Because I was sick, I missed the chance to get 100% on Big Walk last month. But hopefully my group of friends has time in October to fix this! Looking forward to it. As well as Urban Jungle, which I haven't played yet, but it's planned.

I finished 'The Blood of Dawnwalker' and even tho I wanted to get 100% on it, I decided against it for now. Not because any bad reasons, for all the good reasons. Mainly because the devs confirmed they will add a 'New Game +'!! Excited for it! Besides that I did not get anything big done. Just a tiny pile of games this month but at least I got to spend a GOOD CHUNK of hours in 'The Blood of Dawnwalker'!

Thanks to Chibi I decided to also have a new category in my wrap ups, which is showing of progress I made, even do I did not finish a game. Which this month would just be D4, Urban Jungle and Windswept. Barely touched any of them tho, because soon after I got really sick. Meh.

I know this post is about my personal "Game of the Month", but oh boy, this might as well be my Game of the Year!
I honestly don't know where to start with this gem. Everything just feels incredibly well made, and I barely found anything to dislike. Even the few things I did miss, like New Game+, have already been confirmed by the devs. The same goes for the soundtrack which originally was locked inside the game, the devs listened to feedback and made it available separately.

The time management initially worried me quite a bit, but it ended up being one of my favorite parts of the game. Having to actually think about where to spend your time and which priorities to pursue felt incredibly refreshing. Every decision carries some weight, and I really enjoyed that feeling.
Visually, this game is an absolute feast for the eyes, and the music is just phenomenal. The atmosphere wouldn't be nearly as strong without it. Even more impressive is how polished the game feels overall — I encountered barely any bugs during my playthrough.
And then there's being a vampire. The difference between playing as a human and embracing your vampiric powers genuinely feels powerful. You really notice how much stronger you are, and it makes the transformation feel meaningful rather than just being another gameplay gimmick.
I also loved how many different ways there are to bring the game to an end. Your choices actually open up different possibilities, which made me want to experiment and see what else could have happened.

I haven't reached 100% completion yet, though. I'm deliberately waiting until the promised New Game+ gets patched in before going back for the rest. And honestly, I'm looking forward to experiencing the game all over again with it.

I finished 'Big Walk' and 'Lost Records: Bloom & Rage' last month, and I really want to get 100% on both of those games.

I honestly thought this game might get boring pretty quickly, but I was completely wrong. It’s an absolute blast to play, especially with the right group of friends.
One feature I really appreciated is how the game automatically adjusts the audio levels of the characters, making sure everyone can be heard at roughly the same volume. The puzzles can be kinda challenging at times, but there’s almost always someone who eventually figures out the solution. We played as a group of five, and it worked pretty well.
My friends were rather skeptical at first, but they’ve all become huge fans by now. We finished the game after around 11 hours, and despite having completed the game itself, we’re already planning to go back and get 100%.
Overall, I’d highly recommend it whether you’re a casual player or a hardcore gamer. It’s a great mix of fun, challenging puzzles, and some chill moments.

As mentioned above, I got a really good handfull of games this month. I hope I can tackle the unfinished ones, once I finished 'The Blood of Dawnwalker'.

Got to finish some games. I really planned on finishing 'Bloodlines 2' before the release of 'The Blood of Dawnwalker', but sadly it went downhill with this game for me. I don't get motion sickness anymore after the patches addressing that, but i just don't like the game. I'm so incredibly bored by it, even tho the first like 3-4h had me hooked. 10h in now, and I just don't have fun anymore.

As part of a group event, I got a key for 'Neo Cab' and got 'Drop Duchy' and 'Steam World Dig' gifted. Besides that, I only got 'Windswept' myself, even tho I was really close on buying 'Moonlight Peaks'. Because I'm a sucker for anything vampire related.

I got alot of the games done, that I wanted to get 100% on! One of them beeing 'Chillquarium', which was so grindy and teadious, it got me to dislike idle games. And 'Disney Dreamlight Valley', which has an achievement that forces you to log in almost daily for a year. I finally managed to get that done!
Among some others I also finished 'Neo Cab' with 100% for a group event I participated in!

I don't really know yet, which games to pick for August here because my focus this month is more on actually finishing games in general. But i do want to Play SteamWorld Dig, and it looks like a game that has 100% potentional for me. So I will just drop that here.

ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ As the translator of this game, I may be biased with this one, but that does not change the fact, that every one I know loves this game dearly.
It is a "Wimmelbild"-game as we call it in German. You may be more familiar with it as a "Where is Waldo"-like. It's from a little indie studio in thailand, and they seem to be alot of cool people. You can tell by all the gaming, anime, pop culture easter eggs in this little gem. If you like these kind of "search"-games, give it a try, trust me!
Big bonus for me: the audio of this game is peak, i could listen to the soundtrack on repeat for days.

Summersale my friends. What can I say? Besides my luck this month on steamgifts, I got 6 games because of sommer sale. Do I regret it? No! Do I have lot's of unplayed games now.. yes. Will I fix this? OF 🦆-ING COURSE.

I finished Hellclock (SG win) and Chicken Invaders 1 and got 100% on Nordic Ashes and Witchy Business just as planned last month. "Little Problems" (SG win) was a little gem I got and went full on 100%! Loved it!

I wanna finish these grindy last achievements! An Chillquarium as a little left over from June. But just 4 achievements are missing there.

Had 4 games in here last month, and played only one of them. I also got MANY more games in June, so alot of new stuff I wanna play. So I want to focus on just one old and one new one this time. And I choose "Bloodlines 2", because Dawnwalker is comming soon, and I wanna be done with it by than. Else I'm sure I might hate it...

ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ I love this game to (bullet-)heaven and back!
Since a new DLC came out that brought in new achievements, I lost my 100% on it. As this is one of my most played games, and for sure my most played on my Steamdeck, it was a nobrainer to get the DLC and start playing it again.
If you do like bullet-hell/-heaven games: feel free to check it out! Bonus if you like the nordic theme.
