New or old, doesn't matter. Whether it's an old classic you never got your chance to play, or the latest release (or even some game just announced that won't actually be out for a year or three), which games tops your list? Given the nature of the newsgroup, obviously PC games are preferred, but so long as you limit it to digital games (no tabletop here, but arcade machines are fine ;-), we wanna hear it. So, this is a tough one for me, since most games I WANT I usually get in short order. A month ago, "Mechwarrior 5: Clans" probably would have topped that list. Then I bought it (and played it), so it got bumped. Of those that are left, well, I have a hard time choosing, so I'm going to immediately break my own rules about it being ONE game and offer a selection. - "Kingdom Come: Deliverance II" is definitely up there, even though I know very little about the game other than I quite enjoyed the original. - "Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024", even though right now it's just too buggy and expensive for a game I know I won't play very much. - The next five years of expansions for "American Truck Simulator" rank pretty highly. I want to roam the entire country and waiting for the next state to drop every other month is /agonizing/ - Oh, and "Bedlam 2: Absolute", a sequel to 1996 DOS shooter which apparently came out but there's very little information about the game and I've never seen it. There's a gap in my collection. It hurts, it hurts! Oh, and so many more. My wishlist is overflowing, Santa! What's on the top of your most-wanted?
