Okay, so first things first, yes, they really are magical. (Try try try to understand... )
Now, I'm going to say up-front, social gaming will still trump this stuff. I'm not gonna nix my only real regular social activity for the sake of this competition. I'm also going to have days where fuck you I need to actually de-stress, so playing something else. If these things DQ me (lol Dairy Queen), well, I guess I'll just be DQ'd (or actually do shit besides gaming, which isn't a bad idea...). Won't stop me from participating, cause I wanna do this. Of course, this is going to take years, but I'm (kinda/almost/maybe/nopenotreally/I'llprobablygiveupeventually) okay with that.
So, I'm just gonna toss my whole list on here (mostly cause lazy, also cause at work). TBH, I don't actually remember what all I've beaten, so I guess I'll just say as I come to it. Also, some of these I've owned in other formats and just picked up on Steam for convenience, so 0 hours doesn't necessarily mean not-played. I'll be honest, but I'm also pretty sure that by five years from now nobody's going to even give a fuck anymore.
Anyway, here's the list. If you have a slow computer, I'm sorry about crashing you.

Apparently there's a character limit for posts. Huh.

Okay, so 1000 Amps? It's shit. The concept is solid, and the music is nice, but the execution is something I'd expect from a free indie game fifteen years ago. /Maybe/ from a 2007 Flash game. If nothing else, I find it inexcusable for a game to allow me to become irreconcilably stuck. If it were possible, I'd return it. As it stands, I'm going to uninstall and move on.
Next on the list, A Valley Without Wind (if we consider the whitespace in our alphabetizing). I've played over two hours, but the only thing I remember is that it /almost/ works with a controller; sadly you still have to use the mouse and keyboard fairly frequently. I'll probably start over considering I just jumped in and had no idea what was going on.
--edit--
Just to be clear, I know I'm technically skipping a game here. Considering the length of the list, and the fact that I'd probably sell the game to a pawn shop for a nickel if I had it in physical form, I feel fully justified. As far as I'm concerned, the only reason it's still in my library is because there's no benefit to removing it.
When that happened to me, I considered myself having bailed on the challenge.
That's cool. I have different expectations and goals in this. If I come across a game that I would rather delete than play, particularly when due to massive design flaws, it is not worth my time to just suffer through it anyway. The overall goal of playing through my whole collection is much more important to me than any individual game. There will be games I will stick it out and suffer through difficult and painful bits of. I also won't skip games I'm simply "not that interested in." Sure, I could say, "Oh well, first game incomplete. I give up. Challenge over." That seems counterproductive and not in the spirit of the challenge, though. I am going to play all of the unplayed games (melting mirthful maidenheads? get it? LAWL). I will play my fill, or beat them, or discover they are garbage, or whatever. Like I said before, no fucks given if I'm DQ'd; this is bigger than badges.

Well, I've been enjoying the hell out of A Valley Without Wind. Even as a keyboard+mouse platformer (normally not a fan) it's very solid. The city-building elements I'm not that into, but you can basically turn it off. It's kinda neat in that regard; there's separate difficulty sliders for the city management, the platforming, and the combat. I haven't moved them from default, but I might just to see what happens. My biggest complaint is that the game is HUGE. HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE. I can't possibly convey how large it is without using tags for increasing my font size (Results Guaranteed!). I'll try, though...
So, you're on a continent. That continent is made up of probably ~100 squares or so called regions. Each region is an area that seems to be about 10-12 platforming screens. This is the surface. Then, each of these screens has a chance to have abandoned buildings (2-20 or maybe more rooms), caves (more than buildings, and bigger rooms), missions (short), and maybe other stuff. Each cave (maybe buildings, I haven't seen this in them yet though) can have buildings, missions, entrances to deeper caves, etc. Now, zoom out a bit. To go through a single region, it took me hours. There are probably around a hundred of these on a continent, and when you beat the overlord of a continent, you GO TO A NEW CONTINENT. There is no end. You don't even have a way to end the character as when you die, your "glyph" goes to a new person. It's a massive game that is literally infinite. I'm probably gonna quit at 10 hours and move on to the sequal just to see if it's any better.
I recommend it, but only if you can curb your completionist urges.
--edit--
Oh, and with all that, I'm still doing level 1 stuff. MMOs got nothin' on this.
The Mitey Worriers tried Valley without wind, thinking it would be a cool co-op exploration game. It was neat until we all got stuck in a room with no exit, and spend an hour trying to figure it out before we quit. We found out later that the missing door was a bug in a build that was only live on the day we played, but we still haven't been back since. Perhaps it's time to give it another shot.

Okay, I'm 11 hours into AVWW, and I've defeated the first sublieutenant. Since this is technically an endless game, I'm going to call it good for now and move on to the sequel. It's a good game, but I'll hold off on recommending it until I see what they did with AVWW2.

Okay, so I'd actually written that last post about six hours earlier and just forgot to post it. By then, I'd played a couple hours of AVWW2. It's....different. There's more emphasis on the strategy part (it's been boosted from just general strategy to a sort of turn-based system), and most everything else is streamlined and simplified. I'm not going to say that's a good thing, though it's not a bad thing. It can be played with a controller (mouse for some menu stuff still), which is a nice change, but you lose the put-platforms-almost-anywhere aspect which was such a defining feature of the first game. The music got a pretty huge upgrade (though I don't know if I like it better than the chiptunes from the first), as did the graphics. It's also not NEARLY as open-ended as the first; all that bit within a bit within a bit within a bit has been slimmed down significantly, and this one doesn't even have graphic spatial-relation diagrams (it doesn't need them) (and yes, I could have said "maps" but that wouldn't be entirely accurate).
All in all, it's kinda nice that they're two rather different games with a similar style and the same general setting. I recommend them both, especially if you enjoy both strategy games and action platformers. I turned the strategy element down...it's just not my thing. I'll be playing this one at least the ten hours, and it's pretty certain I'll be going back to the first at some point as well.
Be warned, it is possible for the game to start you in a position where you can't even progress, but you can tell rather early on, and it was solved by deleting that world generation and restarting. Was a bit annoying, but the game technically isn't complete yet, and I've got a feeling the chances of that happening are rather low. It would, actually, probably be completely bypassed if you skipped the tutorial.

So, being in a hotel in Abilene with my laptop and crappy internets, I wasn't going to bother playing anything I'd actually write here about. I ended up cleaning off my hard drive, though, and in the process noticed "Hamlet or the last game without MMORPG features, shaders and product placement" in my list. I had snagged it because title, interesting premise and decent art, and decided it looked short enough to play tonight.
Well, it delivered on the title, premise and art. Holy crap it sucked, though. It sucked bad enough that I recommend you just don't play it. The story was fun, the art was cool, but the gameplay was so bad I only finished it so I wouldn't have to play it again later.
So, at first glance it seems like your typical point-and-click adventure game. A fairly simple one at that, having no inventory. Between puzzles that required fast clicking of tiny targets, discovering that what I thought was a help system of sorts was actually part of some puzzles, puzzles that any functional three-year-old could have done, and a color-based puzzle that was not only designed difficult for a colorblind person to navigate (there were actually two), but even MENTIONED COLORBLINDNESS IN THE SETUP (dicks), I found myself bouncing between completely bored and entirely frustrated like a Pong pixel on meth. The paddles would be boredom and frustration. Yeah, it's late.
Don't buy this game. Don't play this game. Do gift it to your sibling's asshole children for Christmas.

Well....I beat A Valley Without Wind 2. At least, I think I did. I beat the final boss, got the achievements, and then nothing happened. I went back to that room a few times, but nothing. Yay beta.
Anyway, 17 hours and 137 achievements (I think these game designers missed the point of achievements...) and I'm calling it beat. Definitely a good game. Definitely wait until it's no longer in beta. Go play the first one while you wait.

Now, I'm going to say up-front, social gaming will still trump this stuff. I'm not gonna nix my only real regular social activity for the sake of this competition. I'm also going to have days where fuck you I need to actually de-stress, so playing something else. If these things DQ me (lol Dairy Queen), well, I guess I'll just be DQ'd (or actually do shit besides gaming, which isn't a bad idea...). Won't stop me from participating, cause I wanna do this. Of course, this is going to take years, but I'm (kinda/almost/maybe/nopenotreally/I'llprobablygiveupeventually) okay with that.
So, I'm just gonna toss my whole list on here (mostly cause lazy, also cause at work). TBH, I don't actually remember what all I've beaten, so I guess I'll just say as I come to it. Also, some of these I've owned in other formats and just picked up on Steam for convenience, so 0 hours doesn't necessarily mean not-played. I'll be honest, but I'm also pretty sure that by five years from now nobody's going to even give a fuck anymore.
Anyway, here's the list. If you have a slow computer, I'm sorry about crashing you.

Next on the list, A Valley Without Wind (if we consider the whitespace in our alphabetizing). I've played over two hours, but the only thing I remember is that it /almost/ works with a controller; sadly you still have to use the mouse and keyboard fairly frequently. I'll probably start over considering I just jumped in and had no idea what was going on.
--edit--
Just to be clear, I know I'm technically skipping a game here. Considering the length of the list, and the fact that I'd probably sell the game to a pawn shop for a nickel if I had it in physical form, I feel fully justified. As far as I'm concerned, the only reason it's still in my library is because there's no benefit to removing it.
I actually expect this to happen a few times.
So, you're on a continent. That continent is made up of probably ~100 squares or so called regions. Each region is an area that seems to be about 10-12 platforming screens. This is the surface. Then, each of these screens has a chance to have abandoned buildings (2-20 or maybe more rooms), caves (more than buildings, and bigger rooms), missions (short), and maybe other stuff. Each cave (maybe buildings, I haven't seen this in them yet though) can have buildings, missions, entrances to deeper caves, etc. Now, zoom out a bit. To go through a single region, it took me hours. There are probably around a hundred of these on a continent, and when you beat the overlord of a continent, you GO TO A NEW CONTINENT. There is no end. You don't even have a way to end the character as when you die, your "glyph" goes to a new person. It's a massive game that is literally infinite. I'm probably gonna quit at 10 hours and move on to the sequal just to see if it's any better.
I recommend it, but only if you can curb your completionist urges.
--edit--
Oh, and with all that, I'm still doing level 1 stuff. MMOs got nothin' on this.
All in all, it's kinda nice that they're two rather different games with a similar style and the same general setting. I recommend them both, especially if you enjoy both strategy games and action platformers. I turned the strategy element down...it's just not my thing. I'll be playing this one at least the ten hours, and it's pretty certain I'll be going back to the first at some point as well.
Be warned, it is possible for the game to start you in a position where you can't even progress, but you can tell rather early on, and it was solved by deleting that world generation and restarting. Was a bit annoying, but the game technically isn't complete yet, and I've got a feeling the chances of that happening are rather low. It would, actually, probably be completely bypassed if you skipped the tutorial.
Well, it delivered on the title, premise and art. Holy crap it sucked, though. It sucked bad enough that I recommend you just don't play it. The story was fun, the art was cool, but the gameplay was so bad I only finished it so I wouldn't have to play it again later.
So, at first glance it seems like your typical point-and-click adventure game. A fairly simple one at that, having no inventory. Between puzzles that required fast clicking of tiny targets, discovering that what I thought was a help system of sorts was actually part of some puzzles, puzzles that any functional three-year-old could have done, and a color-based puzzle that was not only designed difficult for a colorblind person to navigate (there were actually two), but even MENTIONED COLORBLINDNESS IN THE SETUP (dicks), I found myself bouncing between completely bored and entirely frustrated like a Pong pixel on meth. The paddles would be boredom and frustration. Yeah, it's late.
Don't buy this game. Don't play this game. Do gift it to your sibling's asshole children for Christmas.
Anyway, 17 hours and 137 achievements (I think these game designers missed the point of achievements...) and I'm calling it beat. Definitely a good game. Definitely wait until it's no longer in beta. Go play the first one while you wait.
