So I’ve indulged horribly and ended up with a load of new games. That said, I have completed a few games that I’ve had in the backlog for years, so it’s not all a loss.

Clash: Robot Detective - Short visual novel that I just breezed through because it had a robot in it. Off to a bad start, because this was a new game.
Proximate - Fantastic short horror with an imaginative interface.
Error: Human Not Found - concept I like, but no strong feelings.
Bunker Punks- have had this for ages without completing it, but decided to plough through. Really enjoyed it.
Borderlands 4 - No waiting on this one as I hate spoilers. Technically still playing DLC, but completed the main game.
The Beekeeper’s Picnic - I backed this when it was in production, and yet it took me ages to get round to actually installing and playing it. What a beautiful game.
Wild Bastards - Enjoyable robot gun battles.
Planetarian - I cried. Shut up.
No Case Should Remain Unsolved - excellent short game. No regrets in making my backlog temporarily longer with this.
Do Not Feed The Monkeys - Preferred the sequel, but still one less key hanging around.
Paradise Killer- I had this key for a while, and finally got round to it. What a quirky and brilliant game.
Periphery Synthetic - Interesting little exploration game that can be played in audio or visually.
The Case of The Golden Idol - Enjoyed this, but left me wanting more. I’ve been restrained and not bought the sequel.
Distant Space - I think this was a freebie. Promised myself I would not let it linger on the backlog, and finished it speedily.
Town of Light - I’ve had this one for a long, long time, and honestly should have played it sooner. Sad but interesting.
Without a Dawn - another new but very short game from a creator I like.
Epigraph - yes, another new one. Finished this mostly on the bus with a notebook.
The Long Dark- the only thing stopping me from finishing this was that it was still in production. No longer. Last episode wasn’t perfect, but I can’t complain at the fun I’ve had from this game over the many years of production.
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach - look, I was not going to wait on this one, backlog or no. Backlog battle is on hold while I obsess over this.
Growing My Grandpa - short, weird, loved it.
The Children Of Clay - a 20 min game a friend recommended. Good!
TR-49 - I can’t turn down Inkle bargains. Short and excellent.

I’ve recently added a few keys that I’ve had sitting around un-used, pretending they weren’t in my backlog because I hadn’t technically redeemed them yet :P No excuse not to play now.
