Jaded
This month has been purely played on Steam Deck.
Probably a combination of a break from PC after Oblivion, and it being so cold here that I've been in bed with the electric blanket constantly!
I played a lot this month, but only in 2 games, Wylde Flowers and Fantasy Life.
I did manage to beat a win the month I won it though, which is rare for me!

I really enjoyed this game - I was going for the 100%, but realised once I beat it that I missed a recipe riiiight near the end.
So I'd have to replay the game (and maybe try get all the recipes again??). This made me lose interest pretty quick haha. I might go back later..
Perfect game for the Steam Deck
Played
Impulse purchase tbh. Usually I put a lot of thought into big purchases, but decided if I didn't like it I'd refund.
Well. It has been really fun! Story wise is a bit repetitive, but I'm finding the game play loop fun. Still feel like I have a lot to do. I'm enjoying leveling all the professions so far. I think it would be well over 100 hours to 100% this game.
Another perfect Steam Deck game for this month.

I gambled on Fanatical. Haven't done it in ages, but was thinking that I haven't given away much on SteamGifts recently so either way someone would get something. I actually activated more than I thought I would. Not sure if I'll get around to playing them anytime soon though!-

Congratulations on your assassinations! ᓚᘏᗢ
Ooof, sorry about the last recipe in Wylde Flowers, I really hate it when games make missable objects tied with achievements. Trails in the sky trauma, probably. Fantasy life looks good, I have it on my WL but I’m not so sure about it just yet.
Congratulations on your Fanatical Gamble! Looks like you got some neat stuff.
Thank you!
Yeah games that have missable achievements, especially ones that rely on collecting recipes like this one are such a pain. You tend to only find out once you have got the rest and google the missing recipe haha.
Fantasy life is fun if you enjoy the leveling gameloop, similar to MMOs, Runescape etc. it has a lot of stuff and I like how I’ve been flicking between exploring and killing monsters, crafting, gathering and the base building. If you hate any kind of leveling, I’d not recommend it though.
I think the games I got are actually pretty interesting - just see if I get around to playing them, like the rest of my backlog 😂
