Question

What Should I Review Next?

I was thinking of doing something different in the early parts of 2025, and ask for opinions as-to which game I should review next! It could be any title, I suppose, but if it happens to coincide with my backlog, even better lol.

As it stands, I have a few Timely Reviews I want to work on eventually:

  • Lies of P
    • Action Soulslike, dark retelling of the tale of Pinocchio.
    • Should be getting a DLC sometime in the first quarter of this year.
  • Sea of Stars
    • Indie RPG of the classic/"old school" variety.
    • Played a little; also has an expansion coming out soonish.
  • We 💜 Katamari Reroll
    • Goofy Japanese title where you roll up items/people into an ever-growing ball.
    • I don't believe I've played the sequel, but the original was super fun.
  • Fallout 4
    • Western First-Person Sci-fi RPG.
    • I got sidetracked from doing it in time for the Fallout show on Amazon; what better time than before season 2?
  • Black Myth: Wukong
    • Action Soulslike, but don't let the developers see me call it that.
    • I'm on Chapter 3, but became overwhelmed by stress (not from the game; just life in general). I want to finish it someday.
  • Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn
    • Action RPG, fighting the gods in the age of gunpowder. 
    • Played for about 5 hours but at the time it ran poorly; decided to wait for a patch yet never went back.

Let me know if any of these tickle your fancy, or suggest something else if you'd like! 🙂

  • Thanks for asking! My vote goes for Wukong as I'm considering trying it myself. The biggest question for me is how Soulslike it actually is. Is it possible to go easy mode and just enjoy the story and the graphics? Is it open world? Are there many side quests? Stuff like that.

      I'll be honest: I've been working to hype myself up for Lies of P, under the impression that no one would reply lol. But I didn't forget about you and your desire to know more about Wukong. Reinstalling the game will involve a hard choice - my level of PC storage means I can't fit Wukong at the same time as two other giant games I've been playing, Baldur's Gate III and Path of Exile 2 - but I'll make it happen!

      • Don't go out of your way for my sake! From what I've seen so far I understand that you enjoy Baldur's Gate and PoE a lot. Removing one of them for Wukong probably isn't worth it.

          Too late :D Going "out of (my) way" for your sake was the whole point of asking for suggestions lol. PoE2 is still in Early Access; it can wait for another day.

          In my case I am really interested in Lies of P

          After I finish Black Myth: Wukong (and another particular article semi-related to it), I will start Lies of P.

          ...my hope is to get them both done before Marvel's Spider-Man 2 hits Steam on January 31st, or thereabouts!

  • In my case I am really interested in Lies of P

  • I must apologize to you, anchorm4n: I (sorta) went back on what I said and started Lies of P. Between the breaking of my glasses and the liver biopsy-recovery I'm dealing with, it was easier to play games on my Steam Deck over the PC. Wukong isn't supported on the Deck, so I started Lies of P and am really enjoying the game; I'd rather not pivot back or jump back-and-forth, if I can help it.

    Black Myth: Wukong is still on the menu, though! My overall plan is still to get them both done before January's end.

    Thought you should know, if you happen to spot me playing Lies of P on Discord.

    • That's very kind and considerate of you, but definitely unnecesseary. You do what's best and most fun for you first and foremost and if that happens to corelate with my interests, we'll call it a happy bonus.

      I wish you a quick and full recovery and the best possible results for the biopsy! Glasses sound like the lesser problem in the grand scheme of things but surely are quite a pain in day-to-day life. Fingers crossed for a quick solution on that front as well - ideally not out of your pocket, as I seem to remember someone else caused the situation that broke them.

    ... or any space/turn-based game you enjoy (that is not Baldur's gate lol).

    Curious to find out about any hidden gems out there.

      If it helps, I did review some demos from Steam's Outer Space Fest about 4 months ago. Only Dark Sky was turn-based, though; there's also a review around here somewhere of the demo for Dimensionals, which is sorta what you might be looking for. I enjoyed Everspace 2 a lot, but it's not turn-based.

      For something that is both turn-based and space-themed, but not reviewed by me, I can point you towards Endless Space, or the sequel!

        Thanks for the links! I do know about endless space and distant worlds, but my play time is very limited :(

        Anyway, they don't have to be both space and turn-based, but either-or. Or any strategic/rpg game overall, (without anime graphics if possible).

        I do have some games in the wishlist, so maybe something fits what you like for a review, too: Songs of Syx, Silence of the Siren, Soulash 2, Stranded Alien dawn, Stardeus.
