The real reason I have made progress on my backlog (look at that trend line):
2021 Q1 Review
Steam reviews are up for most of these games.
I had been playing fewer games so I stopped posting monthly. I probably should have posted in February considering I played (and completed) 10 HOGs and a few others. I am currently playing 2 (very) different games.

2020 Q4 Review
Steam reviews are up for some of these games.
I have not had much time to play lately, but below are the ones I have been able to spend at least some time with. It also seems to be the case that I need to start planning my next build:

Someone kindly sent me a gift copy of Forge Quest, unfortunately I found it boring and have not found a reason to continue playing it.
I finished the Graveyard Keeper DLC, but have it installed still in the hopes that maybe another will be announced sometime around Halloween. That probably will not happen, but I can hope.
Littlewood was fun for some time but was quite shallow.
Life is Strange 2 had a good start and I will probably pick up the rest of the series at a good discount.
Steam reviews are up for all of these games.
I have played a lot of demos over the past few months, they really help confirming which games go to the wishlist and which ones can be ignored. Other than that, I finished up my Summer Sale purchases and played a few free games.

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.

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.
