After much info gathering, I’ve compiled my personal 2026 Games to Play list — published here only so I feel some accountability to it.
Replays are games that I haven’t played for 5-10+ years (I usually try to make them 10+ years more often than not). I’d not really been someone to go through games I’d already played. After all, there are so many new ones. But, I started this with Tomb Raider 2013 and Rise of the Tomb Raider last year and quite enjoyed it, so it’s going to become a regular practice.
Forty games here, and the odds of me actually getting through all of them are so-so. But I’m going to try. For the purposes of comparison: I completed 31 games in 2025.
Without further ado:
