January provided little in terms of new things to play, with just two additions. I've only completed one of those games, with nearly everything else I've not being things I've already completed or not really having a definitive completion point. Had I not hit a bit of a grind point with Kingdom Hearts right before the end, that would also have been completed. February seems like it'll be a bit of a bigger month for new releases. Let's see what happens.

I'd be keen to hear your thoughts on this game and how you feel it compares to Hitman World of Assassination, Rula; playing both of them together must have been interesting!

FAKE EDIT: Hold it! You've already written the article and it's on your website!

It was an interesting one. I didn't mix the two, with Blood Money being the focus for me across the four-five days since I bought it, but World of Assassination was always in mind during my playthrough. The controls being reworked definitely eased the transition back in time.

And thanks for checking the article out.

I need to return to Stray; I was very much enjoying it. Beyond that, all my game time has been in F76 although I hope to soon add another title or two into the mix.

Might as well use this. My goal is not buy single game at all this year until June/July, because I have so many PC games I got from friends and with christmas money I want to focus on.

BOUGHT (Will only list those with my own cash, rather than cash I got as gift)

Well, quite a boost to the number of games I've bought in February, with the first double dip of the year thanks to Game Pass. Kingdom Hearts was completed, moving me to Re:Chain of Memories on that marathon. Also completed Truck Simulator 2023 - Driver Europe despite very quickly seeing it wasn't exactly a quality release. But oddly, I still had fun with it despite frustrations. This month is likely to be similar in the amount of purchases, depending on what dates are given to a few of the games on my waiting for list. And if there's any can't resists on the sales.

HISTORY

March proved to be another quiet month in terms of things bought, but that meant I could easily revisit a game I'd had sat on my Switch for ages taking up space on the off-chance I did return to it. Red Dead Redemption proved to be worth the return, and I'll also be giving the Undead Nightmare expansion a completion, too. And then I'll see about returning to my Kingdom Hearts marathon while keeping Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life as the only other game I'll be investing major time in. This month so far is yet again seeming like a quiet one, with nothing except Sand Land on the horizon for me in terms of new releases.
