My life consists of various backlogs: here are a few of them. Garcias’ profile

Profile Update: 31/01/2026
Joined: 23/07/2016
I mainly play games for the story and gameplay, and I enjoy almost every type of game unless it's too scary/creepy or hard.
I've joined BLAEO mid-2016 with monthly updates during 2016 and 2017, which I've returned to in 2025. Between early 2018 and the end of 2024, I divided my assassinations into the Main Quests - which consists of steam games - and the Side Quests - which includes every other platform on PC, having individual updates for each game I finished, but I found that too cumbersome.

January 2026

This was a great month where I could really enjoy gaming and have the desire to game even after a stressful day at work, which is a feeling I love to have. Four of the games beaten were picked by PoP although I actually had two of them installed and planned to play in January, but it is indeed great when things line up that well.
I’m enjoying having 1/2 games I can focus and play through depending on the amount of time and attention I can give each day, and an additional third game to play in short bursts (this month it was Glass Masquerade 2). I really feel like there’s a good balance with this “system” and that I will hopefully maintain it when I do have the free time to play.

Planet of Lana

Planet of Lana

8/10
about 5 hours playtime
15 of 25 achievements (60%)

Beautiful game! The art and music are spectacular. Only the story leaves a bit to be desired, but there's definitely room to improve on the sequel, which I'm looking forward to.

Chrono Trigger

Chrono Trigger

9/10
about 32 hours playtime
1 of 13 achievements (8%)

I don't play many JRPG but this one is indeed fantastic. I loved pretty much all the characters and was sad that I couldn't have them all on my party!

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage

6/10
about 16 hours playtime
29 of 49 achievements (59%)

I felt like most of the first part was very slow and longer than the second part. I ended up caring about Kat and Nora, but couldn't really give a crap about Swann and Autumn – not sure if it was just me or not that felt that way. I feel like that there were a lot of things unanswered at the end of the game. What I most enjoyed was actually the time setting and the Summer teenage "vibes" and time spent there.

The Expanse: A Telltale Series

The Expanse: A Telltale Series

7/10
about 9 hours playtime
23 of 35 achievements (66%)

It was good to get back to the Telltale gameplay after some time. I've never read the books but I did watch and enjoy the TV show, so this was a good addition to that universe. Initially the voice acting felt a bit strange and off-beat, but I got 'used' to it after the first episode. I definitely enjoyed the time I spent space-walking more than some other missions – for example, episode 4 I could not enjoy at all. But the DLC was a nice addition and, although a change of pace to the main episodes, still felt fun to play through.

Glass Masquerade 2: Illusions

Glass Masquerade 2: Illusions

7/10
about 8 hours playtime
35 of 40 achievements (88%)

I preferred the overall theme and stained glasses/puzzles on the first game, but this one was still enjoyable to play through. However, the whole map navigation was very bothersome, though, because the puzzle "preview" and description took a bunch of space of the screen and it was hard to navigate through the map and choose the next puzzle.

December 2025

Last month of the year. A few assassinations. But this month also marks the month I’ve reached 700 unplayed games. It really feels like I let this get out of hand and I have no idea on how I will be able to take care of the ‘backlog’. Not that it is an issue that I have so much to play because it does not bother me, but seeing that number versus the number of games I managed to play and finish in the last ten years, when I had more or less free time each year due to the way life is, is kinda worrisome.
Either way, happy new year and to a great 2026.

Yakuza 3 Remastered

Yakuza 3 Remastered

7/10
about 37 hours playtime
20 of 50 achievements (40%)

Great to return to Kamurocho and also visit Okinawa. It was a bit rough to play through the beginning of the game and also the end, when I was already tired of the never-ending substories and decided to rush through the final chapters, but in the end I ended up still enjoying Yakuza 3.

Citizen Sleeper

Citizen Sleeper

8/10
about 7 hours playtime
10 of 27 achievements (37%)

I enjoyed this way more than I expected, even though I felt like time was always running out and on a rush to 'finish' the game and, at the same time, that I did not have enough time/energy to do everything I wanted, but that was probably my fault and not the games' own design? Not sure about that, this was my first TTRPG or similar experience.

Electrician Simulator - First Shock

Electrician Simulator - First Shock

6/10
about 41 minutes playtime

A simple and solid demo for the whole game. I had a free week night and decided to play this through before I start playing the main game.

Assassin's Creed Rogue

Assassin's Creed Rogue

7/10
about 16 hours playtime
14 of 46 achievements (30%)

I enjoyed this way more than Black Flag. I still hate and suck at the naval combat, but this one felt way more manageable to play through. I've enjoyed visiting Lisbon and seeing what they've done with the place (since I'm portuguese), but the whole game was fun and playing in the role of a Templar as well was a good change of air. Now onto Unity in 2026!

Detective Case and Clown Bot in: The Express Killer

Detective Case and Clown Bot in: The Express Killer

7/10
about 4 hours playtime

A fun sequel to play through, as fun as the first one was. It's been ages since I played it and I didn't even remember I had already bought this one. RIP Filipe Pina, thank you for everything you did.

Glass Masquerade

Glass Masquerade

7/10
about 6 hours playtime

Beautiful game. There were some harder puzzles than others, but overall Glass Masquerade was fun to play through. I had one annoying bug happening a bunch of times until I realized I should click and drop the pieces and not drag them to place, but other than that all went OK.

A better month, now getting back in the rhythm and routine that I was used to. I was close to finishing Yakuza 3 this month but some other hobbies and tasks took advantage of me and my free time, but I’ll try to finish it sooner than later since I’m close to the end (probably 6-10 hours left, I assume).

The mighty project finally ended today, so last week has been quite relaxed, unlike the past 6 months. This was the first 40 hours week in months and it felt really weird; I’ve finally had a bit of free time to play something during the nights and, honestly, I was feeling a bit guilty while doing it because I was not working all the time, but I’ll get back to the rythm hopefully soon enough. Having PTO the next week will definitely help! Now to rest a bit, get back to the routine and drop the 5 kg I earned due to stress and long days.

I've only did one playthrough - reached one ending - and that was it. I would've hoped this was more interesting or fun to play through, even if there isn't much gameplay at all, but that wasn't enough to make me even want to play a second time. It ended as quickly as it started, and I probably won't remember much about it when this is published.

Entertaining but gets boring fast if playing through for the achievements or on easier difficulties, liked I did. After a few levels, there's not enough content or variety to make it wortwhile unless playing with those goals mentioned previously. It was useful to catch up on some podcasts though! And light enough to actually play after the days I've been having at work.
