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?

A fun (but difficult) city builder. I'm still on v65 because the more recent versions are way more difficult and I can't handle it.
Racism is baked in, and it helps to either go mono-race for your city; or to have certain groups. (Like I think Cretonians and Humans get along, but Amevians hate everyone else and all races hate the bug race (Garhtrimis).)
Slavery is an enticing choice once world conquest starts to become possible (this is likely more of a v65 thing since recent versions nerfed the empire building stuff; since the dev doesn't think it's reasonable for one country to conquer the world); because sacking one city can give ~1000 free laborers (when end game city pop is ~12k). Very hard to turn that down; especially since slaves need no amenities/services.
It's a very fun game, but I respect that racism and slavery are treated somewhat realistically. Slavery is hard to ignore since it's such an easy economy boost (seems true to life), and race realism has to be considered since you can't just pretend that Tilapis will get along with everyone else (they won't).
Fun game, based AF.
Only seen the name in passing, before. I feel like I need this game in my life, now.
