THE BLACKLIST 100 CHALLENGE

Good day everyone!

After some years out killing backlog alone I came back here with the hopes of sharing some more advancement with you. This year was terrible for most people, but at least it allowed me to play more than usual. Always see the positive side of things :).

About the backlog, when I started some years ago I had almost 200 names in the list, of which I managed to reduced to almost 60. Then I got the brilliant idea of reclaiming (and gifting!) a lot of the keys I had in different platforms. That, combined with some recent bundles I got, finally gave me the actual number of 100 backlog games. Overall, my data sheet tells me I’ve got:

• 57% games finished
• 27% games abandoned
• 16% games in backlog

So with this very even number of 100 games, I separated them in categories, because I tend to be very dispersed sometime, playing a lot of indie and short games, which is normally a very good thing, but at the cost of procrastinating playing the bigger and longer games, which are also very good, and potentially costed me more money. The idea is to choose at least one game from each category and play all of them till completion/abandonment without playing any more games in between. (Exception to this are games that cannot be finished and cooperative games, which I play with my wife and are not included in the list)

This is first draft of a grid, in which I will be following this challenge. My target is to eliminate at least 70 names from it during 2021, starting with the ones I am already playing or have installed:

#1: Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey
#28: Dark Strokes: The Legend of the Snow Kingdom Collector’s Edition
#41: Tacoma
#55: Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice
#75: Yooka - Laylee

We will see how it goes, I will make small reviews as I finish them.

For the last category, games 76 to 100, I will request some advice from you in the next post :D.

Don’t forget to stay safe for you and your loved ones, I just got out of COVID and I cannot recommend it at all, 0/10

Have a very merry christmas time, and thank you for reading.
