Update 34: Santa really does hate my backlog or the love/hate relationship with my friends
First off I have really great friends. Secondly, they do hate my backlog, some of them even said they wanted to make him cry more :(
Why do I say that? Well with wins and some games I activated myself and gifts I got 52 new games in December and 12 DLCs O_O
Can you hear my backlog screaming?
Well now on to the games I have beaten/completed in the last two weeks of December.
Really liked the game. You felt immersed in the murder mystery. Some things I did not like were:
- some of the puzzles just were annoying, since you could not really decern what to do or you clicked the correct part, but nothing happened
- all the comparing of the letters written by the murderer got really annoying too, I mean if you could have compared more than the 3 letters it would have maybe fun, but having to compare the same characters over and over again…
Completed the game. Actually reviewed it earlier. Liked the game, but completeing it was a pain in the ass, due to some of the achievements Not really happening without a guide. Make one wrong decision and you have to replay everything all over again.
Things I did not like:
- no save games, e.g. you cannot save your progress at a certain stage, go further in the story and go back to that part again to get another achievment
- no skip button, therefore you have to click through everything manually
Gardens Inc. 2: The Road to Fame 
Nice time managment game. Nothing bad i can think about. Only completing it was kind of annoying. A whole shit ton of ingame achievments, but none on steam.
What can I say about this one. On one hand it is fun to do, on the other hand it is quite challenging and frustrating to clean 100% of the blood and do all the other objectives. Been killed/caught several times, when i had 99% of blood collected and was just missing this elusive 1%.
Overall a fun game, if you are not an achievment hunter.

Lol, I need some of your friends. I certainly wouldn’t complain if people wanted to give me games O.o
Good luck beating your evergrowing backlog!
Well to be fair, it is my backlog complaining, not me :P
And I also gave them some gifts, so…
52 games! Your backlog is totally throwing a party right now! A welcoming party for all the new backlog member xD
I still hope you’ll enjoy the games <3
Have a great year, my dear Sam! \o/
Wow, 52 games is a lot… Still, I hope you enjoy the games and (even more important) your great friendships in 2020.
I do and I will. Well the 52 games is half wins and the other half is some of my old keys+gifts. But still it is a crazy amount of games :D
Well with wins and some games I activated myself and gifts I got 52 new games in December and 12 DLCs O_O
You had one job. ONE JOB. :P
Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus
Fellow Magos, how do you do? It’s always a good sign when you start playing and then have to replay the tutorial because you got killed. It’s optional and all, but I wanted to save my team. Chills when Necron started to talk.
First off I have really great friends. Secondly, they do hate my backlog, some of them even said they wanted to make him cry more :(
<33
Well I only state the truth, Mistress ;)
52 new games? damn sam. thats 2 months worth right there
Shoot me please :(
shoots you whoops turns out i didnt reload
I was about to say now mouse needs a new slave… damn.
dammit i could’ve taken over your work! just let me reload and try again
ill have all the power to abuse
And I did not even buy anything for myself in this sale :-/
But at least most of my wins are short HOGs. Now I need a theme where I can play them all for PAGYWOSG to steal Nins title as Queen of HOGs
I brought 2 more games today so I’ve brought just so much from the sale, had to make up for the whole year I spent not buying anything
