November: Unwrapped & Unplayed

We all have games that we’ve received as gifts or won as part of giveaways that we’ve never gotten around to playing.
This month we’re encouraging everyone to unwrap those games and give them a chance.
Don’t let those games gather dust on your shelf - it’s time to give them the gift of playtime!
Whether it’s a game you’ve been meaning to play for years or one you just received last week, now is the time to give it a shot.
Who knows? You might just find your new favorite game!

You can use the following (or similar) format to make it easier for everyone’s progress to be tracked, but feel free to add any extra thoughts about the game(s) to your post!

name of game 1 | achievements obtained | playtime this month | unfinished/finished
name of game 2 | achievements obtained | playtime this month | unfinished/finished
name of game 3 | achievements obtained | playtime this month | unfinished/finished
total: | achievements obtained | playtime this month | Number of games finished

FAQ

Do I have to participate in this month’s theme?
No, as with every theme, these are merely suggestions for anyone who is unsure about what to play next. If you already have a battle plan for your backlog and/or don’t like this month’s theme, you’re free to ignore it.

What happens if I don’t participate in the monthly theme?
Nothing.

What happens if I play all of my unfinished games this month?
Your backlog will be a much smaller place.

I don’t have any unfinished games - I’ve beaten everything I’ve started.
Really? well that makes one of us… I salute you.

I already finished my entry can I play another?
Go ahead - the goal is to reduce your unfinished games list. The more you can play the better.

No, we don’t.

I wasn’t trying to brag; I just wanted to point out that the first sentence could be better worded.

I wouldn’t see it as skanda. Moving 1/3 of games into won’t play isn’t impressive.

kiiroichi

I mean, in a website specially designed to helping people manage their out-of-control backlogs, it’s a more than fair assumption.

Perfect theme! I’ll be back later in the month with a list.

Listing 4 to keep my options open, but the chances of playing them all are slim to say the least.

I just got done playing Coteries of New York! I’m not too deep into the World of Darkness lore, but although three full playthroughs for full completion are a bit much considering the replayability, I really liked it.

I don’t know about your priorities, but if you’re the kind of person who likes to have made at least a bit of progress on everything, Femboys of the Phalanx is likely the shortest game on your list.

kiiroichi

oh hey! I played the other Vampire: The Masquerade VN, Shadows of New York (I reviewed it for SGM too!), and I really liked that one, so I’m eager to play this one that seems a little longer.

A kiss for the petals is also pretty short from what I could find, so hopefully I can get it done this month too!

Amitte

Welp, this is the first time I’m hearing about SGM! I love your review. REN 👏 PY 👏 E 👏 XISTS 👏

A Kiss for the Petals is also pretty short from what I could find, so hopefully I can get it done this month too!

Do tell if you do! I’ve also got it in my backlog, but it’s not really high on my priority list as I haven’t played any of the earlier games.

kiiroichi

I’m glad you enjoyed my review!
And I haven’t played any other A kiss for the petals titles before either, but I got this one gifted by a friend and I was just feeling TERRIBLE letting it sit on my library lol. If I do end up playing it I’ll include it in my summary post along with some thoughts!
