Monthly Update: December 2024
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!

Completed
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!

Happy New Year!!
Really nice bunch of new additions to your backlog, hope you enjoy them!!
What is the first screenshot from ? (the one with the ducks) It looks super cool.
Happy New Year! 🎊
I’m pretty excited for a lot of them, just need to get the time to play them 😅
That’s actually from Garden Life! You can decorate your garden, and those are some of the items you can buy. It can be very pretty at times!
just need to get the time to play them
Don’t we all 😅😅
And thanks for the ref, it’s really pretty!!
One day we will all time to spare, and have no backlog left.
(This has to be true for someone, right?? 😅)
Happy New Year!
You have some very nice games planned for 2025! Enjoyed both Beacon Pines and Darkside Detective - Dooley is a sweetheart. <3 Very much loved the Guardians of the Galaxy! Hope you will have fun too. :)
And Balatro! Really liked it in DAVE. ;) Tempted to grab it myself… but as it is highly addictive I am keeping my distance for now. xD
Oooh it was good to read your review - makes me more eager to get started with the game as well!
I am pretty excited to get around to some of these games - just depends on my mood at the time haha
I was going to avoid buying Balatro for exactly that reason (and it would distract from other games), but then Green Man Gaming discord had it as one of their giveaways recently… and of course, it is now mine haha. What a shame! ;)
Happy new year!! ᓚᘏᗢ
New internet speeds new you. Now you can complete games x2 faster, right?
How was The Gunk? I thought the ending was kinda silly.
Happy new year to you as well!
Sure, that’s definitely how it works. Be ready for 2x the completions this year! 😉 (Please don’t expect this..!)
I really enjoyed it - I didn’t really mind the ending, but very predictable to be honest. I liked the build up to going to the tower and the whole progressing up, felt very old-school boss like. The actual ending of them leaving the planet was meh, as the characters I found a bit bland and annoying, but I guess it worked for their characters.
It turned out a lot better than I was expecting, so maybe because of that is why I enjoyed it as well!
