Final verdict:
I consider it to be a good year backlog-wise. Even if the net backlog counter is still positive (+6) and I played fewer games compared to 2024 (39 vs. 44) and for less time total (871 hours vs. 973), the % of unplayed games went down (-2%), mostly thanks to the fact that I managed to add only 45 games to my library this year (vs. 87 in 2024).
The actual big change, though, is that, last November, after 8 uninterrupted years, I finally decided to cancel my Humble Bundle/Choice annual subscription. Consider that I checked and I saw that at the moment more than half of my unplayed games (241 out of 447) come from HB subscriptions.
So yeah, let’s say I managed to keep my backlog HP bar from growing out of control and that I hopefully put down a solid base to actually start chipping at it next year.

Happy New Year, Dog! Wish you a lot of love, happiness, good health and many fun games to play. :3
Oh yeah, I feel you with the monthlies. I cancelled in 2024 and can’t say I regret it. ;D
I have 154 games from Monthly/Choice and 120 are still waiting to be played… working on it slowly, but steadily. ^^
I, for one, congratulate you on canceling your Humble subscription. It’s good value for money, all things considered, but it’s such a deluge of games with such a high frequency that it can be something very overwhelming to deal with. You can always come back if you feel you have no games to play :)
Happy holidays!
Sorry for the super late reply… Happy holidays to you all! Play games and stay safe ;)
Congratulations on your assassinations! ᓚᘏᗢ
Cancelling that HB subscription will really help aha, I think my last monthly was in Oct 2023 and pretty much everything has showed up in Fanatical bundles or gone on crazy sales, no need to worry about FOMO!
Happy New Years!
