May 2022 Game Update

Well! May is now over, so I guess it’s time to do a month update! This is my first one, so not sure if I’ll do it this way in the future, but for now it’s good I think.

May felt like such a weird month to me (maybe that was because of the COVID though?), but starting to blog and keeping track of things has helped get me back into gaming again. I had a tricky time playing games for quite a while now (thanks COVID?), so I think having a system of sorts has helped to give me the push I needed. So while May’s progress might not have been too grand, I’m happy that I made any sort of progress at all to be honest.

Anyway, on to the update!

Currently Playing

Ys IX: Nostrum Nox (PS4)

Backlog

Number of Games: 1535 games
Time to Beat: 1432 days, 21 hours

Since I only started keeping track of these stats at the start of May, there isn’t a previous month to compare to. Next month update I’ll also include how each stat changed.

Goal Games Beaten: 0/46

No surprise here since I only really made my games to beat list in May… We’ll see if I can make any sort of meaningful dent in the list though lol.

What’s Next?

I’m not really great about planning ahead or making decisions on what game(s) to play next (hence the whole picking a game randomly thing I started doing lol), but I do have a few things planned for June.

For one, I’m definitely going to continue with Ys IX. I really don’t have many chapters left to go, so I’m pretty confident that I’ll be able to finish that this month.

I also really want to make some sort of progress with my game goals list, so I’m probably going to try and do some rolls exclusively off of that list. If I only do rolls off of my entire backlog, it will be very likely that I’ll just never get one of the games on that list lol.

If any of the Xbox Game Pass games are going to be removed soon, then I’ll give priority to any of those that I really want to try. Right now though, there’s nothing leaving soon (or at least that I know of).

The last thing I have plans for is to play Everybody’s Golf (PS4). I specifically have plans for that one because I want the platinum for the game, and the online servers (which are needed for the platinum) are going to be shut down sometime in September. I want to give myself time to play through the game at my own pace without rushing, so it’s best to start that sooner rather than later. I know that if I delay it too long I’ll probably forget until the last minute, and that won’t be any fun lol.

Anyway, that’s all the updates for May! Hoping to some fun times in June!
