There’s no shame in not finishing something if you got enough out of it. Maybe a little bit of guilt because you paid for it, but you can always go back and finish it later.
Maybe it’s a good idea to stop adding to the backlog knowing that you’re not as likely to finish new ones. At least until the backlog is clear. Maybe you find more comfort games in the backlog and have even less time for new ones.
Just finished Castle on the Coast and was pleasantly surprised. It starts off feeling a little janky, but after the first 30-60 minutes realize it’s intentional and you are a silly giraffe parkour GOD. Some later levels get into abstract platforming and refreshingly different mechanics than I’ve experienced before. Worth checking out if you’re a 3D platformer-head.
Currently playing through Spyro Reignited Trilogy. Never played any of them before, but always wanted to. Just finished the first one and it was quite fun, although I did not like the final boss. There should have been a checkpoint after the first phase (2 keys phase). Looking forward to finding out how they developed the mechanics from there in 2 and 3.
3D platformer with some interesting mechanics and boss fights. Enjoying it so far. There are some mild collectathon elements, but nothing tedious. I like the art style a lot.
Into the Unwell playtest. It caught my attention at Summer Game Fest and I was lucky enough to get the invite. I am loving it so far and can’t wait for it to release. Go wishlist it now!
Also playing a bit of Garfield Kart: Furious Racing. Fun little Kart game and the sequel is in the works.
Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. In case anyone sees this and is wondering, I picked up Assetto Corsa. The price was right and it looks like what I’m looking for, for now.
I also will keep an eye on BallisticNG and a few others.
Shout out to the kind Lemming who donated their spare key for Garfield Kart - Furious Racing to me. I’ll leave them unnamed in case they don’t want the attention. I’ve been playing and enjoying it!
