Once more into the breach.
2019 was a slow year for me with games. I bought fewer and have played the fewest games since 2015. My backlog is no longer as full of games that I purchased and never played. Now it's full of games that I have received for free. I will continue to try to finish those games I have spent money on this year.
I also feel that I reached my limit with my games library. I have less hype about upcoming games and would rather go back and replay some favorites like The Witcher 3, Total Warhammer 2, and Vermintide 2.
Quality, not quantity might be the strategy from here on out so we'll see how it goes in 2020.

I'm back on my bullshit.
Started Nov 10 - Finished Jan 31 This was my first Dragon Quest game and man, it did not disappoint. Great music, story, setting, characters. This game has it all if you're a fan of jrpgs. My only criticism about this game is that it was too easy. I didn't even get the ultimate gear and the final boss gave me no trouble.
Started Jan 3 - Finished Jan 6 Hey, remember Ace Combat? Well, it's back. In HD.
Started Feb 1 - Finished Feb 6 I blame Vinny for this. I just finished Dragon Quest 11 and was looking for the next game to play when Vinny comes out with his "Hey watch me play XCOM 2 for an hour" video. Well, that made me start looking at the workshop and downloading mods. When I realized I could make freaking Street Samurais I fell back into this game pretty hard. Hey, this is a good ass video game and I might every well just replay it next year too.
Started Feb 9 - Can't finish. This is a great game and I'm happy I decided to get back into it.
Started Feb 14 - Can't finish I may not be starting that many new games in 2020, but I am having a fun time playing my favorites and Total Warhammer 2 is up there as one of my favorite games of all time. Total War: Warhammer 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. WH2 is the second game in a planned trilogy that is only getting bigger with each game. The final game in the series will include all races from the first 2 (as long as you own the first 2 games and DLC) along with whatever they add in 3. This game/series is as close to a forever/desert island game for me as it can be. More than Warframe or Civilization, Warhammer 2 is constantly bringing me back and has had a spot on my hard drive since launch. CA is constantly releasing new content in the form of Paid DLCs and Free DLCs along with race reworks. I still play WH2 on nearly a weekly basis and am super excited to see what WH3 will be. What CA has built in this series, with all the DLC, is extraordinary. They took the extremely popular Warhammer Fantasy franchise and did what other companies have tried but failed at before. They made a solid and tactical wargame in the Warhammer universe that is simply addicting and fun to play. The downside of course is the price. To get the full experience, you need to own Total War: Warhammer 1 and ALL the DLCs AND Warhammer 2 and ALL the DLCs. Just to come in now is very expensive. But I would recommend that you get the games on one of their regular sales. If you are unfamiliar with the lore but are interested in getting the game, then the standalone Warhammer 2 is a great place to start. You don't really need the DLCs to have a good time with the game.
Started Feb 18 - Can't finish. A surprisingly easy game to get into. I don't plan on spending 200 hours getting good at this game and instead just plan on messing around with some of the best fighting game characters ever made.
Started March 10 - Can't finish What can i say? It's F1 and it is better than last year.
Started March 20 - Finished March 20 After putting in a solid 3 hours of this game a good 2 years after I last played it has left me with this conclusion. It is a fantastic game and maybe one of the best of all time. However, I do not feel like investing that kind of time into the game again, even with NG+. Sorry, I tried.
Started March 25 - Finished March 28 It's an open world snowboarding game that feels weirdly floaty with a huge but empty open world. I played it for a bit and it never grabbed me. It's a shame because I typically like games like this. Good thing I got it for free.
