2 January 2021 / Summary of December

So I just thought I’d make a post although there’s not much I played this December aside from Cyberpunk 2077 which I’ve already posted about. Before its release, however, I played mostly random games and none from my batch, of which I only have The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition and The Last of Us Part II left. I think I’ll be parking both of those for now and picking other games to play instead, as I just don’t feel like finishing them right now. I also don’t feel like my batch system has been working for me that well so this year I’ll be just playing games one by one in whichever order (of course still trying to focus on gifted games). I still intend to finish by Bad ABC and HOG ABC as terrible games and HOGs is something I tend to play every once in a while.

Beaten:

Half-Life 2

Book of Demons

Exceeds Expectations
22.6 hours
97 of 202 achievements

I've played this before quite a bit but during December I've finished the story playing Rogue. Of course I should finish playing Warrior and Mage too and then there's free play, but I think I'll be coming back to that later - it's one of those games I tend to remember and play once in a while. Not too special but includes some nice comedy to brighten the "serious" dungeon atmosphere.

Half-Life 2

Mansions of Madness

Outstanding

It says right there I have 0 hours but in fact we've been playing this with friends for a couple of months on friend's account, and in December we've finally finished all investigations in the vanilla game. Yay! We've got our hands now on some physical expansions as well as digital DLCs so I expect we'll continue playing this for quite some time.

HOG ABC progress: I played some more of these but I won’t continue as they’re endless and got boring real soon.

Great idea, making a list of bad games for in between! Playing bad games is really exhausting, but sometimes also a bit hilarious, depending on how long the game actually is. An actual list might be just the push one needs to start a bad game once in a while. I wish you good luck with your Bad ABC plan :)

Thanks! I’ve already played some, it’s a good cooldown between normal games and is indeed hilarious. I also noticed it actually makes me appreciate good games more, especially if it’s a genre I rarely play :D
