February 2026

Absolute power moves this month! Finally 100%’d Dead by Daylight, and I made a ton of other completions! Still net negative, as I gained more games than what I completed this month, but next month should be even more completions (DBD took a ton of time this month…).

Games I Have Fully Completed


Half-Life 2

Cast n Chill

4.5/5
50.7 hours
32 of 32 achievements

Quite the chill idle game with nice active elements and plenty of fish to find across a lot of beautiful locations. In the latter half of the game, I didn't really have much to do with my currency, as I was just hunting trophy fish, but that's not too big of a deal. Recommended :)

Half-Life 2

Assassin's Creed Origins

4/5
92.8 hours
67 of 67 achievements

This was my first entry into the Assassin's Creed franchise, and it was definitely a fun introduction. The environments and historical accuracy were quite impressive, and I found myself enjoying the gameplay. It's definitely a good open-world game, but it does suffer from somewhat simple combat and a pretty forgettable story. However, in the end, I enjoyed my time with this one. Recommended :)

Half-Life 2

Tower Wizard

5/5
10.3 hours
12 of 12 achievements

An excellent incremental game. It has good pixel art paired with a satisfying gameplay loop with enticing progression. The game respects your time while also providing you with the dopamine that these incremental games are known for. It's a perfectly balanced incremental game, and one of the best in the space. Highly recommended :)

Half-Life 2

Remnant Records

2/5

There is a reason this game doesn't have many players. It was interesting at first, but it quickly became a boring slog, riddled with bugs and issues. My friend and I encountered so many issues and inconsistencies in the gameplay, which made 100%ing the game even more painful than it needed to be. Not recommended :(

Half-Life 2

Nodebuster

5/5
4.6 hours
13 of 13 achievements

This was a pretty good incremental game. It had a satisfying gameplay loop with good progression, upgrades, and animations. It did become a bit too heavy on the eyes after a while and wasn't really too idle, but I still enjoyed playing through a more active incremental game. Highly recommended :)

Half-Life 2

Shelldiver

5/5
3.4 hours
13 of 13 achievements

Another great incremental game! The systems are really addictive and dopamine-inducing while respecting your time. The art style is also really nice and appealing to the eye. Not idle by any means, so I don't know why that's a tag, but this was really fun. Highly recommended :)

Half-Life 2

Terraria

5/5
353.6 hours
137 of 137 achievements

Had to complete it again for the 100%. Still a wonderful game, but they could've done without adding these new achievements. Highly recommended :)

Half-Life 2

Goblin VS Princess

1/5
24.1 hours
27 of 27 achievements

This game dragged on way too long for a game that wasn't very fun to begin with. This is a very boring incremental game that offers little variety and doesn't respect your time. I didn't get a single dopamine hit from this incremental game, which is pretty bad for a game in this genre that is all about them. The dialogue is also choppy and uninteresting. AVOID!

Half-Life 2

Brotato

3.5/5
136.3 hours
177 of 177 achievements

Just replaying this because they added one more achievement in an update. The game is pretty repetitive and boring at this point, but it was fun for the majority of the time I played it. Slightly recommended, but know that it is extremely grindy and requires DLC to 100%.

Half-Life 2

Dead by Daylight

3.5/5
708.2 hours
294 of 294 achievements

This is a fun game, but it is hell to 100%, and it gets boring after a few hundred hours. I likely won't keep this 100% for very long, as they constantly add DLC with achievements like every two or three months, but it is what it is. Don't get this game if you want to 100% it.

Half-Life 2

SPACEPLAN

3.5/5
12.3 hours
no achievements

This was an interesting idle game. It isn't really the most engaging, and the clicking was really obnoxious on my hands and wrist, but the animations and dialogue throughout the game were pretty interesting. If the dialogue wasn't as good, I'd be more mixed on this game, as the dopamine hit wasn't exactly the best, but thankfully, the dev added some humor to make it more entertaining. Recommended, but keep in mind that the gameplay isn't really the most enrapturing :)

Half-Life 2

Anomalous Coffee Machine

1.5/5
31.2 hours
60 of 60 achievements

It has lots of interesting visuals and transformations, but the concept is more interesting than the execution. The gameplay is monotonous and boring, and it doesn't make a lot of sense a fair bit of the time. It also doesn't have as many words as you would expect, which results in a lot of frustration when testing out words for unique dialogue and transformations, and essentially necessitates using a guide for all the different transformations, scenes, and more. Not recommended; I'd stay away from this one, even if the concept seems interesting to you.

Half-Life 2

The Medium

4/5
9.6 hours
39 of 39 achievements

It definitely felt like a console game, but it had a wonderful story. I found the gameplay a bit tedious near the end, and I wasn't really the biggest fan of the 2nd dream world sequence, but the excellent atmosphere and interesting characters made this game triumph over those downsides. I do have to say the ending wasn't the greatest, but I get why they did it that way (especially after the scene after the credits). The game also had performance issues throughout. Recommended, but beware of its issues :)

Half-Life 2

Khimera: Puzzle Island

5/5
37.1 hours
24 of 24 achievements

This was a pretty fun game! It had a lot of charm, and the devs put a lot of heart into this to make it more than just your standard Nonogram game. One of the best nonogram games I've played on Steam so far. Highly recommended if you like Nonograms :)

Half-Life 2

HuniePop

The game isn't bad, the characters are cool, and the scenes are nice. However, this game wears out its welcome, becoming a real grind after a while. I also didn't like having to do two playthroughs to fully complete the game. It isn't a bad game by any means, but it was just really exhausting to play and felt like it went on forever when trying to 100% it. I'd recommend this if you want a Bejeweled-type game and don't mind the grind, but stay away if you aren't a fan of tedious grinds.

Half-Life 2

Merchants of Rosewall

1/5
24.3 hours
18 of 19 achievements

I really wanted to like this game, but it's just so buggy and tedious. I encountered multiple near game-breaking bugs and plenty of typos. The story also felt a bit contrived and pushed an overly optimistic message about complex issues that wasn't practical by any means, while also not showing the result of these ideas. Also, the game has an impossible achievement that you only realize exists after going through this slog of a game. AVOID!!
