Gotta Play' Em All! Lengray’s profile
My backlog-killing strategy
Stay away from games deals websites.Play new games right away.
Start on easy difficulty if available.
Ignore achievements unless I truly love the game.
Drop a game if playing it has become a chore.
Beaten/completed guidelines
Games with achievements
completed = 100%
completed = I got to the credits and only skipped a small part of side content, if any.
beaten = I got to the credits but left out quite a bit of side content.
I suck at this game but I fell in love with it! An underrated gem.
Excellent game overall. Length and difficulty were just right.
A very soothing experience even if it's quite a short one.
Action-packed from start to finish and deliciously over the top.
Simple and repetitive but strangely addictive. Many secrets to be found!
A short and pleasant thriller set on Mars. Movement is too slow though.

It's actually quite simple. When I beat a game from my backlog, I check out its all-time low price, add 25% of it into a virtual piggy bank (a spreadsheet, really) and that's all the money I'm allowed to spend on new games. For my old Wii and 3DS games, I use the price I paid for them (which I kept track of). This way, it encourages me to play the most expensive games first before their value drops too much and favour games I actually bought over freebies and emulated games since they count for nothing. Another restriction is that I must not buy more games than I have beaten over a three-month period. I still have hundreds of great games to beat so there's no reason my strategy shouldn't keep working.
Phenomenal experience through and through.
The atmosphere, mystery and exploration really pulled me in.
Surprisingly good mix of stealth and shooting. The level design is stellar.
What fun it was to play a game with my eyes closed!
Funny characters, absurd dialogues and simple puzzles.
I love Wadjet Eye but this one was a bit generic and frustrating.

That being said, I haven't given up yet and recently devised a different way of fighting my backlog with a better reward than simply giving myself a pat on the back. I won't talk about it right now but I'll let you know if it works.
What a fantastic game! The maps are great and racing is extremently fun.
Despite the performance issues, I really enjoyed this remaster.
Definitely a happy surprise from the original story to the game mechanics.
An old game but still quite fun. Very arcadey though.
Not a bad game at all but it doesn't deserve the bloodlines name.
Phenomenal until the last third. Then it's all combat and becomes boring.
A good entry in the series. The true successor to Quake II
A strange blend of VN and exploration. Nice but the story is quite convoluted.
A perfectly competent shooter. Best played in co-op but also decent solo.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Switch · 25 hrs God of War PS2 · 16 hrs Contact DS · 17 hrs
A superb post-apocalyptic FPS, even better than the first game.
This sequel was just as enjoyable as the first. I love their visual identity.
A dispensable but still nice game. Complements the books/show well.
An unexpectedly cool thriller. Solid story and gameplay all around.

What a phenomenal VN! It's super long but a must-play.
A solid game from start to finish. I would definitely play it again.
A superb sequel, though quite darker in my opinion.
A very nice evolution. The handling and the level design have improved.
Gliding over the ocean has never felt as good. Short and enjoyable.
Satisfyingly evil, it's a nice retro pixel-art game.
The visuals are great but enemies are bullet sponges and it's easy to get lost.
Like all HOG, it's very casual but still a nice break from all the action.

A superb mystery game featuring charming visuals. Will you solve it?
A mysterious game based around languages. Great till the end.
Punchy gameplay, extensive levels and all-out action. A classic!
Quite a clever puzzle game full of mystery.
Biased as I love pixel art, I really enjoyed this game.
A treat for plant lovers. Good story but sorting out the plants is tedious.
Such a goofy game. The dialogues are very well written.
Frustrating at time with its finicky controls, it's still fun to play.
Excactly what you would expect from a Lego game covering the original trilogy.
Not a bad game but it just didn't appeal to me. It's sad but hard to relate to.

A really cool modern JRPG. The pixel are is delicious and combat is original.
A great atmosphere for a very solid horror game.
Uneven and a tad tedious at times. Still worth playing to the end.
