The never ending struggle of beating the backlog.
I intend to beat all the (acceptable) games in my library. This promise has taken me way too many years and is still in progress. I don’t intend to complete games. Aiming to get 100% rate is not worth it for me. Completing the main campaign (or similar) and getting as many achievements on the way counts as beating the game for me.
May 2025
Less gaming in this month but continued cleaning old bundles with Thief. Likely focusing more on co-op games during next months.
Finished
Not as good as I hoped for. I have played the original ones but cannot remember the details so hard to compare. Traveling in city had too many loading points. I also disliked how the dashing mechanism worked. Felt too floaty and kept bumping into guards because of that.

Started digging through my old bundles again. Picking games that I had planned to play someday years ago. Fulfilling that promise now.
Finished
Achievement are broken for some reason. This one was alright action game. Played it in two player co-op. All areas were done pretty well but nothing exceptional. Might get hectic with four players and high difficulty.
Short and sweet enough. Perhaps not as good as the earlier games but it had that Devil May Cry feel.

It feels I haven’t made much progress this year. One reason could be that current games seem to be time sinks. Or I don’t throw enough hours at the problem. Oh well. Marking Nordic Ashes as finished as I likely won’t play it anymore.
Finished
VS clone with a viking theme. Was pretty alright. Different characters gave it variety.

Way late for this update but better than never? Slow month. Didn’t really play that much compared to usual activity. Against the Storm feels kinda nice but has quite limited gameplay strategies and each round takes too much time, in my opinion.

New year, old backlog. New games, old routine.

You either like idling games or then don't. This one was somewhat cozy.

Year is over. This one resulted in slight increase in backlog. Got some of the oldies up and running behind dusty counters. Nevertheless, there still remains few that are either (mostly) untouched or ones that have been hanging unfinished for way too long. Could try to tackle, at least some of, those next year. Witcher 3 will take quite long time to beat as I have all the extras.
Finished
Achievements don't work for some reason but completed the game on the highest difficulty. I would say it is solid B grade action game. For some reason, I don't roll with the way this studio works things out. Fairy tale setting was interesting but severely unutilized.
Okayish side scrolling action game with decent humor. Graphics and gameplay work but nothing special there. For some odd reason, the final part requires lots of puzzle solving, which was strange change in gameplay.
Had this mostly beaten already but finished some hanging achievements and cleared the final boss. It is pretty good game of its genre with solid amount of content.
Mine, mine, mine all day long for the dome needs your capitalistic investments. Pew pew monsters.

Got sick so had more time to play earlier on month. Than had no time at all so it balanced out.
Finished
Was disappointed with this one. Haven't played a fighting properly game for a long time so had higher hopes. The fighting mechanic just didn't feel good. I guess it emphasizes countering and dodging more than usual? I just want to smash buttons and get killer combos.

Not that much gaming this month. Played mostly HoT.
Finished
Another pretty good survivor game with Diablo (original) theme. Haven't still played VS. :D
Just marking this as beaten because won't likely play it anymore. It was fun, especially in co-op because you can get more tactical that way. Gameplay terms were confusing at first but you get hang of it after some time. No idea why achievements aren't working but got most of them.

Slower pace on this month. Have been mostly playing achievement hunting even if the games are mostly beaten. Also completed Remnants from the Ashes but it was in Epic so not tracked.
Finished
Old and pretty simple Dynasty Warrior clone. The story doesn't carry that far but it was alright smashing navy folks.

Tried this one. Shooter MOBA which is under development by Valve Didn't feel that interesting. Played single game where half of my team jumped off early game. Fun.

August 2024
August was busy otherwise but managed still to clear some longer hanging games on my list. Both Crown Trick and Death’s Door have been on radar for a while. Even tried to win them on SG and CT managed to ramp quite many entries without success.
Finished
This had been on my list for a long time. It is somewhat strange game that brings an unique gaming experience. Choices matter and will impact gameplay in an original way. Game relies heavily on text (which is also spoken) so don't get it if you don't want an (audio) book. World and characters were compelling and the story was good. Really good western style RPG without combat mechanics.
Turn based system took some time to learn. Game had some smaller UI issues but mostly it was a solid game. Nothing special but overall a good experience.
Tower defense game with card mechanics. For some reason, towers didn't have variety that I kinda expect in games like these. Different characters made slight changes to the gameplay feel but nothing drastic. Theme was interesting and implemented well. Overall an okayish entry.
Somewhat disappointed with this one. For some reason expected more. Story wasn't interesting and neither were the characters. Gameplay was okay but quite basic. Visually the game didn't catch my eye. It was short so at least it didn't try to overextend.
Simple digging game where depth comes from your Y position and not gameplay. It wasn't bad but have no interest to try the second installment.
