End of 2025 Update
🎉HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!🎉
Oops...
Work restructured at the beginning of the year, and my mapped role had all the work I liked removed from it. It luckily has gotten better since I started my new role in July after many, MANY interviews over about 8 months.
Not too much gaming happened since getting this role until I played Hades II! Otherwise a lot of my spare time this second part of the year has just been reading fanfiction and playing sport.
I entered PAGYWOS Secret Santa this year which was a lot of fun, and have been gifted some amazing games from some amazing people - you can see the list on the backlog tab, and also the progress here
2025 Summary:
62 games added to the backlog this year. 41 of them were added in December....22 Games Beaten/Completed: 15 Completed, 7 Beaten
2026 Plan:
I don't really stick to plans for gaming, but a few games such as Cyberpunk and Clair Obscur are my main big games I want to play. I also would like to finish Batman Arkham Asylum (we will see haha). My ever changing list for 2026. This list is mostly longer games/series I want to focus on, and I'll probably pick from my Secret Santa snowballs list to break these up.
Played
Since my last update at the end of... May(?!?), I didn't really play much except for Hades II until December!
Completed/Beaten
Same as Hades 1 really, just with a lot more game and a new character/story!
I loved the two paths, as it gave more variety.
The music, especially for the Sirens fight was amazing and I had it on repeat for awhile…!
Song on YT
(Sorry writing this months after I played if you can't tell!)
Once I got into this, it was actually really fun!
The Photo mode is also brilliant.
I did have to coerce nin to come help for a couple of the multiplayer achievements (Thanks nin!) as even on Very Easy it was difficult solo especially for those escort/defend missions where you needed to also do something outside the defense zone… Luckily it was really easy once one person is a high level to run a high level mission and get the other person the correct gear so it wasn't as painful as I thought it was going to be.
Very addicting, and perfect game on the Steam Deck.
I was going to go for the 100%, but then I got my new job and gaming fell on the back burner so its just going to stay at Beaten now haha

Monthly Update: May 2025
Probably a combination of a break from PC after Oblivion, and it being so cold here that I've been in bed with the electric blanket constantly!
I played a lot this month, but only in 2 games, Wylde Flowers and Fantasy Life.
My backlog is crying
I did manage to beat a win the month I won it though, which is rare for me!
Played
Beaten
I really enjoyed this game - I was going for the 100%, but realised once I beat it that I missed a recipe riiiight near the end.
So I'd have to replay the game (and maybe try get all the recipes again??). This made me lose interest pretty quick haha. I might go back later..
Perfect game for the Steam Deck
Played
Impulse purchase tbh. Usually I put a lot of thought into big purchases, but decided if I didn't like it I'd refund.
Well. It has been really fun! Story wise is a bit repetitive, but I'm finding the game play loop fun. Still feel like I have a lot to do. I'm enjoying leveling all the professions so far. I think it would be well over 100 hours to 100% this game.
Another perfect Steam Deck game for this month.

I gambled on Fanatical. Haven't done it in ages, but was thinking that I haven't given away much on SteamGifts recently so either way someone would get something. I actually activated more than I thought I would. Not sure if I'll get around to playing them anytime soon though!-

Until suddenly I got the motivation to go back and re-100% Forager!
And then Oblivion released, I still had a few days off work, and well.... I was originally planning to play Jedi Survivor, but Oblivion called!
As someone who only played a few hours of the OG when it released (and can only really remember the sewers..), I really enjoyed it. All the guild quests were great, but not sure if the Thief or Brotherhood one was my favourite.
I started to get a bit over it by the time of the DLC and I wasn't as engrossed in that storyline, but overall it was a great time.

I did have some completions/beaten games this month still!
I also tried a few demos, such as:
- Solarpunk I really enjoyed (crafting/building/survival-ish).
- Game of Thrones: Kingsroad was better than expected, very follow the path set in the first bit of the game I tried. Still not sure about the lore and think it might have been intended as a different game until they added the GoT environment. I'll likely play it though. It looked great and character creator was also excellent.
- Lost Skies is another floating island game with gliding. Gliding was OK - but I much preferred Aloft's gliding. Has combat, climbing and grapple hook. Also puzzles. I played for a bit and I gathered and crafted, but no building yet. This is a wait and see game for me..
- Wanderstop was very scenic - I was really wanting a photomode in this game because of how cool it all looked! Not to sure on gameplay, as I didn't play for long.
- Sugardew Island I gave up on my desktop - it may play better with a controller but I had enough pretty quickly.

Old HB keys
So I went back through all my leftover HB keys to either giveaway or activate with the latest changes where HB will not bother to replace keys after 3 years (If they even restock them before then..)Most I ended up giving away but did keep a few, just in case!

Not as many completions as I wanted though - Sticky Business you need DLC, and Aloft has a couple of bugged achievements.
So 2nd month in a row I have run into bugged achievements. Ah well!
Aloft has been pretty fun, just casually building a flying home island.
You can also easily despawn your island and then claim another and swap them in and out as you want.

Happy New Year!
Big difference from last month.I both added a lot of games to my backlog, and managed to have some completions and play some fun games!
I played some longer games such as PoE2, Marvel Rivals and Coral Island.
My Coral Island stats are bugged, and I played probably an extra 15-20 hours offline, which it hasn't counted. It also didn't unlock those first few achievements. Coral Island also became the 3rd(I think?) game I played this month that involved clearing out trash, the 2nd of which was underwater.
May have been a bit of a theme this month!
Much more game activity from me, and this is with having no internet for over a week. I had 'upgraded' my plan with the same company.. then was on the phone (mostly on hold) with them for cumulatively about 10 hours over the week until they fixed the issue on their end... But, my internet is now double the speed for the New Year, so worth it!

Very simple game - plant, harvest, hope to RNG that you get the next seeds you need to fulfill requests.
I enjoyed playing this - very simple and relaxing to play while chatting on discord.
Nothing exciting or new game play wise.
A lot better than I was expecting.
Great game for screenshots as well.
This game was the first of the many games I played this month that revolved around clearing out trash…
Super cute game - about halfway through I realised you could remove the pixelation style graphics in the menu.
This made the experience a lot better personally.
The second game of the month that involved clearing trash…

I also got a lot more in gifts that I expected, 4 from the SteamGifts gifting thread alone!
A lot of the games from here are ones I've been entering giveaways for for ages - I've already completed The Gunk and Loddlenaut from this :)
As I hide most games on Steamgifts, I currently only have 4 giveaways on the homepage!
RIP my backlog for the next year or so haha. I went so well this year not adding much to my backlog until this month!

Played a bit at the beginning of the month.. I think I might be at 0 hours played for the last 2 weeks!
Essentially been smashing the work overtime while it's available, and we are going through a restructure.
Waiting to see what role I'm mapped to, and I have put in an application for one of the new roles. Not sure on chances, but eh worth a shot!
I did 100% Hades earlier in the month though so I'd say this month is a success. Sorry about my lackluster comments on games played this month!
I also didn't take any screenshots...um. Old ones it is this month..

Nightingale wiped all of the achievements I worked hard on earlier this year (and even made a 100% guide for!)...
Sooooo I re-100% it and made another guide. (Pls don't wipe again)!
I'm also very close to 100%ing Hades, so that was some good progress this month.
Not much else happening, except I am going back to my substantive role at work tomorrow so I get to say farewell to WFH nearly every day.
Life is going to be tough 😆

The update wiped all the achievements which was annoying as a completionist!
The new update is good story/progression wise - the game now has a progression tree to unlock recipes/crafting stations which is a lot better than the previous iteration where you had to find traders for specific recipes. The story now has set story realms, rather than the realm/npcs being randomly generated on an area of a map. Makes it a lot simpler to help others/find out information/less chance of something blocking progression.
Along with 100%ing the game again, I made another 100% Steam achievement guide for it as I went. Hopefully there won't be another achievement wipe! :D
I got to the Epilogue, so the game is now Beaten… but I'm still really enjoying the game and I'm pretty close to the 100%!
Hopefully it will be a completion next month :)
Using I don't like games like this, but I really enjoyed the gameplay, and of course the setting and story, voice acting were all great.
I especially liked how it seemed like no dialogue was repeated…even though I have gone through so many runs against the same enemies. (Even Tisiphone's 'Mmmmurddder' was different, and had development as you went!)
I definitely recommend it if you have any interest in it!
