(btw. some of your games were already released earlier) Here are some of my favourites this year: - [Thimbleweed Park](https://www.gog.com/game/thimbleweed_park) - [The Journey Down Trilogy](https://www.gog.com/game/the_journey_down_trilogy) (third and last episode was released this year) - [Paradigm](https://www.gog.com/game/paradigm) - [The Darkside Detective](https://www.gog.com/game/the_darkside_detective) [edit] - [Full Throttle Remastered](https://www.gog.com/game/full_throttle_remastered) (does it count?) I’ve bought [Gorogoa](https://www.gog.com/game/gorogoa) but haven’t tried it yet. Is this the [Sam’s Journey](https://www.knightsofbytes.games/samsjourney) you are talking about? A new game for the C64! ---

Yep! (It’s available via [itch.io](https://protovision.itch.io/sams-journey) too.) Btw. I suggest to turn off the hints, before you play Gorogoa. [The idea was more about video games you’ve truly enjoyed this year, less about the release date (which can vary due to a platform). Feel free to post whatever gave you some goose bumps.] ---

I think I bought as many older games as I did buy 2017 releases. Of the latter, none did disappoint, so that must count as good, right? - Torment: Tides of Numenera - Thimbleweed Park (2 times) - Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition (if Full Throttle Remastered counts, certainly that one does too) - AER - Memories of Old - The Inner World 2 - The Last Wind Monk I’ve also bought, but have not yet played (so I can only assume they’re good) - Divinity: Original Sin 2 - The Pillars of the Earth ---

TwP aside I´ve only played the Resident Evil: Biohazard Begnning Hour Demo so far. And while it plays like first person Maniac Mansion on acid (trapped in a creepy house hiding from psychotic family members) and I´m really curious to try the full version the demo is so difficult it drives me mad! ---

Played many games but only two released in 2017. TWP and Mass Effect Andromeda. A bit disappointed with Mass Effect, but it was enjoyable. TWP was a blast for me. Will it ever be a sequel btw? 🙂 ---

I’ve not played many games that were actually released in 2017, so I’m going to cheat slightly and list notable ones I’ve _played_: this year: Thimbleweed Park The Cave The Witness The Talos Principle The Darkside Detective What Remains of Edith Finch I’ve literally just finished Edith Finch, in a two-hour playthrough, and have a throbbing headache. It was worth it though. ---

First game of 2017 I will get myself is **Resident Evil 7 Biohazard**. It really plays a bit like a first person Maniac Mansion and I kind of got addicted to the Demo which I finally managed to solve after many tries. That house just looks so real and moving through that creepy building always fearing to get caught gives me the major thrills. I´d really like to try that one in VR one of these days. Very much looking forward to playing it. ---

> [@Nor\_Treblig](#): > > Don’t make me a pirate! Why, it´s on PC, too? Currently at like 25 € (which is cheap for a tripple A game less than a year after release). Despite having to fight the occasional monster it has typical adventure game mechanics in it´s gameplay. Demo Spoilers that won´t spoil the game itself incoming: In the demo you want to escape through the roof in the attic. You have to pull a hidden chain in a chimney to reveal a hidden room. In the room is the missing fuse you put in the fuse box so you can let push the button in the upper room to reveal the attic stairs. In the attic room you find the basement key. You go down to the basement where you get locked in and have to evade a monster that attacks you and not get hit(you have to push a sack into it´s direction so it falls and you can kick the blocked door thrice to get out again). There you find the key to the attic window where you have to walk all the way up again and finally escape. I´m sure there is still some secrets in that demo I have missed. There is at least two alternate and worse endings. ---
