    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    I’ve accepted that I’ll leave some titles unfinished, like Pikmin 4’s extra mode and getting all of the achievements in the Switch version of Vampire Survivors.

    Then there are all the big games coming out in the weeks ahead, including the Cyberpunk 2077 expansion (September 26th), Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (October 20th), and the Super Mario RPG remake (November 17th).

    If I don’t finish some of the faction quests I’m working on in Starfield, they’ll be there next month.

    If I pick Super Mario Bros. Wonder over Spider-Man 2, I’ll be able to swing through New York as Peter Parker and Miles Morales when I get around to it.

    Of the games I listed, only Diablo IV has a live service element to worry about (and that can be completely ignored if I just want to play the base campaign), so I won’t have to deal with FOMO over new updates or seasonal content that I miss because I’m still meandering my way through any of 2023’s huge titles.

    And against my better instincts, I wouldn’t be surprised if I get sucked into mastering Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s DLC courses; any time driving around Waluigi Stadium would probably be better spent exploring Faerûn in Baldur’s Gate 3.
