I seem to play a lot in January, then less in February. This has been the pattern for the last 4 years. I hope that I will have more time to play in 2020 than 2019. I doubt it, but one can always hope!
August was a productive month gaming-wise, which isn’t usual for me. September though, was slow.

2019 was a bit of a slower year for me. I had gotten a new job that required more attention than the one I had earlier years. That is very apparent in number of games beaten compared to the years prior.

2017 was a great year. The year that I really came back to gaming, mostly because of the Switch. I bought a Nintendo Switch on release date and played pretty much all bigger games that came out 2017. In addition my girlfriend bought a Playstation 4 Slim so I could get acquainted with many of the Playstation 4 exclusives.
Prior to 2017
I did play games occasionally, but I did a lot more speedrunning, which didn’t leave me much time to play newer games.
So due to that and the fact that I studied so I sadly didn’t have time for casual gaming I probabaly beat two to three games per year at that time.
Apparently I played and beat more games than I first thought the years before my big gaming renaissance. I had to go through old orders and achievements on different platforms to compile the lists from these years.

The end of my 3DS period. I played Yo-kai Watch because I couldn’t wait longer for Pokémon Sun/Moon. I ended up liking Yo-kai Watch more than Sun after playing them both.
