May is (almost) done so it’s time for another backlog report. 2018 Backlog Destruction

I tried to take part in this months theme, grateful assassins, by beating some of my SG games. A lot of them didn’t have achievements so I didn’t submit them in the thread. It was still a good way to get through that backlog and also meet one of my yearly goals, 75% SG completion! My next milestone will be 80% which should be possible by the end of the year. I’ve also increased my goal to 100 total games beaten (up from 60).

Overall 14 games were completed (two of those technically count as five games) with 11 of them being SteamGifts wins. I would recommend Tiny Echo and Kathy Rain if you are interested in point-and-click adventure games. I even wrote a review for Tiny Echo for those interested. I finally finished off Shovel Knight too. The Plague Knight DLC was a bit irritating but I got there in the end! Nothing else I beat this month really stood out.

May was also a month where plenty of games were being given away so my backlog ended up getting 14 new additions. So far I’ve accumulated 39 new games this year but beaten almost 70, which is acceptable I suppose. As long as the backlog is shrinking I’ll manage!

The plan for June is to blast through some of my already-installed games and clear out my library a bit. Unless the monthly theme is particularly interesting of course.
