back to for a while every year.
Old World. Great spin on 4X. Really enjoyed it.
Forza Horizon 5. Fun AAA arcade racing game. Great for a short traipse through the desert in a muscle car.
Doom Eternal. Great traditional FPS.
Hell Let Loose. My favorite "milsim" FPS because it's fairly easy to play while still having enough complexity to feel authentic.
Breath of the Wild. Another game I come back to every year.
Completed Monster Sanctuary, The Gunk, The Pedestrian & Tinykin.
Played
Monster Hunter Rise
Pokémon Scarlet
Forza Horizon 5
Floppy knights
Dicey Dungeons
Bugsnax
Garden Story
Archevale and It takes two with my son
Naheulbeuk Dungeons
No man's sky
and a couple more I forget.
Oh dear, probably 40-50 hours spread over the year, some Cvi6 and random old stuff like those Kingdom games. :blush:
World of Warcraft: I ditched earlier in the year after absolutely loathing a lot of the Shadowlands changes to lore and the expansion as a whole, but Dragonflight brought me back and I am loving it so far. I actually feel like I'm playing WoW again instead of some other game messily grafted onto WoW's story.
Europa Univeralis IV: Mindless fun that I indulged in on occasion when bored. I was loving MEIOU & Taxes, but the recent update has just made it too dense for me to enjoy anymore so I went back to the base game.
Wildermyth: Fun and engrossing fantasy adventures that I plan on diving into again some day.
Star Wars: The Old Republic: I went back for the first time since launch and... eh. The stories are good, but I play it like a solo player game as the rp community is just... non-existent from what I've seen. I might play again some day to finish off the various stories.
Diablo III: I got through a bit more of the story, but I still get bored quickly of the grind.
I no longer have much time (nor computer power) to play PC games, so it's most console now, and old games at that. I never buy games on release nowadays, only when they are on sale.
So, 2022 was mostly Dark Souls 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, Mass Effect Andromeda, the Batman Arkham games. I keep coming back to the Hitman series. I think that covers the year.
I keep wanting to play Witcher 3, but the sprawling narrative means I forget a bunch of things / leads in between play sessions, and I suck at the combat system.
No freaking time to play anymore after my father passed away. Now all the stuff he was doing is stuff I have to do in addition to all the stuff I was already doing.
Though I did play some CK2 to let off steam sometimes.
Disco Elysium Excellent
Portal 2 Started playing many years ago but just sort of dropped it. Came back to it and played it through. Aye. Its good.
Long Journey Home Seems a fun little Star Control like game but a critical game breaking bug ruined it for me.
Hades EXCELLENT. One of the best things ever.
Bastion Meh.
Surviving the Aftermath Meh. Too slow and plodding.
Per Aspera Fun little story basedcity buildery RTS thing.
Cities Skylines I really wanted to be able to build a real city. I couldn't.
Witcher 3 Finally finished.
Crusader Kings 3 Just one game. But takes forever. Its addictive but doesn't really do much CK2 didn't.

I've looked into it. Heard its not good. Very much a hack job to try and fit a square peg into a round hole. Gives you some pedestrian areas but you still have people going around with cars in their pocket and a certain style of play set as the true way to play.
We need Skylines 2 which takes a more modern approach to urban design.
This sums up my views on skylines.

It is still a fun game but not quite the true city builder I desire.

I was looking forward to that one a lot last year, but then barely played it. I played a lot of FH4, so not sure if it was a case of being tired/more of the same, or if I just liked the North English countryside better than Mexico. :hmm:

Do you think you would have liked Bastion better if you had played it first when it came out? I agree Hades is a much better game, but the basics (outside story) feel like a very refined version of Bastion to me. Though the narrator in Bastion was fun.

I keep trying Grim Dawn once a year or so (including this year), but I always tire of it so very quickly. Even when I go into it with a mindset of playing it more like a "normal" ARPG (as opposed to the PoE screen explosion clickfest) and paying attention to lore, mechanics etc., it just never clicks for me. :D

The problem for me on Grim Dawn is how much junk I have collected from previous plays, and the difficulty of sorting through it. Each time I play I think "I have a character that has the perfect item for this new character. Can I remember who it was?", then I shuffle through a couple dozen characters with only a 50/50 shot of finding it. I think it would really benefit from the seasons structure that other ARPGs adopt. For a while I even played hardcore just so my inventory/character base would be pruned.

Alternatively it might have put me off ever trying Hades.
Bastion...I think I would have liked it 20+ years ago but when it came out...it just feels so clunky, even for that time.
Yes, the narrator is good.
Rimworld: it is just so very, very good.
Victoria 3: dabbled in it a bit, waiting for the patch
Crusader Kings 3: Deus Vult!
Old World: Now this is a combat focused Civ game. Enjoyable, but the city-rush is not that convincing.
Wing Commander: What's there to say.
X-Wing Alliance - Tie Fighter remake: Sweet, but I'm not as fast as I used to be.
X-Com: 95% and still missing that shot to the face!
Xenonauts: Old school x-com
Bannerlords: enjoyable but it makes my PC run a bit hot
Songs of Syx: Citybuild with massive armies
Halo: Let's finish the fight.
Hearts of Iron 4: Let's play Germany again cause I'm scared of all the other countries.
Doom: Don't play when dark
Halcyon 6: enjoyable little gem.
Battle Brothers: A very enjoyable big gem. A must play.
Factorio: melts my brain.
Space Haven: still needs a lot of work, could be something
Per Aspera: I enjoyed that one for the story and the logistics
Ace Combat 7: Buy cheap! Fun enough.
Anno 1800: Enjoyable citybuilder and logistics simulator. Combat is anno. Looks so nice
Dyson Sphere Program: Factorio, but 3D and using an entire cluster of stars. Still a work in progress, but already melts my brain. Damn good.
Lord of the Rings Online: Lifetime subscription...
Nebuchadnezzar: Caesar 3 but in Mesopotamia, still work in progress
Odd Realm: mhh
Phoenix Point: Better than I expected, buy cheap but worth your time
Project Wingman: Surprise hit!
Star Wars Squadrons: Looks good, no X-wing though
Battlefield 3 & 4: Had some fun multiplayer there
Titanfall 2: The steam reviews are not wrong! Short but good single play, buy on sale!
Wildermyth: interesting concept
Battletech: for all your stomping needs

There is a league or seasons mod for Grim Dawn that I was playing recently. Not a huge community, maybe a few hundred people.

Skyrim and lots of it. Though I think I finally had my fill, stopping mid year or so. Mostly because I can't be bothered to update and troubleshoot mods anymore.
The Old World - really enjoyed it, but I think I'm done for now. Tried to start a couple of games recently, and it didn't catch. This is probably the only game I didn't also play in 2021.
Oriental Kingdoms - fired it up again for another playthrough. I enjoy the pacing and mechanics, though it feels very much like a last-gen game.
CK3 - recently got back into it again and am in the midst of what may be my first "paint the map" playthrough in either CK2 or CK3. I may start trying out mods after this (saw a recommendation of one that hides stats unless your character has a way to know them, which could be good for RP).
Also played some Minecraft, Warriors of Hyrule, and Luigi's Mansion with the oldest kid.
I dabbled in a few other games as well, but if I played less than 10 minutes I won't list them....
I had trouble getting into any games. I played a bit of Stellaris. I played a lot of the classic Master of Magic. But beyond that, I couldn't enjoy anything. Even those I did play were more to have something to do and I found it all vaguely frustrating.
Hopefully 2023 will be better.
OOTP 23
Replay Baseball PC
Action PC football
Hades
Vic 3
Dwarf Fortress
Dabbled in Command Modern Ops
Various console games kids play
So according to Steam.
HOI III 37 per cent
FM21 25 per cent
CIV VI 13 per cent
CKIII 12 per cent
Vic III 9 per cent
Strangely I think I don't like HOI much, but I picked up a five month DLC subscription so I played it a lot between May and October.
Yeah, for me it was:
CK3 - 24%
Vic3 - 24%
Path of Exile - 23%
Elden Ring - 5%
Old World - 3%
Mind you, that's out of about 1100h of gaming (on Steam, anyways ... :blush: ). And I barely played anything before May when I fell back into Path of Exile. :ph34r: Apparently I launched 113 different games this year, which puts me into the "top" 0.3% of players. :Embarrass:
Seems these are the games I played for more than 1 hour this year (extrapolated from the "First Played This Year" hours of some games and the % they represent of total playtime):
(https://i.postimg.cc/c4b2cMxX/played-2022.png)
PoE: 17%
KSP: 15%
TMNF: 8%
Ozymandias: 8%
Vampire Survivors: 5%
Ozymandias is the big surprise, since I only started playing in October.
Steam is 46% CK3 for me, all in Oct/Nov. :lol:
Shows how little games I've been playing and how much my gaming has been on the switch.
Where do I see that in Steam?
I guess I mainly played Paradox games, probably EU4, Stellaris, Victoria, CK3 in that order. I guess besides that I played Cities: Skylines and Anno 1800. Not sure if I played any Civ 6 this year.
Scary thing is I played something for some 155 days in a row.
Quote from: Zanza on December 29, 2022, 12:52:28 PMWhere do I see that in Steam?
In the Steam store under "New and Noteworthy" in the top menu.
Steam has me playing OOTP 23 for over 2000 hrs. But that's because I check in the morning, leave it open in the background all day, and then check in at night.
Ok, so I had 36% Stellaris, 34% EU4, 12% Cities Skylines, 9% Victoria 3, 7% CK3. Total eight games. Longest series was eleven days. I guess not as much as in the past...
27% CK3, 14% RimWorld, 13% Valheim, 12% Old World, 11% CK2
Rule the Waves 2
- I still love this game more than almost any other. It has such a fun play cycle and it's so easy to drop in, play for anywhere from 12 to 120 minutes and quit at the drop of the hat. With two young kids, those are critical requirements for any game if it's going to keep my attention.
Silent Hunter 3 with mods
- Always a classic. Got some of the newer mods that allow the game to use more than 4 GB of RAM and fix a few bugs.
Strategic Command: WWI
- Surprisingly fun and decent replication of WWI. I've found the AI tends to overly weaken itself with reckless attacks resulting in me getting decisive wins with each side on my first playthroughs. But it's fun enough that I'll try again with the difficulty settings bumped up a notch.
War in the Pacific: Admirals Edition
- Finally played more than a little into 1942! It's still a beast of a game with shit AI. But it's also the perfect wargame, so I'll always get drawn back in.

@mongers: I picked up Hero of the Kingdom 1-3 on GOG. :D Not sure what your :Embarrass: and :blush: icons are meant to indicate? :unsure:
Steam released their top games 2022: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/BestOf2022
(Notes about how the rankings are measured: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/BestOf2022?tab=7)
I'm "shocked" how many of the top slots in the total revenue rankings are free to play games and others with in game transactions (like GTA5, FIFA, ...).
From Paradox, Stellaris and Cities: Skylines are in the Silver category, together with Sims 4, so I guess having lots of DLC also helps with revenue (V3, CK3, HOI4 earned bronze level; seems EU4 is the only one not to get into these rankings). :P
It also goes to show that few games in the top slots (platinum/gold) are "for me" (the number increases a fair bit in silver/bronze).
Despite being released only a few weeks ago, Dwarf Fortress still hit Gold for New Releases, based on revenue (even Vicky3 qualified for gold in this category). :o
I don't play shooters, first person RPGs, or battle arena games, so the top games are completely irrelevant for me. :hmm:

HK 1-3 are perfect relaxation games requiring little thought, so ideal for me, Syt did you liked them?
The emoticons are for not playing any serious games; I've less than 1% with EUIV, I must have played it once for only 20mins this year. :Embarrass:
Oh and CivVI is at 2%, must try to get into it over this winter.

That's fine. One of my most played games is Bejeweled 3 - I like Match 3 games (I have almost 15 hours in HuniePop; unfortunately HuniePop2 wasn't as good because it went from tongue in cheek, self-aware comedy hentai Match 3 to straight up just "hurr-durr boobiiiies" hentai :( :blush: ). And I like relaxing puzzle games (The Room series, Dogs/Cats Organized Neatly, Pictopix, Filament ... ) or chill "building" games like Islanders and Dorfromantik. :)
