Final verdict:
I consider it to be a good year backlog-wise. Even if the net backlog counter is still positive (+6) and I played fewer games compared to 2024 (39 vs. 44) and for less time total (871 hours vs. 973), the % of unplayed games went down (-2%), mostly thanks to the fact that I managed to add only 45 games to my library this year (vs. 87 in 2024).
The actual big change, though, is that, last November, after 8 uninterrupted years, I finally decided to cancel my Humble Bundle/Choice annual subscription. Consider that I checked and I saw that at the moment more than half of my unplayed games (241 out of 447) come from HB subscriptions.
So yeah, let’s say I managed to keep my backlog HP bar from growing out of control and that I hopefully put down a solid base to actually start chipping at it next year.

Review

As I expected and anticipated in my early access review back in March they addressed the only issue I had with the game at the time by creating a proper ending for the game that gave meaning and purpose to the gameplay loop. Plus they added a few more features that made the whole experience feel even more complete.

I’m really really happy with the game.
