Greetings! Yindy’s profile

So, it seems you managed to stumble upon my pile of shame.

I know, I’m a horrible, horrible, hoarder that lacks discipline, or maybe an attention span, I suppose. :)

The idea is to finish games before starting new ones… Though, I guess it doesn’t quite help me, at all, that I’ve also got a console/origin/uplay backlog that’s not shown here… Runs away to hide in a dark corner


I’ve decided to start keeping track of monthly progress bars to see if things actually change, and how they change.

Somewhere in July 2023

2% (61/3361)

September 2023 report

(Or the month where my bundle buying habit relapsed)

  • Coromon

    24.0 hours playtime

    no achievements

  • Was started in august, was sure to finish it this month. But I got distracted once again by other games.

  • Kiwi Clicker

    67.0 hours playtime

    25 of 71 achievements

  • It was in a bundle. And idlers are my weakspot… Just to once again think they’re pointless, this one wasn’t even fun, and abandoned it. \

    Half-Life 2

    LEGO® City Undercover

    8/10
    18.5 hours
    20 of 48 achievements

    Got this in the steam summersale, and loved it.
    An original lego game with actual voices and filled with lego humor.
    You're an undercover cop and you have to catch Rex Fury. But things don't always go as planned, you go undercover, unlock different vocations and get in ridiculous situations.

    It's fun, you should try it.

    Half-Life 2

    The Smurfs - Mission Vileaf

    7/10
    6.8 hours
    11 of 28 achievements

    Growing up I loved the smurfs cartoons. Seen the more recent movies and they were pretty fun, too.

    It's a cute, colorful platformer that starts out quite easy but gradually increases in difficulty with monsters to beat and obstacles to pass with your new abilities.

    At first it was weird hearing the English names instead of the Dutch names, but got used to it pretty fast.
    Overall a decent and enjoyable platformer

    Half-Life 2

    Emily is Away <3

    5 of 15 achievements

    Won this game on steamgifts and instantly gave it a try.
    And, thank god I'm out of highschool.

    I remember liking the previous entries, but this one felt like a bit of a drag to me. Maybe because of the forced facebook interactions instead of just aim with a single person at a time, or I don't know. It just didn't click for me

    Half-Life 2

    Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus?

    6,5/10
    3.7 hours
    15 of 17 achievements

    A virtual who did it mystery told through an interactive movie.
    The actors were quite good and the story was ok.
    What I didn't like it being forced to play through it several different ways with different choices in order to find out who did it. Not enough clues? Sucks to be you, but you can't accuse anyone, even when you're sure they did it.

    I'm missing 1 accusation, but couldn't bring myself to play trough it just for that person. And they didn't do it anyway

    Half-Life 2

    Turbo Golf Racing

    7,5/10
    2.7 hours
    no achievements

    This game is fun! Compared a lot to rocket league, but minigolf instead of football.

    I really like how you can play it in short bursts and, more importantly, wether you win or fail is entirely up to you. No frustrations with teammates doing stupid stuff.

    Half-Life 2

    Trolley Problem, Inc.

    6/10
    1.4 hours
    6 of 12 achievements

    A game that basically offers you a lot of heinous choices. Would you kill 1 child in order to save 5 people? for example.
    There's a story about starting your job at a trolley inc corporation and climing the ladder to other functions. But, to be honest, barely paid attention to it.

    Half-Life 2

    She Sees Red

    6,5/10
    1.3 hours
    11 of 15 achievements

    Yet another fmv game. This time you're a detective, trying to solve a murder in a nightclub.
    I liked it, played through it a few times to see the different endings.

    Half-Life 2

    Tiny Tina's Wonderlands

    1.2 hours
    2 of 47 achievements

    I really, really, really should've played the demo first….
    I like the concept and humor and hoped that is enough. But, it's a fps and I just hate fps games in general.
    Will probably come back to try to finish it, but for now, I don't like it.

    August 2023 report

    After seeing a few other people do it, I’ve decided to give reporting at the end of each month instead of each individual game a try.
    August has been quite a productive month.

    • Decided to finally mark a few games as won’t play, seeing as I’m simply not skilled/patient enough/don’t like those games/am stuck/not interested.
    • Tried a bunch of random games instead of sticking to the game I’m playing.
    • Finished a couple of games that were unfinished for ages.

    Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online

    7/10
    21.7 hours
    42 of 50 achievements

    I've got a weakness for cute anime games, especially the neptunia series because it's full of jokes, puns, and breaking the 4th wall.

    In this game you play as the goddesses playing an online mmo. The goal is to beat the main story and, oh, save the gameworld while we're at it.
    It's fun, but also quite grindy.

    Half-Life 2

    Disney Epic Mickey 2

    22.8 hours
    21 of 44 achievements

    This game has been quite a ride: Started and stopped playing it quite a lot of time; including on the PS3 because I got frustrated.

    It's an ok game, it's a lot of fun and I love disney.
    However, Oswalds AI is at times so damned annoying, it rarely does what I want it to do which makes it quite frustrating.

    All in all a happy disney game, and, it's finally completed. :)

    Despite being awful at driving/racing games and shooters, this game was quite fun. I liked it a lot more as expected, just not interested enough to actually play the dlc.

    You play as an undercover cop that joins a Triad through your childhood best friend. Get morally conflicted between being a cop and a triad.
    Lot's of fighting, racing, stealing cars.

    37 of 79 achievements

    This game has been on my radar since release but, well, I don't have a playstation 4 (nor 5). After it came to pc I just found it to expensive, especially with my existing backlog of games…

    During the summer sale, I finally bought it and have been playing it since.

    I really enjoyed myself, despite being a walking disaster with a bow and arrow/aiming. (Which is why I pretty much never play shooters.)
    Luckily, there was this thing called story mode and have been able to melee most monsters, except those damned birds and a few bosses, that is.

    The story: It felt surreal to have Aloy running around with her bow and spear against machine animals. To see a culture worshipping the old ones/machines/AI while it's something that's starting to be so present in our lives.

    I don't know. I just got the feels.

    This game has so much potential. It's fun to play, but it has some major downsides:

    • in early acces since 2017 and there don't seem to have been any updates
    • Controller layout plays awkward
    • keyboard works, but it displays the controller triggers
    • Only 'fun' mode available whenever you play a new song - which comes down to 2 or maybe 3 different buttons, quite repetitive.

    It's still fun to kill a few minutes, however.

    If I beat games I just bought, does it count as a backlog?

    So, the steam’s summer sale was here, and even though my library is massive I’ve still bought a few games.

    The games I bought:

    I've been eyeing this game since release and finally decided to buy it in the sale. 'Only' 20% off, but definately worth the price tag, even though it's short.

    You play as a cat, what starts out really cute turns into a post apocalyptic world.
    There's some platforming, but it's mainly a puzzle game where you have to find stuff in order to do/unlock more stuff.

    Super Lucky's Tale

    7,5/10
    8.8 hours
    28 of 58 achievements

    A friend and me where looking for games to play as couch co-op on de Switch, after beating Yoshi's crafted world together.
    So, we ended up downloading the demo of New super lucky's tale, even though it wasn't co-op.

    I immediately fell in love with the whimsical artstyle and the music.
    So, instead of buying it on the switch I bought it during the steam sale, because it got bundled with the previous game.

    Its a cute little platformer. I do believe the requirement of clovers for a few boss battles was a bit high but I used the dlc clover's to finish it.
    All in all it was a fun little game.

    Immediately started new super luckys tale right after, but levels are to similar/the same so its on hold.

    Final Fantasy XV beaten.

    …And I just don’t like it.
    To start: I don’t like/get the combat system. It just didn’t click for me.
    The endless car rides to get from A and B where to much, it felt like an overkill over which you had no control.
    The story just didn’t do it for me, either.

    But. hey, at least I’ve beaten it! True, mainly due to easy mode and getting infinite revives on noctis, but still.
    I gave it a fair shot, it’s just not my kind of game.

    Which is a shame, I really wanted to like it.

    It’s been a while.

    After starting my studies I kinda lost the time to spend on gaming.
    After catching covid, my concentration/motivation to do, well, anything really.

    Fortunately, I’m done with my studies, I’m starting to get my concentration, focus, and will to actually play games back, too.

    Forgive me for not making pretty posts, I kinda forgot how to do that stuff, too.

    [b]Pikuniku and Hogwarts Legacy [/b] are, together with pokemon Violet, the first games I’ve beaten this year.

    It’s up to me to make sure they’re not the last ones.

    Guess what? My backlog got backlogged!

    Oh well… It’s an impossible pile anyway, so I figured I’ll just play what I want to play and stop if I don’t like a game. Sounds actually pretty normal and healthy, right?

    Shadows of Mordor (Again)

    So, I’ve played through shadows of mordor once again… AFter my first playthrough I got so disappointed by the final boss battle I completely lost my interest in the dlc. With shadow of war also in my backlog, I wanted to play through mordor once again to remind myself the story. The celebrimbor dlc is so worth it!

    Forager

    Well, I’ve bought every possible island/slot and got all the weapons, that counts as green, right? I do like it, but I’m just feeling done with it, even though there’s always more stuff to do.

    Alchemist Adventure

    I’m hooked to this, one of the few games I bought instantly after it hitting early acces. Sure, there are still some bugs and the game ain’t complete yet, but it is just so much fun
