Steam year in review 2023 is up, if you want to get disappointed in how much you bought and how little of it you played. 😛

  My chart shows an emphasis on zombies and typing. I don’t know how to interpret that other than we need a new Typing of the Dead.

  Looking at my review weirdly gave me a more positive perspective on how I see my life. It helped me realize I’m kind of blessed with the work-life balance I have that I’m still able to play so many games into adulthood.

  Also it’s neat to see what I played early in the year. Things I could’ve sworn I’d played a couple years ago. A little reminder that time isn’t moving as quickly as it sometimes feels.

  It’s interesting that across the board, games released this year barely account for 9% of what people typically played.

    A lot of people stick with ongoing/live service games as their main mode of play. FFXIV is the majority of my playtime, with Baldur’s Gate 3 really being the only “this year” game I’ve played to a great extent.

    Also plugging the Patient Gamers crowd that I find myself aligning more strongly with over time. Waiting to pick up games when they go on sale is not only easier on the wallet, but it is also a better experience overall with way too many developers these days releasing products on a “ship now, fix later” mindset.

    Remember that a huge number of Steam accounts exclusively play Free to Play games and spend no money at all. 6 of the Top 10 Most Played on Steam right now are F2P games and only one is from this year.

    I’ve got a 25 year backlog of games to play, no need to play any new ones for a while!

    I played 40 different games. 21 of them were released in 2023. 83% of my total playtime was in games released this year. Most of that time was specifically in BG3.

  It’s funny seeing how much of my gaming is the 30 minutes to an hour detoxing after work before going to other tasks. I rarely play a game for hours on end anymore.

  Shout out to Hades and Inscryption (Kaycee’s mod) for being less than an hour to beat a run. Perfect for a detox.

  Ooh, never knew this existed but jeez now I feel old…

  Black Mesa and Age of Empires 2 made up 75% of my gaming this year!

    “The classics never die” was the message it gave me as well.

      Me too. It’s such a nice way of saying “Awww, you’re old”

  Only 8 games played this year, 3 new games bought. Grown up kinda sucks.

  • Why9@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    You’ve had the opportunity to play almost half of all the games you’ve bought this year, with Christmas round the corner to add to that tally.

    That’s a pretty good record, all things considered!

  I’ll be the guy who enjoyed this.

  Beautiful hourglass pattern as I changed over from one time sink to another. Kinda neat.

  I did a pretty good job at keeping myself from buying games this year, but I also barely played 😔

  source
• Sigh_Bafanada@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I played 68 games. Steam median is 8.

• xarexyouxmadx@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  56% of my gaming was just one game: Streets of rogue.

  But you’re right there’s plenty of games I bought that I didn’t play very much. I hate it when I realize I don’t actually want a game but it’s outside of the window to return it for a refund 🙃

  Pretty happy with my results here. More played than purchased, and lots of time with the ones I did.

  I mostly played free to play games and only got games that reviewed well. I learned my lesson during the pandemic releases. I can’t get into old games.
