Pan-Pan: Very short, non-verbal puzzle game. I had fun. Recommend to check it out on a discount if you’re into puzzlers.
Artist Idle: Free, medium-length idle game. It had a few interesting ideas, but generally it wasn’t really engaging and very repetitive, so I can’t really recommend it, even if it is free.
Outpath: First Journey: Free demo for a game that feels a lot like a 3D-forager. I liked it and am definitely considering picking up the full game at some point.
Margo: Short and free point-and-click game, very easy, very easy 100% achievements, if you’re into that sort of thing :)
End of Year Summary
These were my goals for the year:
- I wanted to reduce the pile of unfinished and never played games from 67% to 64%, but I managed only a decrease to 65%.
- I also wanted to up my total number of completed games to 270 (from 228 last year), but nearly missed my goal with only 266 completed games.
- Finally, I wanted to increase my completionist score to 64% from last year’s 62.0%, but I only reached about 63.1%.
It appears I failed all my yearly goals (again!) which is really just fine (again). I had fun gaming and living life and that’s (still) what really matters. I had a lot less time for gaming this year and also tried to be more engaged with other stuff so that’s good. I want to keep this healthy balance next year while still having some goal posts to work towards, so these will be my new goals:
- Reduce unfinished and never played games to 63%
- Total number of completed games: 310
- Completionist score: 64%
That’s it from me. I hope 2026 is going to be a good year for all of you <3.
