November’s Stats
aka. The backlog monster keeps growing
I’m gonna be honest, this was a disastrous month for the backlog fight. As bad as when I got Monster Hunter World earlier this year. Basically, except for a small exception, I’ve only been playing Prey. A lot of it. (At least it was good). I’ve decided to try and catch up with 2018 games I’ve been intended to play as soon as I got them (but clearly didn’t) in December. Which seems to fit right in the monthly theme, so this is perfect. I didn’t manage to play anything for the past month’s theme, and even fed the backlog with a few bundled games as well as some from the chrono.gg coin shop. Hopefully I can have some gaming done before it gets busy with the holiday season, and the backlog gets fatter with xmas & the winter sales.
So, what about you, what are your plans for december?

This was a great game, with an interesting way of entangling 4 different stories while still telling each of them individually. I really enjoyed playing it, and it turned out being more appropriate than it seemed for the beginning of november and the celebration of the century since the end of World War I. I'll have to revisit it as some options can only be seen once you've played further in the other stories. A great way to make choices matter too. Definitely a strong recommendation.
Prey

That game ended up eating most of my gaming time this month. I shouldn't be surprised when once again an Arkane game takes me way more than what HLTB says it should. I had to go through every nook and crannies of the station, getting all the collectibles stuff, finding every single individual in the employee manifesto and of course doing every single side quest before moving on with the story. I had a no human kill playthrough with only human powers, which means I'll eventually go back to the game for a different kind of run, but for now I think I need to take a break and play something else. Anyway, it was a really great game, as I was expecting from Arkane Studio. Solid RPG experience, cool story and a lot to do and explore. Strongly recommended.

Already finished two games for the Monthly Theme and I intend to finally finish LEGO Harry Porter and I’ll try to finish The Evil Within 2 on PS4 and restart Prey on Steam.
I already gave up on my backlog. I know I’ll never finish everything so I’ll just enjoy what I can =)
Well that is some fast progress :3 How are the LEGO harry potter compared to other lego games (if you have played other lego games that is.) ?
I hope you have fun with Prey, it was a really cool experience.
I fear you’re the most lucid of us all.
I only finished LEGO Marvel Super Heroes but I also tried, but haven’t finished yet, LEGO Batman and LEGO Star Wars - The Complete Saga.
LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4 is a nice and fun game, has a few bugs, crashes some times on my Windows 10, but nothing that made rage quit and drop it.
I played Prey’s first mission a few months ago and I found it very nice. Hope to play it again soon =)
I’m not sure whether I’m the most lucid or I’m just another one that gave up on the backlog battle.
Oh, Heroes of Hammerwatch is not only a really nice game, but also a grind fest.
Not sure if I’ll be able to beat it.
From the lego games, Star wars, batman and indiana jones were my favourites, but i never tried the marvel or harry potter ones.
I got Heroes of hammerwatch on the chrono.gg coin store. I don’t think i’ll ever 100% it but the first hammerwatch was really fun to mess around with for a while so i’m hoping the same out of this one.
If you enjoyed Hammerwatch you’ll enjoy Heroes of Hammerwatch =)
