I plan to tackle a lot more single player games. I don't recall beating anything last year. I know I had to beaten something, but I honestly cannot remember.
This year I already beat Firewatch. I always wanted to buy it, I just never did. As soon as I saw it on GamePass I downloaded it and loved every second of it. It was a great game and the story actually surprised me.
Now I'm grinding away in Mount and Blade II Bannerlord since they've added so much content since it was first available. I also plan to get through Kingdom Come Deliverance and Metro Exodus in the near future.
I also would like to go back and play Stalker Shadows of Chernobyl. I don't remember ever finishing it. Then I'll play Call of Pripyat. I'd prefer to beat both in time for the launch of Stalker 2 later this year.
Hopefully this is a good year for my single-player backlog. Getting out of public accounting and getting a relaxing accounting job has significantly increases my freetime to tackle my gaming desires more than I've been able to the last 3+ years.

Removed Elden Ring completely as I know im not beating the game so no point in buying it. Removed Stalker 2 as it's been delayed to December and could end up getting delayed to 2023. Added Crossfire X campaign but will wait on reviews.
Overall, I have 7 games/expansions for the first half of 2022 that have a release date and is already packed and stacked compared to what I had in 2021 in the same time frame. Looking forward to every game/expansion on my list with Dying Light 2 and Horizon 2 being at the top of the list.

2022 Gaming Goals:
Buy PS5 - Technically completed at the end of December, but it isn't scheduled to be delivered until 1/4.
Buy/Build new PC - My PC is perfectly fine, but it is a few years old. Some big games coming out this year that I'd like to play at max settings though.
Complete 1 Total War Warhammer Campaign - I have over 1100 hours in this game on Steam since it released in 2017, but I have never completed a Mortal Empires campaign. I came really close a few months ago, but one of the final events glitched and never happened. I have a terrible habit of getting really far into a campaign and then starting a new one once it feels like I'm kind of unstoppable.
Games to buy:
PC Gaming
Rainbow Six Extraction (1/20) - Game looks great, but it will depend on if I can find people to buy it with.
Vampire the Masquerade Swansong (5/19) - I love the original Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines that came out nearly 20 years ago. I've been stoked to get my hands on this one ever since it was announced.
Total War Warhammer III (2/17) - There is no doubt that this is a day 1 purchase. A continuation of the game that has been far and away my most played game over the last 5 years.
PS5
Horizon Forbidden West (2/1) - Easy choice
Forspoken (5/24) - Currently have it preordered for PS5, but I may switch to PC if reviews show it as being a good port.
Maybe Buys
PC
OOTP 23 - The only sports series that I still consider remotely worth buying. This is firmly in the probably category, but I would like to see a few enhancements before I shell out full price for it again.
PS5
Sifu (2/8) - Looks really cool. I may end up picking it up down the road though given all the other releases that I'm looking forward to in February, but this one definitely caught my eye.
Gran Turismo 7 (3/4) - Need more info on this. I hated the direction that this series took with the most recent game, but I'm hoping this one returns to the car simulation games of old.
If they come out:
Starfieild (11/11) - This is a day 1 purchase whenever it comes out. It seems like a prime candidate for a delay though.
Bayonetta 3 - It's Bayonetta which is enough for me
Hogwarts Legacy - Do we finally get a full game in the Harry Potter universe?
Star Ocean The Divine Force - I love this series. So, this will always be a must buy.
Star Trek Resurgence - An actual exploration game in the Star Trek universe.
Games that may or may not have a release date that I'm watching and may get.
Pokemon Legends - Switch - (1/28)
Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection - PS5 - (1/28)
CrossfireX - XSX - (2/10)
Elden Ring - PC - (2/5)
Elex 2 - PC - (3/1)
Starship Troopers Terran Command - PC - (3/31)
Currently Playing
Horizon Zero Dawn PC - Doesn't look like I'll finish it before the new expansion like I was hoping to. I just keep getting caught up in side stuff and just running around the land.
Spiderman Remastered for PS5
Total War Warhammer 2 - Greenskins Campaign. I was really trying to avoid playing this anymore while I wait on Warhammer 3 to be released on 2/17, but I just couldn't help myself.
