This was a good week as I picked up several titles, but none of them are counting against the backlog due to the fact that they're ports/remasters of ones I've played before but were either on sale or happened to release this week (for the most part), but I also reached a big gaming milestone.

New Titles:
- Worms Armageddon: Anniversary Edition (PS4&PS5)*
- Raging Loop (PS5)*
- A Little to the Left + DLC (PS4&PS5)*
- Oceanhorn - Monster of Uncharted Seas (Vita)*
- Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana (PS5)*
- Donkey Kong Country Returns HD (Switch)*
- Tales of Graces f Remastered (PS5)*
- Triggerheart Exelica (Switch)*

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Amairo Chocolate 2 (Steam)
- 100%'d Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - Expansion Pass Vol. 3 (Switch)
- Beat and 100%'d Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana
- Beat and 100%'d Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - Future Redeemed

So, in terms of milestones, Ys Memoirte: The Oath in Felghana is my 500th Completed Game as listed on PSNProfiles while Future Redeemed is noted as my 3,000th Complete on Backloggery. Hitting both of those in the same week felt pretty good.

I'll likely see one new release that I pre-ordered a while back this week, but otherwise I'm saving the next batch of wish list titles on sale until I get paid again.

For now, other than a couple of titles I can play casually, I may slow down on gaming for a bit so I can get back to some recording and writing.

Had a fairly relaxed gaming week this week as I did not purchase anything new and chilled with a couple of casual titles while making actual progress on recording too.

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Oceanhorn - Monster of the Uncharted Seas (Vita)
- Beat SINce Memories: Off the Starry Sky (PS4)

I've completed 2 of the 5 heroine routes on SINce Memories, so I'll be focusing on 100%ing that this week while aiming to do some more recording. Currently undecided on an "on-the-go" title, but likely something quick on Switch.

Expecting 2-3 physical arrivals this week plus I'll be grabbing some wish list titles that are still on sale once I get paid. Negative progress for the first time in a while is quite possible.

Heavy week this week courtesy of expected new releases and wish list sale titles, so at the very least I broke even when factoring titles not counting against the backlog right now.

New Titles:
- Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero (PS5)
- Disney Epic Mickey Rebrushed (PS5)
- Costume Quest 2 (PS4)*
- Metal Slug Tactics (PS4&PS5)*
- Apex Heroines (PS5)*
- Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection (PS4&PS5)*
- Master of Bow (Switch)*
- Crystal Breaker (Switch)*
- Constellations: Discover the Universe (Switch)*
- Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos (PS5)
- Dynasty Warriors: Origins (PS5)

Progress:
- 100%'d Master of Bow
- 100%'d Constellations: Discover the Universe
- Beat and 100%'d Crystal Breakers
- 100%'d SINce Memories: Off the Starry Sky (PS4)

Not expecting any new releases this week, but may still grab a wish list sale title or two that ends before pay day. In the meantime, I'll probably work on some shorter titles to fill in the gaps between all of the recording I've been doing for my Let's Plays over the past couple of weekends, so maybe some arcade-style titles or Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos.

Pure positive progress this week as I didn't obtain any new games and cleared out a couple on the planned backlog as well as a couple of quickies.

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Neptunia Riders vs Dogoos (PS5)
- Beat and 100%'d Night Slashers: Remake (Switch)
- Beat and 100%'d Funky Fantasy IV (SNES)
- 100%'d Mystic Pillars: A Story-Based Puzzle Game (Switch)

Hoping to grab a few wish list titles still on sale when I get paid on Wednesday, otherwise I'm not expecting any new releases this week.

As for what to play next, choice paralysis is real right as I have three separate projects that I'm in-between on and don't know what to focus on at the moment. Though I still have the final Phase of Ar nosurge Plus to record for that Let's Play so it will likely be my focus whenever time permits. Depends on work.

Well, I hope everything fits into one post as I went ham on wish list sale titles as well as picking up some new releases. Funny thing is, I was expecting one more, but shipment got delayed so I should see that today.

New Titles:
- Shujinkou (PS5)
- Mystic Pillars - Remastered (PS5)*
- Night Slashers: Remake (PS4&PS5)*
- Dragon Takers (PS4&PS5)*
- Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore (PS5)*
- Symphonia (PS4&PS5)*
- Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind (PS4&PS5)*
- Snow Bros. Wonderland (PS4&PS5)*
- Thinking of You Beyond Time (PS5)*
- Fading Star Melody (PS5)*
- Raiden NOVA (PS5)*
- The Hokkaido Serial Murder Case: The Okhotsk Disappearance ~Memories in Ice, Tearful Figurine~ (Switch)*
- Irem Collection Volume 2 (Switch)*
- Fantasy Sword (Switch)*
- Primal Hearts (Steam)
- Primal Hearts 2 (Steam)

Progress:
- 100%'d Thinking of You Beyond Time
- 100%'d Fading Star Melody
- Beat and 100%'d Mystic Pillars - Remastered
- Beat and 100%'d Astro Bot (PS5)
- Beat and 100%'d Astro Bot - Winter Wonder
- Beat and 100%'d Astro Bot - Stellar Speedway
- 100%'d Swapshot (PS5)
- Beat and 100%'d Re:Touring (PS5)
- Beat and 100%'d Marfusha (PS5)
- Beat and 100%'d My Big Sister: Remastered (PS5)

This week will probably be quieter as I'm only expecting Trails Through Daybreak II and have nothing else on the radar. I'm undecided on knocking out some more short titles or starting another big one on console, but I'm also itching for more Final Fantasy so I'll likely jump into one of the Pixel Remasters I haven't beaten yet on the Switch version.

Positive progress this week with one new arrival and knocking out a few titles for fun.

New Titles:
- The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II (Switch)

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Final Fantasy II Pixel Remaster (Switch)
- Beat and 100%'d Breakers Collection (PS5)
- 100%'d Neko Journey (PS5)

Started up a chill playthrough of Maid of the Dead on Switch and will likely beat that this week depending on how much I focus on it. I'm also trying to get into the habit of aiming to complete the Platinum trophies for games I never finished up in that regard, starting with Touhou Sky Arena: Matsuri Climax. Just have to get the 20 wins in Survival Mode trophy for that.

I'll likely pick up some wish list titles on sale this week once I get paid, but, as usual, I'll likely add them to the collection rather than the backlog.

Another paycheck leading mostly to an influx of wish list sale purchases that mostly affect the collection rather than the backlog, so I'll say I made positive progress this week.

New Titles:
- Piczle Cross: Rune Factory (Switch)*
- Elrentaros Wanderings + Stray Fairy Trap! (Switch)*
- Shinjuku Soumei (Switch)*
- Carpathian Night Starring Bela Lugosi (Switch)*
- Riviera: The Promised Land (Switch)*
- Touhou Danmaku Kagura Phantasia Lost (Switch)*
- PICROSS Records of The Shield Hero (Switch)*
- Warriors: Abyss (PS4&PS5)
- Dead Dragons (PS4&PS5)*
- Harukuru. - Spring Has Come True? - (Steam)

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Maid of the Dead (Switch)
- Platinum'd Touhou Sky Arena: Matsuri Climax (PS4)
- Beat and 100%'d Sakura Succubus 7 (PS4)

Probably the first time I've marked a Platinum trophy as a separate entry since I'd already considered the game Complete. But I'll probably start going back to games I've finished but never Platinum'd over the next while to finally knock those out.

In terms of plans, I started Carpathian Night Starring Bela Lugosi for "on the go" and should at least beat it this week while King of Fighters XV will most likely be my next big game to focus on for the next couple of weeks as I shouldn't start a long JRPG until I finish recording Ar nosurge Plus for my channel and that will take another 2-3 recording sessions.

Looking at 3-4 new physical releases over the course of this month so I'll hopefully slow down on wish list purchases a bit. As usual, those will depend on sales more than anything else.
