And as of last week, Gabriel Knight belongs to Microsoft. Speaking of 1993, Space Quest 5 and LSL6 also came out, also now Microsoft.

I wonder if they'll ever do anything with the Sierra catalog.

I played it a bit, then uninstalled. I through that its a interesting game, well made, with good graphics, good UI, good story..

My reason to uninstalling it was checking the skill tree for the characters. There where nothing in the tree that I just wanted to play more to unlock. So I did not played more.


Edit:
I could use more words, but was literally that. Did not found the deep I wanted on a game of this type.

I absolutelly loved Marvel's Midnight Suns.

Midnight Suns is fantastic and more games should be like it.

It’s excellent on Steam Deck too. I would like another expansion because I’ve pretty much finished everything, although it’s fun to just do random encounters with still.

2023 has both a new Mario, and Zelda, with a remastered Metroid tho

Ask me about Game Pass: the Best Deal in Gaming!
AC6 is my GOTY and gave me a type of game and experience I didn't even know I wanted, which is a great feeling. So for that and a few other games 2023 is definitely in the decent category. E- just remembered the new yakuza is coming day 1 to gamepass in November, it's a good year. Also for as controversial as starfield is, its a fun 7/10 to me that I enjoy dipping back into here and there with quick resume and leisurely just doing what I want.

This is the first year probably ever, where instead of struggling to come up with ten games worthy of a top ten, I'm gonna have to exclude some worthy titles, and choose between like 5 different games that could be GOTY in a lesser year.

GOTY is clearly BG3 though.

This and BG3 are neck and neck for me. I hope Alan Wake 2 is as good as it looks, could be up there too.

BG3 will be game of the year next year too when it finally hits the xbox. Especially since the Xbox version will launch with quite a few solid patches under its belt.

Yeah I haven’t tried it but it sounds like the PS5 version of BG3 is less polished than the PC version, but Larian is good about supporting their games. Xbox players will likely get a better version at launch so the wait isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

They did a hands on preview last month and people are pretty skeptical about the viability of the q1 2024 release date after playing it. I guess it’s like, launch cyberpunk levels of unpolished atm.

No way it's this year. Probably the spring. That would be close to 2 years since the base game launched.
