As we stride forward into 2025, here is a list of my play goals for the year - providing release dates aren't pushed back! I've already started on Ghost of Tsushima, already so beautiful, and I really must go back and finish Baldur's Gate 3!

Each year I like to put together a collage of the games I played for that year, so here's what made the cut for 2024. I managed to get back to some big hitters from 2023, as well as go on a little VR stint during the autumn!

It's probably about time I introduced myself! Hi folks! I'm Luke, a games design lecturer at the University of Staffordshire, and I specialise in narrative game design. 🎮 I'm a cat dad to 2 void creatures, my favourite game IP is Tomb Raider, I paint Necrons, and Incineroar is the best Pokémon!
