Steam released their personalized recap, and I knew mine would have some interesting results. Let’s take a look at said results now.
The Basics
I was actually surprised by some of the information, specifically the fact I have played 30 games in the year. I thought it would be less when it comes specifically to Steam, and maybe 30 total across all systems I have. The number of unlocked achievements was also surprising, but with mostly new games it is actually more reasonable.
How You Compare
Another thing I found interesting was the comparison with other Steam users. I was expecting to be below most averages, but I was wrong! My numbers is largely because of playing many new games to write about.
You Are What You Play
First things first, I laughed at seeing Cats on here. It isn’t wrong in the least bit, but when looking at game genres or tags I wasn’t expecting Cats to be included. As for the other five points, I don’t find any of those surprising and they all fit my preferred types of games.
A Closer Look
These five games seem to be my most replayed during the year, which mostly makes sense. Let’s look further.
I definitely played a lot of Disney Dreamlight Valley right after release, so this being my most played game isn’t surprising at all. I am surprised the daily streak isn’t longer since it felt like I played daily for like two weeks.
I had a strong urge to play Armello and finish the mastery track for my main River, and I did finally achieve it after numerous games. I don’t normally grind a game like that, but I really wanted the last reward in the track.
I honestly don’t remember every playing this game this year, but clearly I did back in February. I do enjoy the Roller Coaster Tycoon games and will have moments of playing for hours on end, which is probably what happened in the second month of the year.
I don’t remember how I was introduced to Dorfromantik, but it is certainly one of my favorite games I played this year. It is definitely a big part of why relaxing was part of my web of games I played, because it is quite relaxing.
I had a small stint of playing Town of Salem again for the first time in a while, and I think it was driven by watching some YouTubers play it again after a long time as well. It was definitely a short lived stint, but it’s nice to return to a familiar game sometimes.
Playtime
August and September were definitely busy with playing games for reviews as well as my own interests. I definitely have phases where I game more at certain times. Of course this is only for Steam, and I know I had some moments of playing on my Switch more than Steam.
All The Games I Played (on Steam)
Quite the collection, right? Many of these games I have written about, while some might get posts in the new year. A few are from when I judged for Indie Cup Canada, and others just for my own enjoyment.
And that is my Steam Replay for 2022! I always enjoy these kinds of recaps, and I’m looking forward to seeing what next year brings!
Did you check out your Steam Replay? What interesting facts did you learn?
Oh hey, I got “cats” as one of my top genres, too! 😂
With my Steam replay I saw how some games I thought I played last year I actually played this year like Hellblade I remember really enjoying but don’t remember when I started it.
