I'm not one for "New Year's resolutions", but I am one for overly ambitious projects.
For 2023, Project365 is "One New Game Per Day".
Given that I have 634 unplayed games in my Steam account and {mumble} unredeemed bundle Steam keys, there's a reason my unplayed collection is tagged "Pile of Shame".
I'll pin this to my profile, and give a brief summary here each day (or x, if I miss x days due to work or stuff).
I'll play 15-30 minutes of (at least) one new game I've never played before (or played less than 15 minutes of). I'll give every game at least 15 minutes, even if I hate every minute of it.
I'm also open to suggestions; if you reply to this thread with a game, I'll schedule it, or tell you what I thought of it.
One of the things that's come up is that I have a bunch of games that I've played once, and not touched again.

...and FMV with Jack Black.
Anyway, we heard you like metal, so we put metal in your metal.
The lead character is a roadie voiced by (and apparently modelled on) Jack Black, so if you like Jack Black, you're off to a good start. Fortunately, I like Jack Black.
To be honest, I'm not quite sure how to categorise this game. It's a heavy metal road trip that was apparently first released in 2009(!) on console, before being ported to PC and released on Steam in 2013, and in some ways, it really doesn't really feel like a game that's 16 or even 10 years old. The design style helps with that, and the gameplay is fun so far.
