The real reason I have made progress on my backlog (look at that trend line):

May 2020

Steam reviews are up for all of these games.

I re-completed a few games, played several demos (not listed), and have started playing summer sale purchases.

Backlog Assassinated

After more than 3 years of dedication to my backlog I finally made it. During this time, I discovered some really great games (along with several awful ones). My expectations for, and perception of, games has grown and changed - hopefully for the better. I intend to make less mistakes in the games I choose, while still taking enough chances to find some hidden gems.

Steam reviews are up for all of these games.

First, I addressed the final unplayed game in my library, which had just appeared. This encouraged me to go back and complete the previously “beaten” game.

Super Bit Blaster XL

Next, I took out the remaining unfinished games. This went faster then expected because many ended up in the “won’t play” category - there was a reason I stopped playing them in the first place.

I then decided to check out this free game I had been waiting to try.

Finally, I noticed a previously “completed” game had several new updates and many more achievements. I will play this some more, but do not expect to 100% it again.

Just as I think I am approaching the end of my “never played” collection a new game shows up out of nowhere 😠️! I will address that game and begin my review of “unfinished” this coming month.

February Review

Steam reviews are up for all of these games.

Most of the month went toward Two Point Hospital, which was great. After about 50 hours though, it started to feel more tedious than fun. At this point, I do not plan to get the DLCs or try for all the stars.

A few new games added, but I continue to make slow and steady progress.
