I very much like the Grouvee Challenge and added my own twist to it using Steam Tags which was a lot of fun to tie games to. Thank you to those of you who got this idea going. In addition to slating stuff on the Steam tag system i went off the current official Grouvee format(s) for 2019/2020, I just did not focus or force myself to pick things in order to complete tiers. I also found that the [Grouvee Monthly Retro Game Club](https://discuss.grouvee.com/t/monthly-retro-game-club/5456) and [Top 250](https://www.grouvee.com/games/top/) (and [Horrible Hundred](https://www.grouvee.com/games/bottom/)!) were very good ways to pick things to play (regardless of the slot) For quite a few of them, I was focusing on things that I had starred 4-5 stars on my high priority list that I have yet to play and got in a decent number this year…

I failed to complete some games before the year’s end, but that doesn’t bother me so much. I’m still playing Sanctus Reach off and on (a game I started in Jan 2019!) I’m smack dab in the middle of Yakuza 0. Due to picking up (and not being able to put down, lol) a lot of pick-up-and-play type games, I’ve got about 30-odd-something games on my playing shelf and pick quite a few of those up every month (or other month) or so. Which is a habit that I tended not to do so much in recent years since joined Grouvee actually.

Some highlights include continuations in franchises Such as **Bioshock 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, Super Metroid, Amnesia 2, Castlevania 2, Serious Sam 2** ( I remember at one point actually going for the sequels) I also made a nice dent in old Capcom-era action platformers and Disney IP (I’m not a Disney fan but these games are pretty good!)

Counts for the year’s end:

Official Grouvee Challenge Format: 18  
Steam Tags: 57  
Console/Platforms: 4  
total: 79

Of those 79 games:

BONUS CRITERIA:  
Grouvee Retrogame Club Picks/Top 250/Horrible 100: 7  
Completed Backlogs: 8  
Backlogs/Abandoned Attempts/Current Playthroughs (Both Current and Prior): 18  
New Backlogs/Abandoned Attempts/Current Playthroughs: 8 (of that 18)

(I write-off endless games as wash and not count them for either my Played shelf or Grouvee Challenge. Had a few of those.)

Going forward into next year’s challenge with 91 challenges (plus _some_ of the 18 backlogs)

This Fighter’s challenge Kontinues, but for now a feast, mk?
