Note that I counted Mahjong Soul as a Completed game and a Repeat game. Reason being that I played it in previous years, not for the first time in 2022. Additionally, while there's no real way to beat it, I've probably invested a ridiculous amount of hours into the game at this point. I completed many seasonal events, including some of them with very respectible placements. I've also grinded my way up to a pretty difficult rank. Short of becoming a legitimate professional Mahjong player in real life -- which, at this point, I might put up a good fight against some pros -- I don't know if there would be a higher requirement for saying I "beat" this game.

For the MMOs I know they technically have infinite content, but in my case I did not beat the main campaign or reach endgame in either game so I'm fine with not counting them as completed. You could make an argument that I made it to endgame in PSO2 while ignoring the story quests but it's not worth splitting hairs over.

Skyrim I was ultimately not sure how to categorize it. I did not complete the main campaign. But at the same time, completing the main campaign was not my goal. I did achieve my goal of surviving and becoming a self-sufficient character in the world in Survival Mode on Legendary Difficulty. In this case I'd probably make the argument that I did "complete" my playthrough, just not the main quest intended by the developers. But ultimately I again found it wasn't worth splitting hairs over, so I just left it as unsure.

Note that several of the games marked as Incomplete/Repeat are games that I DID finish at some point in a previous year, but I did NOT finish the playthrough that I started in 2022.

Completed Games: 11/40 (27%)
Incomplete Games: 28/40 (70%)
Repeat Playthroughs:25/40 (62%)
Blind Playthroughs: 11/40 (27%)
Remakes: 4/40 (10%)

I only complete about 1 in 4 of the playthroughs that I start.
This would have only gone up to 30% if I included Skyrim.
I put about 70% of playthroughs on hold at some point
Most of them I will not come back to, but some of them will be completed in 2023
Persona 5 Royal Deluxe is not included in these stats
So that's another game indefinitely on hold...

10% of games qualified as blind playthroughs of remakes.
I didn't count stuff that was a direct port.
27% of games were blind playthroughs of games I had never played before.
62% of the games I played this year are games I have played before.
I have a tendency to simply replay games that I know I like...
Or sometimes things I haven't played in years and want to try again.

To showcase this, 8/10 of the games in the Top 10 were Repeat Playthroughs if you include the remakes as Repeats. The remaining two games were both parts of a series that I already knew I liked, and was looking for more games in the same series. I do not try new things often. And when I do, it rarely holds up against my established favorites...
