I got Octopath Traveler 0 for Christmas and have been playing it fanatically. Also playing Marvel Rivals when I need some quick matches before work. Still got a bunch of games on my Steam wishlist but pretty far behind on it all. How about you all, what are you playing into the New Year? Anything you all are waiting for?

I devoured Dispatch in two sittings last week and it was my game of the year. I don't usually go for that genre but they included enough game to make it engaging while also having some truly compelling writing. Despite the game having an overall feel of optimism and that classic hero saves the day theme, the whole thing left me feeling kind of depressed. Maybe it's just the inevitable low after such a high, but I suspect it's more to do with the disparity between the hope for the future in the game and the dismal prospects here in reality. My escapism is highlighting the things I'm trying to escape I guess.
Anyway, very good game. Would recommend. Go in blind and just trust that it's a good experience.
How woke is it?
The closest it comes is making an off-handed remark about how diverse their workforce is, followed immediately by pointing out a character who's from another galaxy, so maybe it's poking fun at it? It really just felt like a game that didn't have a political agenda at all, which was refreshing.
I thought the opposite looking at the screenshots. Cheers.
Me too. I wanted it to be good but I was skeptical.
Not very imo.
If you liked Dispatch you might want to check out "The Witcher Tales". Totally different atmosphere, but its another game where you get to make choices and then hear MC give an awesome speech about it. The card battles are pretty fun too.
I dunno, I think Dispatch works because of the story it's telling more than anything.
Witcher Tales is the same.
