So, I'm trying to make sure my Steam Wishlist from 2024 (April-December) is small enough that I can play. I have about 250 hours at most (after repeatedly raising the limit).

Does anyone here have strong thoughts about any of these games that can help me decide? I'm in no rush to finish (since I'm a moderately patient gamer) but I figured some people here would have useful opinions.

Maybe one of these games has problematic developers, or maybe they're just boring.

Please let me know if you have any thoughts.

So you're wanting to eliminate as many of these games as possible from your wishlist? The only ones I've played here are A Short Hike and Animal Well, and I can vouch for both of those being incredible.

A Short Hike is very charming. I had such a fun time playing through it one afternoon and finding all the little secrets. It has a lovely artstyle and is the perfect length.

Animal Well is simply a great metroidvania with some really unique items and beautiful pixel art. There's some tricky platforming there if you want to get the collectables.

Sorry if that doesn't really help with your conundrum, but if you want to cut down your wishlist I'd recommend keeping those ones!

Yes, I am looking to remove as many as I can. Although not just based on what people have played but also what news people have heard about them.

A Short Hike wasn't on the list. It was a "Short Trip". I played A Short Hike on Epic and didn't really vibe with it.

Animal Well was in the group of ones I am most likely to play, although I don't really enjoy metroidvania (I'll give it a shot anyway though).

Thanks anyway. Not a lot of useable advice but I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Oh my bad, I hadn't heard of Short Trip and my brain must've got that mixed up xD

I saw the trailers for Squirrel with a Gun, and personally I thought it looked a bit gimmicky. Perhaps the sort of game I'd tire of after a few hours.

I added it when I saw someone praise that the trans-flag shirt gives you extra damage with bricks. Last-minute addition and probably going in my "closer-scrutiny" pile along with Tiny Glade and Dollmare.

haha that's pretty great to be fair!

I don't get the joke, but it's funny nonetheless.
