July 2021
Since almost all of my new games from this year is done, I should really go back and play the remaining games from last year. Right now I actually don't have many games I want to play in my Steam library, but I'll still try to give a chance to those I'm not that interested in. I think July was a fine month of gaming for me as I had a lot of fun. Sadly my backlog clearing got a bit slow after I re-discovered Solitaire. I've been playing Microsoft Solitaire a lot, but it doesn't show how many hours I've spent on it so it'll forever be a mystery lol.
New Games 2021:I wanted to get 100% in Chicory: A Colorful Tale but since I bought and played it very close to its release, one or two collection achievements eluded me. There are no guides yet, so I'm not sure what I am missing. Oh well.
At first I thought I can play and perhaps beat The Long Dark this month, but as I played and got into the game, I learned that I can only partially beat it since the story mode isn't completed yet. 3 out of 5 episodes are out, and the 4th one is still being developed. The survival mode is extremely difficult for a beginner like me, so I couldn't make progress there either. I might play and complete the existing 3 episodes in August, but I'm not sure yet.

Pretty cool overall progress. Seems like you really have a number on your backlog.
I played The Long Dark for a short time and ran into almost exactly the same dilemma as you…I decided to retire the game for the time being. Once all episodes are released (if ever), I’ll give it another go.
Never heard of Chicory before, it definitely has a unique art style :)
Thank you. I didn’t have too many games to begin with, so it was easier compared to most. (I also don’t have subscriptions such as Humble Bundle.)
I think I’ll also put The Long Dark back on the shelf, because I don’t want to play an incomplete game. I’m sure I’d enjoy the 3 episodes they have out, but it’s better to play the entire thing in one-go imo.
I agree, I’m pretty sure I would have to replay the previous episodes anyway once a new one releases because I’ve forgotten what happened :)
Even a relatively small library (I don’t have that many games compared to most of BLAEO either) takes quite a lot of time to finish, so it’s still a great accomplishment!
Same with me. I have a terrible memory! :P
I will strive to get to the point where I can only go back and replay favorites. Congrats on all of your assassinations!
Thank you!
I still have a few games I can play, and the lack of option is weird haha.
Your backlog looks so good, congrats!
How is Raji ? I have installed it from the gamepass but haven’t tried yet, but it looks interesting!
Thank you! I haven’t had a chance to play it much, but so far I’m enjoying it. The game itself isn’t very difficult, the environments are really pretty and it’s really nice to learn these stories from Hinduism. Some mechanics are a bit annoying, but eh.
Looking at your profile - yeah not many games left you haven’t tried! And ones you can play…
Just need to get different versions of solitaire on steam now to log those hours! :D
I did think of getting a Solitaire game on Steam but then changed my mind, since Microsoft Solitaire is free and I really don’t need the validation from logging those hours on Steam haha. It was tempting for a bit though, can’t lie.
Yeah I’m weirdly low on games–at least ones I want to and can play. I wish I could play Horizon ZD but there is no way I can play it anytime soon. :P
