Final verdict:
I consider it to be a good year backlog-wise. Even if the net backlog counter is still positive (+7) and I played fewer games compared to 2024 (38 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.




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!
