No NewPlay Reviews
Total NewPlays: 487
It was at this point that circumstances finally forced me to take a break. I just couldn't do it any more.
When I started the project, it was about playing through my unplayed games. I've made a huge dent in the list, but added more, and it's been a pretty great experience.
However, it's become more and more like work, and I already HAVE a job.
When those two things conflict? Well... this happens.
The other thing that's occurred is that it's now taking away from my ability to settle in and enjoy the games I've reviewed.
I tried to settle in and play Horizon Zero Dawn last night. It had been a year since I'd played it.
I couldn't remember how to play it, and I couldn't settle in because in my head was the drumbeat "I have to write those reviews, I have to write those reviews, ihavetowritethosereviews" and I quit after 10 minutes.
I want to be able to have some fun again without feeling that self-imposed burden.
So I have a new plan... the April Humble Choice dropped on the 3rd, and that's going to take me to 495 games.
I'm going to go to 500 games, and then call it a day on this version of the project.
It's been a fun journey, and I've really appreciated the feedback, but I feel like right now I need to put a pin in it, and let it have an ending.
I still might do some reviews (I've got many months of pre-paid Humble Choice bundles to come), but I think I need to finally say goodbye to #ProjectONG in this form.
