I’m FINALLY tackling my game BACKLOG in 2024! (And you should too!) 

So, I had a backlog of around 180 games - all games I actually want to play - and since the beginning of December I've now played through 14 of them. I'm making good progress but it will still take me over 3 years to complete at this rate, but that doesn't bother me because I'm having a lot of fun.

I started this at the same time DarylTalksGames did with my own spreadsheet. It went well, I didn't finish everything, I don't think I ever will. But it makes it easier to pick games, easier to play games I wasn't sure I wanted to stick with, and easier to put games down if I knew there was nothing they could do for me. I've kept the list going this year and I'm I look forward to your journey and how it went in a year's time.

I think it's better to redefine what a backlog is. It shouldn't be every game you own since you don't even know if you'll like each game you play. That's just your collection. Your backlog should consist of the games you've played that you want to finish, but just haven't yet. It makes the list of games in your backlog much smaller with this mindset

Looks like some fun games on your list. I also had some inspiration from Daryl talks games. I didn't set any deadlines, but i made my way through a handful of fun games and ticking them off the list helped with some motivation to at least start them. Hope you enjoy some of the games you got there

So funny I was just thinking to myself how at this rate im gonna die with my backlog untouched.. ADHD stunlock gets me hard

i've tried a similar approach of making a list of all my games on my website and going through them one by one. so far that hasn't worked at all. having 3-4 hours to play games every day is not enough to get through a backlog of more than 150 switch games and more than 800 unplayed steam games - especially when most games i enjoy are rpgs and jrpgs which easily eat up 100 hours or more each. what helped a bit was to just ignore steam alltogether. now i only play games on the switch and use the pc for everything non-gaming. a problem i encountered after stopping to buy steam games was that i started to buy 6-10 switch games a month while only being able to beat 1 or 2 in that time. at least they look good in my shelves. recently i started to just gift switch games to my fiancee, which seems to be the perfect solution. i can focus on my backlog and still get all the new games i want to play sooner or later, but it's her pile of shame that keeps on growing and not mine.

That's a cool video in my recommendations! Thanks you bro!

I am really excited to see your progress. I will try doing it too 😊. And btw great content you just gained a new subscriber

I have a 492 games on my to play list rn in 2020 it had abt 450 I accepted that I will never be able to play everything

Know what's sad, I watching your video and then puase at part and say to myself do I own that game and then immediately buy two games

Ever since 2023 I’ve been trying to finish the majority of my backlog. I finished 49 games last year and 10 so far this year. Currently working on Assassin’s Creed Mirage. I feel like things have gone rocky over the last year but now I’m smoothly going through games, I just stick to games I like. If there’s a game I dislike or can’t get into I either don’t return or save for later. Now I have a nice list I’m cracking through. More games will come and some I’ll return too. I’ll never finish my backlog but I don’t have too.

My backlog is 50 games long. I'm working on Xenoblade Chronicles 3, next up is Final Fantasy VII (the original).

Oh 75 , I wish I could say the same, be glad you're not almost reaching the 4 digit mark like me and go for it seriously!

I have been tackling my backlog on and off for a while now. Being able to look back on what I have completed is helpful. This year I am focusing on getting through three games: Persona 5 royal, Hades and Immortal Fenyx rising. Happy to say I made it through Persona 5 royal and can now stop trying to evade seeing spoilers and clip from the game (game youtubers love showing persona 5 clips) I am looking forward to seeing what you learned from all of this next year. :)

I think I'm your 100th subscriber. 😅
