Completed SG wins

Grow a Carrot
Playtime: 28.5 hours
Achievements: 12 of 12 (100%)
Review: A cute idle game that has potential but is a bit too flawed and buggy for now. Issues: bad UI, buggy achievements, slow start and no end game, the platforming in the platformer part is terrible, no offline progression, spams Steam inventory with worthless items. Good: variety of different ways you can earn your carrots depending on effort, It has some really good ideas, cute bunnies and graphics. Works fine on Linux with Proton (9.0-2).
Snowtopia
Playtime: 3.9 hours
Achievements: 36 of 36 (100%)
Review: Very promising game, with more work on it it would have probably turned out fantastic . But instead of working on it the developers decided its too hard and used a cheap excuse to basically abandon it. The state that the game is right now is extremely buggy and is missing a lot of features you would expect the game to have. It also has bad performance, buggy achievements and absurd price point. Works fine on Linux with Proton (9.0-2).

Other completed games

Sticky Business
Playtime: 14 hours
Achievements: 36 of 36 (100%)
Review: Cute game where you can design your own stickers and run a sticker shop. It is generally a pleasant experience however it left me wishing for a couple of things: more variety of sticker/sticker themes and a bit more in depth management of your sticker business. But overall I enjoyed it even tho it was a bit grindy to unlock every sticker/upgrade. Works fine on Linux with Proton (9.0-2).
Travel Mosaics 10: Spooky Halloween
Playtime: 16.8 hours
Achievements: 7 of 7 (100%)
Review: An ok nonogram/picross game with 140 levels to solve + 20 bonus levels of different variety (memory, slider puzzles). It is not bad, but also had a couple of things that annoyed me: you can not save mid level and it has a stupid 3 star system which penalizes you for mistakes/missclicks. If I make a mistake I will figure it out with time when things stop adding up by myself. There is no need for this. Works without any issues on Linux with Proton (9.0-2).
Glass Masquerade 3: Honeylines
Playtime: 5.3 hours
Achievements: 7 of 7 (100%)
Review: A really nice jigsaw like puzzle game with 30 images to solve in a variety of piece cuts and playmodes. The artstyle is very nice too. Works without any issues on Linux with Proton (9.0-2).
Pixel Puzzles Traditional Jigsaws
Playtime: 319.5 hours
Achievements: 683 of 683 (100%)
Review: It is basically Pixel Puzzles Ultimate, but with better UI and less jigsaw puzzles to solve (currently around 600) of many different sizes and lots of varied images. If you like jigsaws and don't mind shelling out some money for them (in the form of DLC) it is a really solid pick for a game and it has some free puzzles so you can test it out if you like it first before buying more. Works without any issues on Linux with Proton (tested form 8.0-2 on).
20 Small Mazes
Playtime: 49 minutes
Achievements: 1 of 1 (100%)
Review: A great puzzle game with 20 mazes to solve and each maze comes with a different creative twist and its free on top of it too. Sliding puzzles should be illegal tho. Works without any issues on Linux with Proton (9.0-2).
