Fourth week of March
I am really not happy with the progress this week, but oh well, what can you do. Also Valve broke their reviews (it ignores line breaks making reviews illegible) so I can’t even post the whole review of Poly Bridge on there… It just got fixed apparently. So I could now finally post my review complaining about it.

Review: Do you like to torture yourself? Enjoy pain and suffering? Enjoy doing the same exact thing over and over with completely different results? You find fun moving things pixel by pixel till you get the desired result? Then oh boy do I have a game for you! The main issue is that the physic of the game is inconsistent which is, well, bad for a physics game and the game gets ridiculously hard. Linux version isn't great either, but it works fine with Proton.

Review: A nice and simple puzzle game where you need to connect together road tiles and make a path for a car from the beginning to the end location. There is 50 levels to solve which are all pretty easy and straight forward with a few more challenging levels towards the end. Issues are a lack of clear labeling for tunnels and that one achievement is broken (dev gave a half assed fix for it on the forums). Linux version works fine.

Review: A decent puzzle game where you have to find 2 halves of a cuboid that fit together. There is a 100 levels in total to solve and only really the last few actually require you to stop and think a little, the rest are really easy. But hey, it is a nice relaxing experience and it is really cheap so can't complain too much. Works fine with Proton.
Third week of March
Only 2 games completed this week, but I did actually beat 3 more on top, i just didn’t have the chance to 100% them yet: Crusader Kings II (lol good luck to me on the 100%), Yesterday Origins and Emily is Away <3. And on top of that I also started but haven’t finished a couple. It has definitely been a busy week even tho I spend most of the week.

Review: A simple but nice puzzle game where you have to move tiles around, rotate them and have them change colors till you have a continuous loop of the same color. There is a 100 main levels in total to solve and then a basically infinite level generator if you want more. Personally I found the game a bit too hard for my taste, but that doesn't make the game bad by any means, its very good if you want a good challenge. Linux version works fine.

Review: The worst game in the series to far in my opinion. Compared to the previous games it does improve on graphic and it plays a lot more like point and click games you find nowadays (it originally came out in 1991), but the rest of the game is inferior. It is however still not a bad game and it definitely stands the test of time, it is just not as good. Its also missing a manual that you need to beat the game... Works fine with Proton.

Review: It is not the worst survival game out there (I have seen some horrible things), but it is also very much not good at all. It lacks badly in content, polish and balancing. And in the short time I have played the game before I decided it wasted enough of my time I managed to bug the menus so badly that I couldn't even save and exit the game, I actually had to kill it. Oh and there is a bunch of fake positive review too. Works fine with Proton.

Review: This one has me stumped for what to say about it. It is just ... weird? You are basically a kid in an orphanage and you pretty much just walk forward, occasionally kill stuff, do some match 2 puzzles and collect some food and notes. It works and runs fine, it is just not good from the group up. Works fine with Proton.

Review: I will start of saying that this game is from 1988 so the gameplay mechanic are not what you get in newer games. Instead of clicking stuff like you would in a normal point and click you have to actually type what you want to do which does actually work pretty well. The 1st one is better and this one has some issues, but overall its pretty good for its age. Works fine with Proton.

Review: I will start of saying that this game is from 1989 so the gameplay mechanic are not what you get in newer games. Instead of clicking stuff like you would in a normal point and click you have to actually type what you want to do which does actually work pretty well. Other than relaying on the manual way too much (you get a shitty quality PDF on Steam) it is good. Works fine with Proton.

Review: A really enjoyable jigsaw puzzle game with 30 city themed images you can solve on 4 difficulty levels (40, 80, 200 and 400 pieces). The images are nice except the St Petersburg one which is black and white and annoying on 400 pieces. Other than that my only complaint would be that the difficulty of a jigsaw stated in game doesn't match reality for a lot of them in my experience, but you can just happily ignore that piece of info. Works fine with Proton.

Review: A really nice matchstick moving/adding/removing game with 60 levels to solve. There were a couple of levels with a bit questionable instructions how to solve them (level 14 bothered me and the ones that say the squares must be connected) but other than that it was a pleasant and relaxing experience. Works fine with Proton.
First week of March
Once again only 3 games done when I wanted to get 4 done, but considering I technically only had 4 days for them (only 5 days this week and 1 day I was doing a 12 hour stream aka no time) 3 game is not too bad either.

Review: An interesting game where you control a radio and record clips from different radio stations to send it to other radio stations to progress through the story. I don't think I have seen a concept like that before and I think the whole thing is actually quite nicely executed. My only complaints would be the weird keyboard movement in menus and the silly fact that they call the enter key the return key. Who on earth does that?.... Works fine with Proton.

Review: It is from 1987 so the gameplay mechanic are not what you get in newer games. Instead of clicking stuff like you would in a normal point and click you have to actually type what you want to do, but that works quite well. There is also a VGA version which is more point and clicky instead. The story itself is really sleazy, but that is something you willingly sign up for when playing one of these so I can't really complain about it. Works fine with Proton.

Review: Removed from the store for probably a very good reason. The game starts of really confusing and weird and doesn't explain itself at all (the tutorial is a Youtube video that has been made private...), however I did the hang of it for the most part after a while. From what I gathered it is actually quite a decent concept (you basically have to place chips on a PCB board in the correct positions) just executed absolutely horribly. Works fine with Proton.
February overview
Some decent progress has been made and I can’t complain too much. But I can hope March will be even better :)

Review: It is a really nice clear the road type time management game. One could say that the game doesn't really innovate anything over its predecessors and it is a pretty much a repeat of all the previous games, but it does its job well so it doesn't really need to change anything to still be enjoyable to play it. Only really annoying thing about it is the achievement to beat the developer score on 20 levels which is frustrating. Works without any issues with Proton.

Review: I have very mixed opinion about this top down shooter. There is levels that are really fun but there is also levels that are incredibly frustrating. The controls took me a little while to get a hang of but once I got them they worked really well with keyboard and mouse. The achievements don't work on the Linux version of the game. The devs are aware of that since 2016 but never fixed it. However luckily the game runs without any issues with Proton.

Review: An alright puzzle game with 96 levels to solve in either normal or timed mode. The timed levels just seem to be mirrored normal levels for what I can tell and I was not a fan of them, but normal mode was enjoyable. At the beginning I was worried the game would be extremely easy but the difficulty did go up after a while. There is a few things missing: dark mode doesn't work, an undo button and a keyboard bind for resetting. Work fine with Proton.
Third week of February
Welp, there goes my positive ratio of completed vs acquired games. Thanks Fanatical for giving away a bundle of 6 games (technically 7, but I already owned one). Will have to try to get through them all next month. Luckily they are the Leisure Suit Larry games so they are decently short.

Review: This could actually have been a fun game if it was finished and fixed up. But in the state it is right now it doesn't seem like you can buy any weapons or ammo, there is unfinished screens and opening the settings menu crashes the whole game. Works fine with Proton.

Review: A really enjoyable jigsaw puzzle game with 30 images you can solve on 4 difficulty levels (40, 80, 200 and 400 pieces). My only complaint I have about the game is actually quite silly and doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, but whoever sorted the images by difficulty has no idea what they were doing. There is some "extreme" puzzles that are way easier than some of the "easy" ones... Works fine with Proton.

Review: I really thought I would love this game as I like puzzle games and I like the aesthetic of it, but nope, I found it incredibly boring. You basically plant plants and put trash around them which makes the plants grow and give you seeds so you can plant even more plants with the goal of trying to cover as much of the environment with greenery as possible. Has a stupid grindy achievement on top as well. Works fine with Proton.

Review: I think there is 2 things you need for a good platformer: good controls and good level design and this game manages to fail on both of those so the 80 levels just felt like torture. On Linux you gotta select the 2nd option when starting the game or the game wont start. But I switched over running the game with Proton instead as the native version worked better when it comes to not screwing up the resolution.
Second week of February
The games this week were less than great, but hey, at least out of the backlog they go. And my ratio of acquired vs beaten for this year is already back in a good standing \o/.

Review: Horrible horror game, I think the scary part is just how bad it is. I don't know if this is the fault of me running the game with Proton on Linux or the game itself, but the first time I started it I had no sound (second and third time the sound was fine) and the FPS was just as bad as the game. On top of that the game wont minimize when running it with Proton either.

Review: A terrible RPG maker game. Good luck getting anything done as it keeps throwing you into fights that are next to impossible for you to win from the very beginning. And this is not a skill issue, it is an issue of the game being horribly designed. On top of that the positive reviews this game has are blatantly fake. So not only the developers are unable to make a decent game, they are also scummy as hell. Works without issues on Linux with Proton.

Review: I really enjoyed the newer Tomb Raider games so I thought giving a go at an older one would be a good idea, but oh boy I was wrong. This game did not age well, at all. The game is buggy, the controls are horrible and this might sound silly, but I really could not stand the sound effects for some reason. I am gonna stick to the new ones that actually make sense instead. You can get it working with Proton, but there are serious issues.

Review: I have very mixed feelings on this game. The game itself is decent point and click and the story is ok (I found it boring at the beginning but it got me interested after a little while) but the 2 main characters are both unpleasant people. But the ending is not great and hits at a sequel, but that sadly never happened and supposedly the company that made the game doesn't exist anymore. Shame, I wouldn't have minded playing another one.

Annnnd I am almost in the positive progression numbers :D Only reason why I am not even is because I have added Trackmania to my Steam account instead of just having it on Uplay and I dont quite feel like counting that one as completed yet.

Review: It is a decent Luxor match 3 game, but definitely not one of my favorites. I mainly just didn't like the way the levels were set up with towns that you travel to by playing multiple levels and would way prefer liner level setup. In the levels themselves the gameplay is good however. Works on Linux with Proton, I just had to turn the settings down to low because otherwise it was lagging a bit. Once I done that the game ran without any issues whatsoever.

Review: A cute game where play a guardian you have to gather resources, complete quests, defeat enemies and restore 4 different villages each themed after the 4 seasons. The game started a little slow and very confusing to me but once I got the hang of things I was actually enjoyable. Few Issues: control scheme is bad, everyone talks too much and some of the achievements are grindy. Works fine with Proton.
Achievements: 10 of 10 (100%)
Review: This RPG maker game was not horrible, its alright, but it has a few issues: the story is kinda weird and at least the good ending feels very unsatisfying and kinda wrong, If you wanna earn a decent chunk of money you have to either play incredibly boring minigames or ones filled with RNG nonsense that are also incredibly unenjoyable to play and achievements don't work on Linux and Mac. Works fine with Proton.
January overview
I would say January has been a pretty decent start of the year when it comes to completing games. I hope the rest of the year reminds similar.
