oof

Oof it’s been awhile sorry to become inactive. Last few months have been a rollercoaster. Changing job, planning a big trip etc. However despite being quiet on here I did manage to start finishing some games so I figured, before I’ll be gone for almost a month I’ll update my backlog a bit!

So here we go! Games I finished since my last check in;



All relatively short games or games I’ve played before but hadn’t finished yet.
Coming back to Hatoful Boyfriend was a bit weird (I mean it’s a game about dating pidgeons ) and I had some save game trouble that kept me from properly finishing some stories but I managed to resolve that.
Hustle Cat was interesting but some stories felt more worked out than others, which wasn’t too bad just sometimes a little dissapointing.
Kindergarten was eh ehm..interesting game by the time I came around to playing it I had forgotten the base premise. I used a guide since some of the quest and storylines needed some thinking through and I’m a bit dumb when it comes to these type of games.
Serial Cleaner I immensely enjoyed this game despite it sometimes tricky levels.
Boo! Greedy Kid! was a game I got through Chrono and was a fun short arcade style quick game about scaring elderly for their money.



Games I’ve beaten before but finished entirely now:

Cognitation: an Erica Reed Thriller is one of the first game I won on Steamgifts and I adore it. I’m still hoping they might some day make another Erica Reed story. Coming back to the game gave me some frustration as I had only one achievement left to get and it was playing the entire first episode without asking for clues. Which was a bit drawn out and a few save game bugs made it take longer than I would have liked. Nonetheless still one of my favourite point and click thrillers.

Games I’m ( actively )playing right now:

Sins I’ve comitted:

My next update might take a bit longer again with probably less progress, but that's okay. I intend to be more active again after my trip. If you've made it this far do you have a tip on how to handle not knowing what to play? Sometimes a big backlog and be so numbing or scary that I just start a multiplayer game and leave the unfinished games be... Anyway may you enjoy the games you play this week!

I think most people would not count getting Yakuza 0 as a sin ;) So far pretty much every review I read about the game on BLAEO was very positive. I see your playing Life is Strange right now. A great classic, have fun!

On deciding what to play…I struggle with it myself. And despite working on decision paralysis for quite some time now, I have not perfect answer. The solutions that work for me change on a regular basis. I tried working on a certain genre of games, I tried working on my unfinished category, I tried working on games that I could finish quickly according to HLTB. At the moment I participate in the monthly theme here on BLAEO and try to play games that fit. But everything I described so far only works for a limited time for me and then I’m struck again with being uncertain what to play next. I guess you have to try different things and with a bit of luck you may find some way that works for you – be it forever or only for a while.

I hope your new job treats you well, have fun on your trip and stay safe in this turbulent times!

Yakuza 0 was only 5 bucks so I really couldn’t help myself! I’ve play 3 an 4 to death on my ps3.

Thanks for your advice, just trying out different things might indeed get me a good strategy to beat backlog.
