Found this video really interesting as I have a relatively large backlog myself. Fortunately not nearly as large as this one.

Personally, I’ve only ever considered games I own to be part of my backlog, which makes my list much more manageable. That said, I have a large number of unplayed games on both Steam and GoG. So to start I’ve decided to play all my GoG games first (as that is still within reach). I’ve promised myself not to buy any more games untill all my GoG games are either completed or marked “did not finish” due to it not being my thing.

    I basically have a spreadsheet to tackle my backlog, I add 10 - 20 games to my list of games that I’ve bought (mostly on discount, some from bundles, and some from PS+, some emulated games, etc), then I’d just stream them.

    If I don’t feel like the game is resonating with me, I’d just stop, assign Not Resonating tag and move on.

    I do admit that when I see a big backlog, I tend to exhibit these behaviors:

    • Guilt in buying new games, which is not bad, now I only buy full priced game once or twice a year, and mostly buying discounted stuff
    • The need to power thru games that I don’t like, until I started using Not Resonating tag, which I give games that don’t click with me two tries, before giving up

    Playing games on stream made me:

    • Alternate between long and short games
    • Alternate between AAA games and indies

        I have hard time aiming the stomp, handling the motion control, and by the time I reached the underwater level, I’m exhausted.

        It’s a good game, but sadly it’s not for me, at least not for long term session of playing. Maybe one day I will play the game in short bursts, but platformer is sadly not my genre.
