August - December 2018
No assassinations for a long time. I’ve been playing sporadically, but not consistently enough to finish any games. I also did a little gaming away from Steam. I picked up Watchdogs 2 from Amazon when it had a price error and have been playing it a lot over the last week during my holidays (29 hours in and at 64%). I haven’t been on Uplay or Origin for a while and have a few games I completely forgot about on there. I should probably include those in my stats somehow or make an effort to play them!
I actually did another clear out of games that I didn’t think I’d play again and reduced the number of games I have. Then went on a little buying spree. The total number is still lower.
Not that exciting in real life either - work was pretty busy, I went to Hong Kong for a short holiday, and I entered and won a kickboxing tournament. I’m healthy though and nothing really bad happened, so a good year in all!
2018 in retrospect
I didn’t clear any games, but have managed to improve most of my stats. My never played games are dropping as I make an effort to play them and the will never play games have been played or removed. One small annoyance is that as far as I can tell, removed steam games still count towards your average game completion. So even though I have fewer unplayed games, my average percentage dropped a little :(
These are my statistics going into 2019. I’m happy I keep these in my profile, as I can see how my backlog has reduced over the last two years.
