This can be games off your backlog too that were in process, but you finally had a chance to complete them.

I've been able to knock off 11 games off that backlog list thus far, certainly the fastest I've been able to work through it in awhile for obvious reasons.

How about everyone else?

Rayman Legends
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled
Animal Crossing New Horizons

Productive so far. Want to keep playing Final Fantasy games, I've done 1-3 so might start back with 4 and keep moving forward.

From my backlog, and not ones that I just bought recently? I've finished FFXIV up to Heavensward. Other than that, I beat Nioh 2 and DOOM Eternal.

Wrapped up the end of Skyrim at last. Then:
Bioshock 2 Minerva's Den
Katamari Damacy REROLL
A Story About My Uncle

And now nearly done with Hollow Knight and Runner3! Following those will be Undertale, and then I might finally sink into Shadow of Mordor.

I've cleared 5 from my backlog, as well as beating DOOM Eternal and Final Fantasy VII Remake. I'm not sure if I will be getting back to my backlog anytime soon though, as all I want to play right now is FF7R lol

None, I read somewhere (probably era) the idea that "mandatory free time is not relaxed" and I've felt that with every game and TV show I've attempted to watch. I can't will myself to play/enjoy content when I'm trying to keep the day busy with filler.

So far, four: Borderlands 2, Assassin's Creed III, Ori and the Blind Forest, and Superhot.
Working on Doom 2016 and Ocarina of Time right now, and then I'll be moving onto Resident Evil 3.
I'm still in online classes though with final projects and exams so it's not as though I have a lot of free time unfortunately.

None. Sekiro has a pretty steep learning curve. Hopefully once I get past that, I could blow through some games more quickly.

I had plans for the lockdown and made good on none of them.

Most were hobby and video game related, but still.

I've just been watching Bob's Burgers in reverse order and playing Animal Crossing. But I guess there's certain merit to that.

I've discovered I have a taste for brass monkeys as well, so that's something.

Since lockdown I've completed Terminator Resistance (platinum) PS4, and am half way through both Shenmue and FarCry 3 classic (both PS4 also). So not too impressive!

One. Beat FF7, playing FF12, and this shit is way too long. I'm going to rip through some games that aren't RPGs when I'm done with this.

Six so far: RE7, RE Revelations, NieR Automata, DOOM (1993), Katamari Damacy, and the DK DLC for Mario + Rabbids (which is kinda like a separate game?)

I don't know why but for some reason I kept choosing shorter games from my backlog. Really enjoyed those short experiences, but now I think it's time for something bigger (maaaaybe FF7 Remake/RE3/P5R.)

None.

FFVIIR will probably be the only one. I'm mostly playing Yugioh and Slay the Spire but I'm not trying to complete them, just like playing a few matches and done.

If anything, I've been using this time to play more "endless" games. Most of my play time since all this started has been split between ACNH, Modern Warfare, and FFXIV.

Honestly, lockdown has reignited my love for gaming, I've never done so much for ages!

Resident Evil 2 - incredible, what a game 9/10
Firewatch - meh, was blown away by the first half, the second half was dull, couldn't wait for the credits by the end, 6/10
Doom 2016 - so satisfying to play and a technical masterpiece but got a little bored by the end, 8/10

I'm also playing COD Warzone, GTA5, Spider-Man and Bloodborne (again).

Zero. I haven't been able to game that much during all this and most of the time if I play a game it's something quick like Tetris 99 or Mario kart 8 on switch. But I have replayed halo reach and combat evolved on legendary on pc. Started p5 Royale. Was thinking about starting up star wars fallen order. And I'm bout to beat dragon quest(1) on switch.

1. Grim Dawn.

I dont play any faster just because of the lockdown. I do hope it delays everything though so I can atleast somewhat catch up to my backlog.

1-5: Super Metroid, dead space, half life 2, Ico

Edit: it seems some are including ff7r and half life: Alyx so if that's the case then I'd be in the 6-10 group as I have completed those 2 games as well.

Six of them so far.

Beat Saber (It has a campaign, it counts)
Mega Man Star Force
Half-Life: Alyx
One Step From Eden
Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy XIII-2

It would be more like 10 if I wasn't playing a bunch of RPGs, but what better time could there be to actually finish the Final Fantasy series?

I'm still working full time + usually 20ish hours overtime due to working in healthcare so just the one that I was already mostly done with. Control.

0 from the backlog. I still work full-time. I have finished RE3 and working on FF7 atm. Doubt I will be done with it soon since I work 6 days next week.

Once Animal Crossing launched, I've barely touched other games. I only started to transition to others (Picross) just a couple of days ago.

I am working from home, so don't have much more gaming time. If anything I have less as I have a four months old baby at home.

Instead of fixing my backlog I game on the 2DS I bought used some months ago. I have never own a Gameboy so VC alone will keep me busy for years to come. For the moment playing Donkey Kong.
