Since Steam has a neat little feature to show a yearly summary of your gaming activity, I thought I'd create a thread for sharing.

Here's my "Steam Replay" for 2024: https://store.steampowered.com/replay/76561198042495191/2024

Seems like I was able to a bit more gaming than the very weak 2023, but what I most like to see is that the proportion of play time on Windows has shrunk significantly. 2023 I played a lot of multiplayer games with potentially problematic anti-cheat like SCUM, and was too scared to try other multiplayer games like Deep Rock Galactic under Linux because I thought it might degrade my experience (even hesitated for some singleplayer games like Red Dead Redemption 2). But 2024 I simply happily experimented with running everything under Linux first and I think I had no instance of a game I wanted to play that DIDN'T work with Linux (thanks to, among other things, continuing Steam Proton progress). Some took a bit of work to properly configure, or might have a small issue I have to work around, but nothing that is worse than booting into a whole different OS (that I dislike).

The spider graphs of gaming "genres" are also always fun to look at. Seeing some ongoing themes there starting from the first Steam Replay in 2022, but also change:



This is a pretty cool feature! Here's mine: https://store.steampowered.com/replay/76561198126428824/2024

My own Steam Replay is pretty uninteresting on the OS front - evidently I haven't booted up Windows (or even a VM) to play a game since at least 2021. 100% Linux for me - those graphs don't even show up. Proton really has come a long way!

The spider graphs are more interesting:

As I'd expect, metroidvania is the sole mainstay category for me. LOL at the "Dwarf" category from 2024. Didn't know that was a thing. Too much Deep Rock Galactic I guess? 😆

Searching the Steam store for the "Dwarf" tag yields almost exclusively DRG, LOTR, and Warhammer games. In my case, I guess my recent playtime in DRG and Warhammer 40K: Darktide is enough to make that a prime category. 🤷‍♂️

    infinitymdm Yeah, for me it seems to be mostly Deep Rock Galactic (plus Warhammer: Vermintide 2 in 2022). It would be more dwarf-centric if I had "Return to Moria" on Steam and not Epic (would also mean more Linux playtime/game share), which my two buddies and I have played a lot in December (and continuing into January)
