except I don't play very many video games to completion so it's a short list

  • Outer Wilds: literally impossible to play with a mouse (someday I'll buy a controller)
  • Untitled Goose Game: it's surprising how hard it is to beat!
  • Stray: the blob things are so hard to escape :( I loved the story and the setting and I spent a long long time staying in the city and when I left I quickly reached a stage I could beat and was like welp had a good run with this one. I might go watch a let's play just to see how it ends
  • Baba Is You: with puzzle games I always get really into it in a big burst and then lose steam quickly and this was no exception
  • Stellaris: not really a game that "finishes", but I'm pretty sure there's some end conditions or final events that I never got to because I quickly got bored of continually managing the same little things forever and ever

  • Return of the Obra Dinn: by the creator of Papers, Please and also highly recommended by my friends so I'm looking forward to it! I'm planning on buying this just after I'm done with Pentiment
  • Night in the Woods: I see this recommended a lot by both Disco Elysium and Pentiment players so I'd probably like it very much as well
  • The Stanley Parable: I know for sure the humour would be right up my alley, but the impression is that there are tons of endings and this would awaken the achievement hunter in me so I'm waiting for the right time1 when I can spend a good chunk of vacation playing it
  • Undertale, Deltarune: I actually watched my sibling play Undertale so I generally know how it ends but I've never played it myeslf, and it's been long enough that I think the details will be like fresh to me
  • Hades: I hear a lot of gay things about it so I would like to play it, but it's the kind of action/battle game that I think I would be bad at because I'm generally bad at dexterity-based fighting games2
  • Celeste: I actually played the first two levels I think but I couldn't get past the second one lol. like you would not believe how bad I am at any sort of spatial dexterity tasks. I suspect a controller would help, but we'll see about Outer Wilds first
  • Beat Saber: but I don't have a VR headset :( and I'm not going to buy a VR headset for one game

  1. and for it to go on sale.

  2. interestingly I really enjoy rhythm games. I think it's a different kind of dexterity
