Backlog Assassination Report #1

Thanks for the invite to the site! My goal is to beat at least 1 game per month and slowly cut down the backlog. With work and studies atm, it’s tough to curve out more time for gaming. Hopefully there will be more time in May and I can game more.

As I’m new to the site, I spent some time diligently following the guide to sort out my library and creating lists. Thank you so much for the very helpful guide! The statistics is interesting - 13% of my library is unfinished and 57% has never been played. So lots of backlog.

These are the games I’m playing now or will start soon. I’m hoping to get 100% achievement (or close to it) for Freecell Quest! Just installed XCOM 2 and am really looking forward to it as I enjoyed the first XCOM. Continuing with Ember which I started a few days ago. Wish me luck!

Welcome to the community :D Have much fun here.
If you want to complete as many games as possible it is easier to do with smaller, shorter games. But I would just recommend to play those games that you are most motivated. And don’t force yourself to a specific ratio.

Thanks for the advice! I’m looking forward to the fun :)

Good luck with the backlog!

HLTB (https://howlongtobeat.com/steam.php) can be helpful on selecting games if your time is limited. Better to go with the ones you enjoy, however it’s good to know upfront how much time you’ll need to beat a game.

Thanks for the site! I do intend to try those that I haven’t tried before so this will be a good gauge on time needed :)

Aww yeah, welcome aboard. :)

Don’t let anyone tell you to tackle as many games as you can. It’s always quality over quantity as far as I’m concerned. Just going through the motions to cover something without caring about it will get taxing over time.

Xelco

Thank you! Yeah I’m more in the camp of quality over quantity =)
