Drahkon's Gaming in 2023

[drahkon]

Yay, it's that time of the year.

This will a little less dramatic than last year's thread. It's statistics. THERE'S NOTHING FUN ABOUT STATISTICS!
And don't worry, Timmy is gone and he will never be seen again.

One graph per spoiler tag!

Spoiler

Ups and downs.

Spoiler

My trophy hunting days are officially over. I do like to go after some Platinums, though. It all depends on the game and the trophy list

Favourite Platinum? Spider-Man 2
Worst Platinum experience? Sea of Stars

Spoiler

No surprises there.

Spoiler

Quite surprised to see only one game from PS+ Essential. Not surprised with PS+ Premium. It sucks
PS+ Extra has delivered, though.

Spoiler

Spoiler

Ys VIII is a bad, bad game.

My Game of the Year? 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim.

Now onto comparisons between 2022 and 2023.

Two graphs max per spoiler tag.

Spoiler

29 games less than last year. Spent some more time "outside of" gaming, mostly taking care of my mental health by spending more time with friends and the student association I volunteer in. I'll keep doing that next year, because it helped me immensely. Will be interesting, whether I'll be able to slip in more gaming time again

Spoiler

Unsurprisingly, the number of total Platinums has reduced, as well

Spoiler

PSVita is dead?
PS5 still strong.
Steam Deck has mostly been in the "Slay the Spire only phase"

Spoiler

PS+ Essential seems to have been pretty bad for me this year.

Spoiler

I played way less, but spent a lot more this year...Well, I extended my PS+ Premium sub until 2025, bought a couple of games on release and digitally, and I bought a Steam Deck. That explains it.

 

And that's my gaming year 2023. Quite happy with it overall

Any plans for next year? Financially survive the onslaught of JRPGs...

Spoiler

...tbc next year...
