2025 - March

A lot of things happened these past couple of months so I have an even later update than last time now that I’m back.

Half-Life 2

Curse Crackers: For Whom the Belle Toils

I won this game in the crazy march madness event, so I've tried playing through it, but its not very good, and I seem to be stuck with regards to progression. I think I got like 70% of the way through? I'll try to google some to see if I can get unstuck… Maybe…

Assassinated

I finally played through this! It was very funny, but I think it ended a little bit too abruptly. I think I'll try play through it once more as a different coppotype! Very referencable game.

Anno 1800

14.6 hours
11 of 112 achievements

I wasn't sure if I would like Anno, I don't know anyone who plays it but I'm aware it has a large fanbase. I don't really like city builders like cities skylines (though I have hundreds of hours in a couple of sim city games when I was young). I like Civilization, but am quite bad at age of empires, I really dislike Europa Universalis.

But I decided to brave it when it was on such a super sale, buying just the base game. And I am happy I did. The way you have to build your cities around optimizing production lines makes the game feel like a mix of a factory builder and civilzation, then the boats makes trading and shipping between your own islands very intesresting, and the system lets you drill down into as much detail as you need.

Maybe the game with DLC is better, or maybe it will make it too complicated for my tastes, but the general game is something I'd really recommend if you are kind of on the fence about the genre like I am, but enjoy factory builders.

Years and years ago I tried playing this but never got it, so now I gave it another shot, it's super clunky. I think I still want to play some kind of transport tycoon game, but maybe something more macro or with better UX

2025 - February

I won a game on SteamGifts!

So I immediately went to work on it, it was pretty good. I like walking simulators, though this one was maybe less thinking and more sightseeing.

I also managed to play though all of sniper elite 3!

I’m not sure I liked it, it’s quite different from what I wanted/imagined it to be.

I then played a bunch of

Half-Life 2

Hardspace: Shipbreaker

It’s quite cute, maybe a little too much faffing about with tool durability and such, but it’s pretty fun! You can feel yourself get better at the complicated but still somehow menial task.

I tried out Necesse during the free weekend, might pick that up when it comes out

Other than that there are some games I doubt I’ll ever stop playing taking time

I also didn’t mention it last update, but I’ve been adding all keys I had lying around on humble in the past couple of months, adding over 300 games to my backlog (shocking myself), I then cancelled my humble choice subscription to say the least..

Generally a very active month!

I was travelling for most of january, so I didnt get to play any hollow knight. Instead I felt like finally playing through a game I liked a lot when I was a teenager. And which’s music I still listen to from time to time. Didn’t manage to finish it this time either, but surely in february I’ll conquer it!

Now that I’m back with my real computer and controller I’ll finish up va-11 hall-a and continue my quests in Hollow Knight!

This month is exam season, he said. I’ll probably play mostly short games that fit in a study break he said.

Hollow Knight

Instead I played 34 hours of Hollow Knight… It’s very good…

Didn’t beat anything else, so no assassinations for me. Luckily my backlog hasn’t grown any either (I must be in the bottom 80 active users for luck on steamgifts at this point 😅)

In January I hope to maybe finish Hollow Knight? I feel like I’m somewhat close..

Wow, a month went by quite fast.. Thanks for the warm welcome last time!

Last month I said I wanted to make some progress on satisfactory, and finish subnautica.

And I did manage to make progress on satisfactory! I’ve unlocked oil and trains now! But I did not play any subnautica.

Instead I played:

Half-Life 2

HoloCure - Save the Fans!

71 of 97 achievements

Apparently there was a lot of new content in a patch I missed! so I played it a bunch, and went on some achievement hunting.

I also played

Half-Life 2

Beginner's Guide

0 hours
no achievements

but I played it at a friend’s house, so I can’t seem to add it to my completed list here…

I quite liked it though! Engaged the critic part of my brain nicely :)

This month is exam season, so I’ll probably play mostly games like this (that are short and fit in a study break..)

First post on backlog-assasins! Thank you for adding me :) I’m not sure how you’re making all these pretty graphics in your posts, but here goes anyways :)

In October (before I was added) I started by playing Satisfactory again now that 1.0 is out, and also some Balatro!

Balatro was really good, so it sure sucked up a bunch of hours. To take a break I started up Dave The Diver, which was very different from what I thought it would be!
I’m still not entirely sure what I think of it. But imagine my surprise when a couple of days into playing it I was suddenly playing Balatro INSIDE Dave the Diver. Pretty crazy coincidence!

I ended up finishing Dave the Diver, at least the main story, but maybe I’ll do some more of the sidequests.

For November I’m hoping to make progress on Satisfactory, and maybe finally finishing Subnautica (I think I’m nearly done with it)

Cheers!
