Hi there,
what to tell about me? Hmm, well let’s see. Most of my game buys are impulse buys…Well don’t judge me. Other women buy shoes or make-up, I buy video games XD
I will try to beat as many games as I can each month (right now I am at at least 1 each week), but unfortunately I’m a grown up with a job, so my progress usually depends on how much spare time I have.
Since I’m a member of Playing Appreciated all wins of that group have priority (since they need to be played within a month of winning).
What I want to achieve in 2025
- get my SG win played percentage up to 60% (still working on that one) at 57,72% atm
- let’s try sth different this time around. How about get all those super old games (aka 20 years and older) done
- wrangle my backlog into submission and make him stop screaming 😱
Update 141: January 2025
January is already over O_o New years resolution is to play as many old games (released in or before 2014) as I can. We’ll see how I will fare with that goal. Oldest I did in January was from 2013, LEGO® MARVEL Super Heroes and one from 2014, Rollers of the Realm.
Really liked the game. Though be warned it is a game about dealing with the loss of a loved one, so be prepared to deal with that.
Beautiful game, loved the anime style. Controls could be a bit better.
Finally finished this game, that I started years ago with my nephew. It's a good lego game, if you like Marvel and Lego give it a go.
A really nice HOG, was fun playing it
Interesting idea for a game. Sometimes it could have been better explained what they expected you to do.
A cute yuri VN, enjoyed it a lot.
Some of the puzzles were very easy, others extremely hard. Not sure I would recommend it.

Kickstarter Release:
Update 140: 2024 is over welcome 2025
In the last year I've completed 49 games and beaten 39 games. That's a total of 88 retired games, quiet a few less than last year. Also completed 19 DLC's for various games.
For SG wins I went from 42,28% of unfinished or never touched wins to 43,83% (a rise of 1,55%, was hoping for a drop -_- ). And for the overall backlog from 59.06% of unfinished or never touched games to 57,51% (a 1.55% drop, I'll take that). It is progress, I guess.
Current Progress January 2025
Overall Backlog Progress: +0,4% change to last times unfinished/never played games (57,51% unfinished games)
Overall SG Wins Progress:+0,2% change to last times unfinished/never played games (43,83% unfinished games)

Overall Backlog Progress:+0,3% change to last times unfinished/never played games (59,06% unfinished games)

Update 139: December 2024
How is the year already over? Also my backlog is screaming because I have too many crazy friends. I totally sucked on the not activating more than I played front. Guess I need to find a different goal for the new year. But more to that later.
Love the game, need to get back for more play throughs
Landed on my won't play list. No matter what I did they would not start or crash immediately. So guess no dice. After trying to fix it for 30 minutes I gave up.
Sadly same for this one. Landed on my won't play list. No matter what I did they would not start or crash immediately. So guess no dice. After trying to fix it for 30 minutes I gave up.
Loved this game a lot, though be aware going in that it is very sad.
Completed the game together with mousewithbeer, what a fun game. Though some of the achievements were a pain in the ass to get.
Nice puzzle game some of the achivements are badly broken
Honestly I don't get the hate for this game. Is it as great as the first game or True Colors, not really.
But it has it's own charm. Has Max changed, sure she has. She's a professor and artist in residence. Would be bad if she hadn't. Also love Moses and Amanda. Not so sure about the rest.
It's an okay game, but I won't ever be a big fan of it since there is too much RNG involved. You can do perfectly fine in the game and then you draw a few shitty cards and your whole game goes to shit.

Update 138: November 2024
I am late, oh sooo late. I’m too busy for my own good.
Not the biggest fan of this game. For one even on easy it was super hard, mostly because of the ever changing camera persective and the fact that the evade mechanic does not really work properly and secondly the camera perspective is so bad, especially in the parts where you need to do precision platforming you sometimes do not even see where you need to go, so you miss the platforms and shit. Not a fun experience.
Liked this better than the first one, but sadly the story ends very abruptly. Also some sections are very long winded. Could have been a lot shorter
I honestly did not get this game at all. There were several times when I had to look up video guides cause it wasn't clear to me where to go.
I enjoyed the game, but some levels were super hard because it required the machines to be put down with milimeter precision or it would not work.
Really enjoy this game, so much so that mousewithbeer whom I am playing with has gifted me the season pass and we are working through the DLC's now.

Update 137: October 2024
I don’t know what to say, world’s gone crazy 🤷🏻 at least I’ve beaten more games than I won.
Liked the game, just took me a while to understand how to play it. also controlling the raft was a bit iffy.
It's a good game, but not their best work. Overall enjoyed it. Endings weren't really that different though. And it gets tedious to see nearly the same cutscenes over and over again.
Actually quiet enjoyed this one, though wasn't a big fan of some of the QTE's. Will be probably doing a coop playthrough for some more achievements.
Really enjoyed this one once I understood how the time repeat mechanics really worked. Was a fun little gem.
Loved this one. Just so fun to run around and eating 🧠
Nice little pixcross game.

Update 136: September 2024
Lady Luck was on my side and my backlog is in tears again. I have a feeling I will misaerable fail my 2024 goals.
I liked the game overall, but I had a lot of problems with the AI. At two places it would not do the required actions so I could not proceed. Had to switch game into coop mode and play one char on kb+m and the other with controller at the same time. That wasn't fun at all.
This was a fun game. Sometimes it got a bit confusing on where to go, especially in the forrest part.
Really liked the game and will get back to it. Still have some post game win content to clear up and DLC content to play. Had some game crashes when tabbing out of the game that were a bit annoying. Also wasn't the biggest fan of the fast travelling system.

Decent racing game for kids

Game was okay when it wouldn't randomly crash
Another decent HOG

Update 134: July 2024
I made it back to Germany again. Had a great time meeting all my friends in Denver. So many great memories made, but also really sad to had to go again. Miss them all dearly. Here is a picture of me, my friend Sashi and her dog Perry on my last day in Denver.
It was also my birthday. I’m officially old now -_-
Did not buy anything this summersale and still aquired more than enough games thanks to my bday. My backlog is in tears. Let’s hope August will be a good month for playing games.
Overall a good game, but it gets tedious quickly. At a certain time the contracts repeat over and over again. Would have been a great game if it were at least 1/3 shorter.
Cute, chill story about a high powered city woman, that goes on vacation in her hometown, swapping in for her dad, who is a mailman. She is spending her vacation delivering the mail in her hometown and (re)aquainting herself with old and new friends.
Only point of contention for me is the sometimes long streches you have to walk at a snails pace and maybe the AI driving the other smalltown cars.
Enjoyed this game a lot. You are playing as an unwilling fighter pilot in a war. Each sortie has a preset of enemies in the air, on land and sea that you have to destroy or seriously hamper. Though if you are playing the game I would suggest using a controller, found the controls with kb+m horrible.
The game played a lot smoother than the first one, though I still do not really get the story line. As a FPS it's nice enough I guess.
It's a HOG, one of the better ones.
Liked this HOG the best of the trilogy.
Better than the first, not as good as the thrid.
Could be an interesting game, I found it personally too difficult in some levels, but then I am not a native speaker. You get a bunch of letters and have to find somewhere between 1-5 different specific words and all you have is a theme like Sports and it can be anything in that theme.
Another day, another HOG. Still one of the better ones.

Update 132: May 2024
Apparently I am a bit crazy and have decided that 3 weeks is enough time to prepare traveling to the US to visit a friend, while I am also working full time 😱
Nice little puzzle game, enjoyed it just as much as the first one
I enjoyed it, getting all cheevos was a bit annoying though. Too much repeating.
A simple game mostly geared towards children, some of the achievements are a bit tricky to get.
Loved all the little puzzles, some where rather tricky. Also loved how they were introduced and gradually became harder. Just once ran into a bug where near the end one of the robots was "dead" and would not do it's part. Had to redo a whole section of the game.
Liked the game. Some of the dialoge could have been a lot shorter though. Not a fan of having to press buttons for 20 min just to advance through some talking and there is no way to skip it. Also some grinding might be required to get some of the bosses. I found I had to go back to earlier dungeons to collect enough food, to be able to fight the bosses, which was a bit annoying. You can't buy food
