Sorting my wishlist by date added, apparently this: https://www.gog.com/game/the_fall

For a while its been Shadows: Awakening. It has some interesting ideas and the art style is decent. It also looks like it could be mostly "meh" mixed with a bit of a traditional RPG. It'll take a pretty deep discount for me to finally make the purchase, mostly because I'm pretty sure it'll be a one-and-done kind of game.

Yeah, Vikings Wolves of Midgard really put the brakes on my excitement for Shadows: Awakening. Vikings wasn't bad, but it was quite mediocre IMHO.

There's a lot of games I own on Steam on my GOG wishlist, so if they're ever $5 or less I might grab them for client-free, DRM-free copies. This is a super low priority though, so a lot of them have been there for a good while.

There are also some old adventure games from before my time that I know I'll likely never play, but am tempted to get anyway. Stuff like The Colonel's Bequest and Codename: ICEMAN. A lot of them are Activision titles that never seem to go on a deep sale, which is why they're still there. Maybe someday.

Inmates feel happier, more likely to reform, less likely to reoffend, riot, or try to escape. Also, I wouldn't put it past Introversion to have them use all those items in escape attempts, but the game is a massive time sink and I haven't actually played long enough to see a riot.

it's a 2d platformer with wall-climbing that turns into a metroidvania, allegedly (I'm stuck on a boss just before it's supposed to because I learned the gamepad controls wrong and find myself lacking a sixth finger). Even then I keep replaying it from time to time and try to get better, it's just that good. I'm fairly sensitive to "omg look at all these nerdy references, aren't we, like, totes groovy?!", but I love what I see of the game despite their federal crime of a marketing campaign. Oh and the music is great.

It's a linear interactive cartoon where you walk around and stuff happens. There's no challenge at all. Some environmental interactions (I can't in good conscience call them "puzzles") and a couple reaction choices here and there (the story doesn't change). You get to choose an ending, out of two, and both of them suck.

The best of the recent Infinity-esque RPGs, notably not kickstarted. Character advancement is predictably trash.

> Yep, someone praised it I guess.
That was probably me, and the reason I did is because I've also "grown out" of point and click adventures. See, there was a scene in which I, lacking a wallet in his inventory, needed to buy some trivial thing priced at like two euros or so, and I felt physical pain at the prospect of hunting down TWO coins. And then I just took out a wallet and paid. I think the protagonist starting with a multitool in his inventory (this needs to be a law) was also a dig at shitty puzzles and the devs' promise not to have any in this game. (They ended up having one -- or perhaps it wasn't firing properly? -- but it was bounded, with all prerequisites in place, so I googled the solution without spoiling a thing.) Plus, great characters, great story, title drop, yadda yadda.

My perpetual wishlist mainstay is Elex. "Tactical and challenging combat system" in a 3d action-RPG? "Thanks, I already have a job. Maybe next year." But it's pretty.
