Over the years, I’ve collected a rather large Steam library. Unfortunately, I haven’t played most of the games because they are RPGs that I want to get invested in, and with my schedule I can play a little bit here, a little bit there, but not usually for large chunks of time. Luckily, now I have a class that is making me play some of them!!!

Over the course of the semester, we are supposed to pick a game that (in theory) is diverse and non-repetitive and offers a variety of different types of gameplay. So, after looking over my Steam library, I think the game(s) I am going to choose to play over the semester (other than League of Legends and Planetside 2) are Dragon Age: Origins and Metro 2033 (and possibly Metro: Last Light, if I complete 2033).

Dragon Age: Origins is made by Bioware (the same company that produced Mass Effect and Knights of the Old Republic), so I am sure the game will be great (it has gotten very good reviews). But, like all Bioware games, the story is said to be massive (over 150 hours). I’m unsure if I can tackle a game like this during a semester while still having time for schoolwork yet also putting enough time into the game to get a good playthrough.

Metro 2033 (and Last Light) is a FPS RPG set in post-apocalyptic Russia. Like Dragon Age, the Metro series is reviewed very well. I think I might start by tackling Metro before Dragon Age simply because of time constraints. I’ll make more posts in the future once I start my playthroughs!
