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.

Didn’t read the whole list, but Tactical Breach Wizards is amazing. It’s a must play if you’re into the genre.
Are y’all trying to lure me to the dark side (i.e. hermit life)?
But Tactical Breach Wizards, I played the Next Fest demo and enjoyed it but removed it from my wishlist because they took down the demo. More than games that just never put out a demo, a game that puts one out and then consciously decides to take it down, those tend to be bad more often than not.
They put the demo back up so now it’s back on the list. Not a fan of complicated time-travel plots, I’ve been burnt before with them, but I’m intending to give it the benefit of the doubt.
It’s been a minute since I last played it, but the time travel is mostly just a story reason for the ability to undo moves in-game. The story is more character driven.
Specifically I don’t like how time travel can render all the events of the narrative mute, and also because I just can’t imagine beating a chronomancer in combat (and the antagonist is a chronomancer according to the marketing).
If it’s just a maximum of 10-seconds of time travel then that’d solve both those issues.
