re: your year in gaming 2023

Gaming was a big decompressor for me this year, and I played a lot of really good shite for the first time while revisiting some favorites.

Started the year with Dishonored 2 (played DH1 at the end of last year) and then Kena: Bridge of Spirits, which was one of my surprise games for the year. Next, blew through Hogwarts Legacy which, in spite of all of its flaws, and they are legion, I enjoyed more than I thought I would. The next few months were taken up by (yet another) Mass Effect LE trilogy run, but this time somewhat heavily modded, so that was a lot of fun. Jedi Survivor next, which I very much enjoyed, but the performance issues were frustrating. Next was my first foray into Dark Souls, playing Remastered, 2 SotFS, and 3 one after the other over a three month period. Then I picked up BG3, which I've enjoyed more than I thought I would. About halfway through the second act before taking a break and going back to do several complete DkS1 runs and about to complete a second DkS3 run. Then likely back to BG3, but we'll see.

But overall, genuinely a hell of a gaming year for me.
