Honestly, this puts into perspective that maybe I should sign up for choice.

Not the one with the most entries, but I really wanted Total War Medieval 2, since Total War games are not currently sold in the place I live

Surprisingly it is Like a Dragon at 32 :/

I impulse bought yakuza 0 last year and got hooked on the series. Would recommend!

Also thanks to the person last year that sent Among the Sleep, it was good.

Going through my recently entered list, I only picked a handful that I hope for the most. Though they are pretty fresh so there haven't been many giveaways for them yet.

1. Chorus - space!
2. System Shock - spaaace! And a classic!

I'll just put my Jingle Jam remaining wishlist if anyone feels inclined to give their leftovers to me. I'll say that my backlog way too big and I may try grabbing them off steamtrades instead (or waiting for them to get rebundled due to that aformentioned backlog). I am low priority so feel free to give to someone else :).

• Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers canis remains mvp from adding me from this old comment :o

For anyone curious, bought bundle splits for Another Crab's Treasure, Eternights, Shadows of Doubt, Wildfrost

These are the games I entered most often in the last 12 months and haven't neither won nor aquired otherwise in the mean time.
In no particular order, since I just eyeballed my entries list:.

• Alba: A Wildlife Adventure
• Stray
• Necromunda: Hired Gun thank you Moony1986
• Bear and Breakfast
• Coffee Talk
• Rain on Your Parade
• Plantera 2: Golden Acorn
• Webbed thank you PoeticKatana
• DYSMANTLE
• Linked thank you antidaz

Thats a neat idea!

Lately for me its been:

• Jack Move x184
• Risk of Rain 2 x122
• Zoeti x120 (Thanks Amst4d!)
• The Last Campfire x92 (courtesy of Ethan, Thanks!)
• Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles x67
• Dreamscaper x67
• Tinykin x66
  - Tunche x64 (Thanks Lycan Kai!!)
• The Gunk x57
• Celeste x55
• Mutazione x55
  BLACKTAIL x52 (thanks a lot Flygotine!)
• Guardians of the Galaxy x51
• Plague tale Requiem: x50
• Jusant x46
• Persona 5 Strikers x42
• The Bookwalker x44
• Friends vs Friends x41 (Thanks Lycan Kai!!)
• Arboria x40
• Nitro Kid x21

By the scripts number, not necessarily ordered by most wanted- i enter EVERY chance i can find to all of them, some i dont find as many opportunities (like the Bookwalker)

Lately I've been interested in Persona 5 Strikers. I have a Steam family with my gf, and she has P5. It would be nice to have P5S (which I understand is the sequel)
Also, she has P3 and I have P4, so which Persona would be recommended to start? Neither of us has played any Persona

On the other hand, I have a weakness for point-and-click games, and I like anime/cartoon art styles, so any game I see in that style in a GA is an automatic entry for me lol

• Inua - A Story in Ice and Time
• The Curse of Monkey Island
  (I played the first two and loved them. Then I played Return to Monkey Island on Game Pass and its ending left me a bit unsatisfied, but I read that The Curse of Monkey Island has a better continuation even though Ron Gilbert wasn't involved)
• The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales
• When The Past Was Around (It's visually stunning, it reminds me of Behind The Frame which I loved)
• She and the Light Bearer
• Battle Chef Brigade Deluxe
• The Little Acre
• NORCO
• Hi-Fi RUSH
  (I don't know why I'm posting about this last game. Probably everyone who has a key for this game has kept it for themselves lol, but I really liked the visuals, It's clear that it has a lot of personality, and it got a lot of positive reviews this year (I haven't researched it much either, so I don't want to spoil myself)

Went through my top list and removed ones I would like less so that someone else could potentially have them, left with these 5

------------------------------------ (56x)
Moonlighter (50x)
------------------------------------(47x)
------------------------------------(41x)
Twin Mirror (37x)

I'm not sure if these were bundled recently but

Monster Hunter: World
Monster Hunter: Rise
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

And the ones I'm sure were bundled recently are

Warhammer 40k Darktide (I'm a huge warhammer nerd) I don't know how to cross the text since I'm on mobile
But huge thanks to Flygonite for Darktide!
Cassette Beasts (I'm a sucker for creature collecting games)
Persona 4

And I'll add a personal favorite which I'm still chasing and that I can count on 1 hand how many times I've seen is

Hunt showdown

I still linger on the same one that eludes capture. Control is out of control ^^

https://store.steampowered.com/app/870780/Control_Ultimate_Edition/

disco elysium is the first one that comes to mind for one that i feel like i've entered a million times (it's actually 122, just seems like a million) :)

Risk of Rain 2
Cassette Beasts
Inertial Drift (Thank you PoeticKatana)
For The King (Thank you insideAfireball)
OTXO
House Flipper
Overloop (Thank you RGVS)
Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles

I haven't entered a lot of giveaways of Children of Morta, but it has been in my wishlist for some time on other platform (GOG).

Nice script. I didn't see it last year. I did alot of manual counting using the search. I did get quite different results manually. But I guess the script is only looking at (or only found more recent entries) Last year i had a few up in the hundreds or entries but I managed to pick alot of them up this year.

1. Little Orpheus (43x)
2. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (42x)
3. Minute of Islands (42x)
4. Say No! More (37x)
5. Remnant Records (36x)

Interesting results from that script - thanks for making it, and I was happy to use it and look over the list it made. I've made a real attempt these last couple of years to take account of my ridiculous backlog and cut my giveaway entries way down, and I'm glad to see that this seems to have worked for the most part. I've also been pretty lucky: my top two most-entered games, with over 100 entries each, dropped off my list when I eventually won them, and many others got struck when they were collected into reasonably-priced bundles I could buy.

Those top two were The Entropy Center and Amanda the Adventurer, both of which are excellent. I'm hours deep in both of them still. Knocking out those I bought or won, I think I'll share the remaining top 8, because after that the entries drop below 30 each. And how much can I really want a game when I haven't entered for it 30 times? Unless it's very rarely given away, like Factorio.

Alfred Hitchcock - Vertigo (48x) - Thank you insideAfireball!
Airborne Kingdom (44x)
Heaven Dust (42x)
XEL (40x)
Sunset Overdrive (39x) - Thank you LightningCount!
Cats in Time (35x)
GYLT (33x)
Sands of Aura (33x) - Thanks grcemeise!

Must say this: I DO NOT NEED THESE GAMES. I have so many, and right now I'm playing through Borderlands 2 with a friend, and I also play Guild Wars 2 on the side. It will probably be quite a while before I get to them. But of course I do want these games - we all see each other's addictions and obsessions here, I think.

The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante -> Thank Linusthe Bold!
Persona 4
Persona 5 Strikers
Miasma Chronicles
Humankind
Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth
Sid Meier's Civilization IV
Civ5 Complete
Twin Mirror
Jack Move-> Thanks antidaz !
Hi-Fi RUSH
Ghostrunner 2
Children of Morta
Sifu
Midnight Fight Express

All of them are good games but didn´t make me click so I have to buy them right now. Regarding Civ collection, I was unsure this year but I will propably end up buying it next year.

I did the script because I think it's fun, gonna post the ones of the top 50 I'm mostly interested. I do not enter that many amount of GA since I do not collect videogames and I'm picky (plus I have enough backlog lol, I am already struggling to reduce it 😅).

1 - Pathfinder: Kingmaker — Enhanced Plus Edition (42x)
2 - Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition (26x)
3 - Kingdom Two Crowns (24x) (Thank you NateSCC 💙)
4 - Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - Enhanced Edition (22x)
5 - Dead Rising 2 (22x)
6 - The Walking Dead (20x)
7 - Dead Rising 2: Off the Record (19x)
8 - Maid of Sker (18x)
9 - Mega Man Legacy Collection (18x)
9 - Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy (18x)
10 - SUPERHOT (18x) (Thank you Momo1991 💙)
11 - AER Memories of Old (17x) (Thank you MournfuRelic💙)
12 - Streets of Rogue (17x)
13 - Kitaria Fables (17x) (Thanks phiba184 💙)
14 - Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition (16x)
15 - Moon Hunters (16x)

I think that's all, most of the ones missing: already ended up getting them on bundles, or I am not that interested since they just get giving away too much. In any case, not like I wouldn't care to get them now or in the future, I have enough with my current backlog. It was fun! And Happy Christmas to everyone.

Picked the top 5 from the list. Didn't even expect there were so many entries for Mediterranea Inferno xD

1. Mediterranea Inferno (178x)
2. Sticky Business (128x)
3. Loddlenaut (87x)
4. Metal Hellsinger (71x)
5. Heretic's Fork (63x)

BLACKTAIL (51 Entries)

Shadows of Doubt and Neverwinter Nights.
