Steam year in review 2023 is up, if you want to get disappointed in how much you bought and how little of it you played. 😛
Personally, apparently 71% of my gaming time was spent on FFXIV. Although in my defense, most games I've played this year were on GOG or old free stuff from Epic I finally got around to.

My chart shows an emphasis on zombies and typing. I don't know how to interpret that other than we need a new Typing of the Dead.
Looking at my review weirdly gave me a more positive perspective on how I see my life. It helped me realize I'm kind of blessed with the work-life balance I have that I'm still able to play so many games into adulthood.
Also it's neat to see what I played early in the year. Things I could've sworn I'd played a couple years ago. A little reminder that time isn't moving as quickly as it sometimes feels.
It's interesting that across the board, games released this year barely account for 9% of what people typically played.
Remember that a huge number of Steam accounts exclusively play Free to Play games and spend no money at all. 6 of the Top 10 Most Played on Steam right now are F2P games and only one is from this year.
I'm in that 9%. I played 40 different games. 21 of them were released in 2023. 83% of my total playtime was in games released this year. Most of that time was specifically in BG3.
I've got a 25 year backlog of games to play, no need to play any new ones for a while!
It’s funny seeing how much of my gaming is the 30 minutes to an hour detoxing after work before going to other tasks. I rarely play a game for hours on end anymore.
Shout out to Hades and Inscryption (Kaycee’s mod) for being less than an hour to beat a run. Perfect for a detox.
Ooh, never knew this existed but jeez now I feel old....
Black Mesa and Age of Empires 2 made up 75% of my gaming this year!
"The classics never die" was the message it gave me as well.
Me too. It's such a nice way of saying "Awww, you're old"
Only 8 games played this year, 3 new games bought. Grown up kinda sucks.
You've had the opportunity to play almost half of all the games you've bought this year, with Christmas round the corner to add to that tally.
That's a pretty good record, all things considered!
I did a pretty good job at keeping myself from buying games this year, but I also barely played 😔
It's nice i can see where my Pc broke and where i got my steamdeck also say i played 42 new game this year but i remember only 4 so i might want to get my memory check
I'll be the guy who enjoyed this.
Beautiful hourglass pattern as I changed over from one time sink to another. Kinda neat.
Yep, 77% spent on FFXIV. Fun times
56% of my gaming was just one game: Streets of rogue.
But you're right there's plenty of games I bought that I didn't play very much. I hate it when I realize I don't actually want a game but it's outside of the window to return it for a refund 🙃
I played 68 games. Steam median is 8.
I mostly played free to play games and only got games that reviewed well. I learned my lesson during the pandemic releases. I can't get into old games.
Pretty happy with my results here. More played than purchased, and lots of time with the ones I did.
