February/March: All Aboard!

How's everyone's start into the year been? Smooth sailing so far? If not, maybe the new theme can help! It's all about ships, whether on the ocean or in the air, and if you want you can even extend the theme to other modes of transportation (maybe you like trains?).

And of course, as the title image suggests, you can also focus on the "board" part of the theme and play some board games! Maybe a few new ones just made their way into your library during the latest Steam sale? Time to play it!

Okay, let's get serious

FAQ

Do I have to participate in this month’s theme?
No, as with every theme, these are merely suggestions for anyone who is unsure about what to play next. If you already have a battle plan for your backlog and/or don’t like this month’s theme, you’re free to ignore it.

What happens if I don’t participate in the theme?
Nothing.

What happens if I play all of my unfinished games before the theme is over?
Your backlog will be a much smaller place.

I don’t have any unfinished games - I’ve beaten everything I’ve started.
Really? well that makes one of us… I salute you.

I already finished my entry can I play another?
Go ahead - the goal is to reduce your unfinished games list. The more you can play the better.

Hello nellyneko and thank you for this new theme !
facepalm i just finished Beacon Patrol last month (ship + board game)

Crash Dive 2 50/69 HLTB : 5h Time played : 12h Beaten (13/03/2026)

edit 13/03/26 : Finally i could play it more, finishing multiple times the main campaign.
It’s an amazing arcade submarine game made by a single dev. You don’t need a full 400 pages manual to learn, just like a 15 minutes tutorial. Missions are randomized, fun but repetitive. Well on another hand, there are not so many things to do with a submarine ? On easy it’s clay pigeon shoot, relaxing ! On sim difficulty, we have to learn when to use the periscope and when not to, when to dive, flee or engage the enemy, or change course. AI then becomes the hunter.
