![]() I’d still like to beat at least one run through the final dungeon before getting Darkest Dungeon 2, but that may be years out at my current pace. Their requests petered off as they got old enough to play more games on their own. Darkest Dungeon (7:03:47): I started off the year with the kids requesting to watch me play, just like the year before.I still have to beat it with The Watcher, so I intend to play some more in 2022. But once I got started I just wanted to play all the time, even breaking my rule of not getting up to play once I’ve gone to bed. Runs usually took me way longer than Dicey Dungeon runs (whether I was winning or losing) so that also contributed to the time. Slay the Spire (11:46:38): Given how late in the year I got this game, the fact that it appears in such a high position on the list is indicative of how addictive I found it.It’s going to depend on what it adds to the gameplay. Right now I’m on the fence about whether I’ll get the Airport DLC. Like the Civilization series, these city builders seem to be perennial favorites of mine, so I expect I’ll play some more in 2022. Cities Skylines (11:53:14): I spent the first half of 2021 obsessed with this game, starting new cities where I could use all of my DLC from the beginning rather than trying to bolt it onto my older city that I started without the DLC.I could not get enough of this game for a few weeks. ![]() The sense of humor and gameplay were right up my alley. It turned out to be a fortunate mistake since I really enjoyed the heck out of Dicey Dungeons. I didn’t remember the titles he’d told me about so when this one was on sale on GOG, I bought it thinking this was one of the ones he’d told me about. Dicey Dungeons (19:56:11): Midway through the year Dan told me about card-based rogue-alike games like Monster Train and Slay the Spire.In multiplayer games, in the one where I was India and embroiled in a war with Dan, my turns finally ended with my defeat.The other multiplayer games continue. Finally, I tried for a third time, using all my lessons learned to finally get the Gilgamesh win. That led to a stunted empire and I fell behind to Ghandi and eventually lost. So I did a second game and tried to focus early on scouts to get the free city-state bonuses. That game quickly went bust as I kept getting attacked for focusing on science to the detriment of my military. Eventually that got me interested in resuming my single-player game as Gilgamesh – last played on Extra Life day. Then that was supercharged while I was figuring out my webhook app that I made, first in Flask and then in FastAPI. Civilization VI (1 day, 3:34:37): Started off getting back to the multiplayer games with Dan and Dave.Also so much multiplayer with the kids mostly arena mode. Oh man, so much fun! And brought me back to my childhood playing with them. Spelunky 2 (1 day, 4:19:14): Lots of time playing with both Dan and Dave.
