Hi there,
what to tell about me? Hmm, well let’s see. Most of my game buys are impulse buys…Well don’t judge me. Other women buy shoes or make-up, I buy video games XD
I will try to beat as many games as I can each month (right now I am at at least 1 each week), but unfortunately I’m a grown up with a job, so my progress usually depends on how much spare time I have.
Since I’m a member of Playing Appreciated all wins of that group have priority (since they need to be played within a month of winning).
What I want to achieve in 2022
- get my SG win played percentage up to 70% (it took a nosedive during the holiday season again due to some crazy friends) at 58% atm
- wrangle my backlog into submission and make him stop screaming 😱
Update 108: July 2022
Work is still kicking my ass, but this time around I managed to get some games done.
It's an okay memory game, but no real challenge.
A VN about the abusive relationship between a mother and her daughter.
Kill all the spiders and make the most carnage possible. Sometimes I found it hard to find the spiders even with the radar.
I don't think I will ever really like this game. Might be interesting for people that play the card game. I found it too complicated with all the extra rules.
A cute puzzle platformer with a nice story. Some of the puzzles are rather hard, but you can skip the puzzles if you can't solve them.
Average HOG fare.
Cute cafe sim, where you can send animals you find to your cafe. A lot of running around, doing abitrary tasks for the villagers.
It's an investigation game, where you solve cases with the clues you were given. or have found. Solving the cases is easy as long as you read all the articles. Really enjoyed the game.
Actually enjoyed the game a lot. Though I wasn't a fan of the constant backtracking.
Enjoyed the game, though I could do without the RNG parts that will suddenly kill your people or rob you of a district.
Fun platformer, loved the humor.

Update 107: June 2022
Work is kicking my ass and I am too lucky. Guess my backlog has to suffer from it XD
Walking simulator where you can only slowly walk around. Story is a bit convoluted, but still pretty decent. Graphics are good. There is a bug though that whenever you load a save or reload a checkpoint you are floating in the air and can't move. You have to go into the settings and accept without changing anything. Then you can move again.
Loved the story and game play. Had a few jump scares, but not overall scary.
Not really a full game, more like a prologe. Solid gameplay, but nothing special.
5k achievement spam game that unlock the second you add the game to your library, just install it and they are yours. It's basically a copy and paste from all the other Trivia Vault games.
Great blast from the past. Still fun even after all these years.
Really nice VN, was a bit confused by the astronaut story tbh. Loved all the Ireland tidbits.
Loved this clever HOG game. Some folks were pretty tricky to find.

Update 106: May 2022
Did not that great this time around. Too many wins, not enough time. Though I finished a bigger game so I am happy too.
It's a blast from the past and everyone that likes Point'n'Click games should have at least played this once.
This game is pure RNG hell which you can only save at the end of the chapter. Even if you get one of the better seeds it does not gurantee that you will beat the chapter and then you have to do them all over again. Achievements only pop at the end of the chapter so until then you won't know if what you did was correct.
Standard HOG fare, nothing really special to say about it.
I liked the story of this one, but the controlls were godawful. Might have been great at the time it originally came out, but did not age very well (all that love the game please do not kill me). A lot of cut scenes you can't skip, even if you've seen them a million times because you always fail one of the many QTE's because the controlls are not registering that you pressed them...

Update 105: April 2022
Late again. Work is crazy. Also been playing a lot of CoD Warzone with friends.
Loved the game as a whole, hated the maps and navigation through the maps. Found them not clear at all and have been lost plenty of times which made the game less enjoyable imo.
A cute sokoban game where you roll cats into their sleeping baskets
Weird point'n'click, only got to play the first 3 chapters
4 different HOGs, 2 that have fast travel maps, two without. Actually enjoyed all 4 of them. Had no problems with any of the HOGs.
nice little strategy game. nothing special.

I am sooo late. Work is keeping me from playing games or doing anything fun :(
Nice maze game. Enjoyed playing it.
Loved the game. Could have played for many more hours. Enjoyed both the fighting and the shop side of things.
Enjoyed the game, even though I am pretty bad at it. Some levels are super easy others are hard af. Can be at times quiet frustrating if you have to redo a level over and over again.

Update 103: February 2022
Added as many new games as I’ve beaten, my backlog is sighing in relieve.
Was fun for a bit, but got repetative quickly. You basically drive around while a story is being told, depending on who you pick up or which turns you take the story developes.
Was fun, though completing it was tedious because you needed to find every last slide.
I hoped I could get into this game, but it was just not my cup of tea. The area is far too large, I just ran around/flown around for hours without a clear goal and not even very fast. In addition to that there were several areas which were rather buggy with me falling through floors which made me restart from the checkpoints several times.
Liked the game. Sadly I had several problems with the game crashing on me and me loosing progress. Other than that the story was kinda out there sometimes. You are working as a broadcaster for a TV News show. You have to decide what to show and what not, which comment to censor and which not. While doing so you have to deal with several difficulties, be it electrical charges that zap you or little killer robot dolls, that turn off your stuff or a heat wave that makes your equipment overheat.
A short, child-focused game. A bit better than the first. Dialogue was flowing better. But nothing to write home about.
You spin your square of different colors to make your color ball hit the right colored square to get points. Several different modes and different base forms. If you are good grind on hexagon if not words is probably the best.
It works, you can drive around. But that's about it. Multiplayer is not working or I am too stupid for it. Had to kill the game via taskmanager.

I liked the game. Very interesting stories, can get a bit repetitive if you try to complete everyones storyline.
In my opinion it is an okay game, but nothing more. I wanted to love it but was actually bored after like half of the game.
Once I got it to work, crashed all the time, it was actually a fun game.
Actually really like both Viscera Cleanup Games even though the controlls were a bit wonky.

Honestly no idea what this game is about. I tried to understand it, but the lore just confused me.
This was a christmas present from Nin. And I played it with Nin and another friend of ours. Was great fun.
Classic Pac-Man game. Brings back memories of my childhood.
Loved this telltale game. Can't wait to play the second part and I am not even a really big Batman fan.
This is another game in the category of I don't know what it was all really about. Is it an FPS, is it stealth, is it a mystery. It's all of it and none.
I think to like this you need to be on some drugs shrug
A weird VN
Liked it, but I think the other entries in the series were better
Game was a convuluted mess. Could not really get into the story. Basically everyone was guilty of something.
Game got a bit better again towards the end. But not my fav of the series.
For some reason got the Chinese version of the game. So did not understand a thing. Might be a good game, who knows
My least favourite LiS game. You don't really get to know the supporting chars since you move so much. The main character mostly meets pretty racist people and I honestly dislike both main chars to a degree.
A mediocre RPG. From what I have seen a witcher clone. Controlls are pretty clunky.

Update 101: 2021 is over welcome 2022
In the last year I've completed 48 games and beaten 47 games. That's a total of 95 retired games, about half of what I did last year.
For SG wins I went from 41,72% of unfinished or never touched wins to 43,6% (an increase of 1,88% ). And for the overall backlog from 69,05% of unfinished or never touched games to 66.53% (a 2,52% drop), It is progress, I guess. Since I've beaten/completed so many games I am not gonna list them all. Too much work XD

Update 99: November 15th to 30th
Won some great games and played a few, still got 1 more game then I played though :(
Keep far away from this if you don't already have it. History questions are 90% some weird shit about russia, stuff that you can't even find on the internet or the answers are just dead wrong. Math is some weird formulars that even I as a math major have never heard of. Chemistry is mostly some random formulars and IT has just some plain wrong answers/questions. One of the great questions was What are Chinese letters called and the answer was hieroglyphs….
It's a fun game, where you roll around with your sun stone and try to complete levels and collect coins. When you die you will go back to one of the check points. Only downside is that you mostly die because you try to find out where you actually have to go since it is not always obvious and it is a rather short game.
I enjoyed this JRPG. Only downside I see is that to get the whole story you have to play it at least 3 times. Once for every character. Also I had major problems trying to beat the game on normal difficulty, so playthrough 2 and 3 were done on very easy. Which made me enjoy the story a lot more.
Played the original version of the game and it did not translate well into the future (if you play it try the community mods). Had a hard time with it. Clunky controls and all. From gameplay points of view it is GTA. First part was rather fun, missions in the second part become rather punishing and not easily doable without prior knowledge.
Visuals are still great, but controlls are kinda clunky, especially in combat. Didn't age well in that department. Still had fun with it.
Enjoyed most of the stories, some were annoying to read because they thought to be cool and use weird script that makes it nearly unreadable. Some stories were interesting, some were downright boring.
Like the game and story, was annoyed at some of the achievements, like finishing the game in less than a minute.
