May 2020
__________________________________Still testing
This is the first month that I make a report for. So I hope this looks a bit decent.
I took some inspiration from other reports that I liked. (Like LeoTurambar's reports.)
At the end of April I joined Steamgifts and at the beginning of May I joined GGPlayers.
Because of that I'm seeing a lot of new and interesting games. I got so lucky in winning a few!
There was one game that I won on Steamgifts that I didn't receive. The gifter had made a mistake and had given the key first to a friend. But the gifter was first kind and said they would get me the game. Eventually they just blocked me on steam. That was very disappointing. But I like the forums and other wins went much better.
I won this game from a Playing Appreciated giveaway. Like most games on steamgifts it wasn't a game that I knew, but the art style peaked my interest.
It was a fun game, but now I'm waiting for more! I want to know more about the story and the world.
I won this game on the GGPlayers website from the Everyone is a Winner giveaway.
It's a game that I had wanted for a while and I was super happy to have won it.
The game is so pretty, it's like playing an anime. I loved every minute of it.
This game is free to play and you can get an extra secret ending DLC for it if you register on the website from the devs. It's a really fun game with funny situations, love, intrigue and choices.
This is a game that I bought. It was fun to play and nice to look at. For saves it uses the user name from your computer. I did not like that. But the game itself is nice. It did end abruptly and I should play part two to know how it ends!
This was the game with which I applied to become a member of the Playing Appreciated group on SteamGifts.
I had a problem with my achievements, I didn't know that they wouldn't unlock if I played in offline mode. Won't happen again because I like getting achievements!
I won this game from a Playing Appreciated giveaway. I was super happy with this game, it has a really nice art style. The puzzles were not super easy, but not difficult either. Just a nice, relaxing game. It is very short, but I would still recommend this game.
May The 4th Be With You
It was my first time participating and I really liked the idea to motivate myself to play certain games.
I participated with a few more games that I hadn't won on SG, but I didn't end up playing those so I left them out.
Sci-Fi & contains a 4 in the app ID
I didn't have any wins yet at the time that I entered so I got permission to enter with a unplayed game from my backlog.
Story rich
Magic
Games won on the Steamgifts website
I won this game in an open giveaway. I really like the Civilization games and I wanted to play an older version. But I sadly I couldn't play this game.
When I started the game it got to the "home"screen. But once I wanted to start a game it just crashed. I could leave the game open and it would stay open, but as soon as I wanted to start a game it would crash. I tried for two hours total, several different times, to get it to work. But I have now added it to my "won't play" list.
I won this game in the forums. Someone was giving away a few games and they picked me for this game. The first hours I loved it. It was relaxing and nice music and also pretty. But after a few hours it became somewhat repetitive and I didn't enjoy it as much. So I decided to leave this game alone for a while.

I won this game through an invite only giveaway. It's not as easy as it first looks. It took a while for me to clear the first case. It is a fun game but I should play it some more.

Games won on the GGPlayers website and discord

I won this game during the discord giveaways from GGPlayers.
It was really fun during the giveaways, I had a great time.
Because I got this game towards the end of the month I haven't played it yet.
A few days after winning Wizard of Legend I also won this game during a discord giveaway from GGPlayers.
Like the previous game, I have not played this one yet because I won it at the end of the month.
Your post says “May” so I got confused for a second and had to check the date… “We’re in June, right? Right?”
Yup, we are June 😋
But I wanted to make this for May. I’m also planning to make one for June. But it takes longer than I expected 😅
Yeah I got that after reading your post but at first I was really confused haha.
It’s a great post though! It’s definitely worth the time and effort :)
Thank you! That’s very nice to read.
💜
Nice report! And I’m sorry for the bad luck with that giveaway, luckily SG has lots of cool people :D
Thank you 💜
And it was disappointing but I got super lucky and later won a giveaway for that game again! 🥳
The second giveaway that I won for it even had all the DLC! So super lucky and happy about that. I didn’t put that in this report yet because the new giveaway was in June. But I’m planning on making a report soon.
Wow, good karma! :D
Nice nice, I will look forward the next report :D
I’m sorry, I totally forgot to give you credit for how the report looks.
I’ve added your name to it now so people know where I got my inspiration from 💜
My second report is live now. I’ve added another donut chart. I preferred the look of the ones you used (and that I used in this report) but the new ones have hover information. I couldn’t figure out how to do that with the others. The new ones look good in firefox, but I heard they look weird/small in other browsers. No idea how to fix that 😅 yet!
If there is anything that you like about my reports, feel free to use it! I have made a “sjabloon” post on my profile that has some different things on it. To make it easier to copy something if someone likes it.

Hope you have a splendid day!
Ahahah, don’t worry about that, I only feel happy if something I use looks good enough for someone else to copy, and that’s how things work here :D
I’m constantly looking for ways to make my reports more appealing, thus I will certainly look at your sources :D
Have a nice day too!
thats why ggplayers sound so familiar. Friend tried to get me to join them on discord but I wasnt about to create a gmail account for them when one of their admins is blacklisted. to much hassle with how many people there are. I know my luck and I dont have enough for fighting even a 100 people
On my laptop this time and your post is nice. Also welcome to the play a win event, I am an unofficial admin without any rights, so basically just a normal member who stalks the site to much
Hello again!
Yeah, GGP can seem weird. Lot’s of people think it’s a scam, but if it is, I haven’t found out yet. You do have a lot of chances in the discord to win games and even steam gift cards. Less people there and it depends on the hour of the day. The person doing the giveaways tries to change the time so everyone can have a shot on winning. Their philosophy has evolved and now resembles the philosophy of playing appreciated. So that’s also nice.
Thank you for the compliment and the welcome! It’s a really nice event. I do have a tendency to try and take a bigger bite than I can manage. So that’s also nice about the event that I can learn to be moderate and not push myself too much.
💜
Yeah while my friend hasnt won yet they did say they trusted it and with that many people how can it be a scam, didn’t see a 1000 threads about how they should be sent to jail. Unfortunately the amount of work to join the discord and stuff is to much. I got so many emails addresses out there but I use 2, both not gmail which sucks.
Also plenty of people try to much, I remember before we had the site there was just this one person who had like 20 games planned then the next month (after barely getting like a quarter) still had over 10!
Wow, 20 games?! That’s a lot.
I hope I don’t get so ambitious.
yeah it was something like that then i think they brought it down to 14 the next month claiming they shorted it yeah totally
