My patient gaming life has changed since I decided to write stuff down as a hobby.
For me I did it as a blog instead of a private log, which I found really helped. Cosplaying as a games journalist, you have to finish the review so you either complete it or you might look up a let’s play or walkthrough to get what you need.
That’s the key for me, some of them I’ve been bouncing off or just thinking about playing since the NES days and because I didn’t finish them they always stay on the list. But I’ve finally mentally put them to bed!
I highly recommend it to anyone with a backlog, especially if you are in the market for a new hobby, 2 birds with 1 stone!
Thank you, bookmarked in case I do go back to it! I loved the Witness, Myst vibes. I love that abandoned world feeling like not even abandoned location, but abandoned world. I believe I did use the odd hint for that game too but most of it was just really satisfying to figure out.
I’ve actually not played any of the Myst games! But I did buy the collection on Humble Bundle recently, so I look forward to giving them a go :)
