2017 summary and Witcher trilogy update

In a previous post I said I would make a 2017 summary, and here it is.

50 games finished, of which 29 were SG games (compared to 84/68 2016)
821 hours spent in finished games (compared to 1268 for 2016)

I didn’t play as much during 2017 as 2016, but real life events made gaming time drop a lot, I even took a break from playing games between February and April. Things are much better now, but still less gaming time than 2016, but that’s just life :)

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I have been playing the Witcher trilogy back to back, and since November, I’ve been playing The Witcher III. It’s such a good game, without a doubt one of the very best games I have ever played, and playing it is such a good way to spend time. And time is needed! So far I’ve spent 115 hours in it, and I’ve just reached the end-game phase of the main game. Then I have both of the expansions to play through, which will add another 30-50 hours or so, I probably won’t be done with this game until next month. While playing it I’m also finding it hard to play other games as I usually do (I usually have 2-4 games I switch between until finishing one of them, and often starting a new game to add to the rotation), when I have some spare time for gaming, I instantly fire up The Witcher III, no need to mix it up with something else :D

No finished games so far in 2018 due to that, which might look bad for the “stats”, but I’m really enjoying finally playing this game, and I will let it take the time it needs to finish it. After I’m done, I have several games I look forward to playing a lot as well. I’ll be back with future updates :)

I’ll end this post with a few screenshots from my Witcher III playthrough - more available here.
