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.

Neva is nice if you can pick it up for less than $5.
The combat in Dungeons of Hinterberg bored me really quickly, but it's also a Zelda-like, so if you don't mind the basic combat, maybe give it a shot.
I pick up all games on sale, basically. Neva especially I probably won't get unless it goes down to $5.
Dungeons of Hinterberg is in my "only because they have demo" folder. I'm not a huge fan of combat in games partly because combat as a gameplay mechanic is conceptually uninspired and partly just because I don't really get the thrill. Dungeon's of Hinterberg seems like a story thing first and foremost though.
Like in any game period? Big claim and you're probably not interested in backing it up, but I'm curious.
IDK, trailer had a good deal of combat—just thought to give you a heads up in case you care about the combat.
Nothing major, just that combat is the default mode of operation for most games, especially AAA games. So I generally trend away from games that are built around combat.
I'll play the demo eventually, so I'll probably find out how I feel then.
Fair enough and let me tell you: as someone who exclusively plays games where combat is the central mechanic, I wouldn't touch the current crop of AAA games either.
