There’s a game coming out this year where you fight your Steam backlog, and it’s more dangerous the more you’ve spent

Many PC gamers struggle with a growing backlog of unplayed games due to the ease of accumulating titles from platforms like Steam and GOG. Some gamers feel pride in their backlog, while others feel guilt over neglected purchases. Games like Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive can be enticing at low prices, but busy schedules often prevent players from actually playing them. For example, after purchasing Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous at full price, players may find themselves distracted by other games like Overwatch 2, leaving their intended gaming sessions unfulfilled. Game Quest: The Backlog Battler is available on Steam, highlighting the irony that players may buy it knowing it could also become part of their unplayed titles.

Gothic Remake is committed to the original’s immersive open world: ‘You don’t have a minimap, we very strictly kept that’

The Gothic game series is a predecessor to modern RPGs like Kingdom Come: Deliverance and The Witcher, known for its immersive open-world design. In the original Gothic, players acquired maps through in-game means rather than using icons, emphasizing realism. Alkimia Interactive is remaking Gothic, maintaining this authenticity by not including a minimap, as stated by game director Reinhard Pollice. Players will need to consult the map they acquire to navigate the game world. The revival is set to release on platforms like Steam and GOG.
