Maybe most, if not all of us, have amassed a serious collection of games. Whether it be through Steam, PSN flash sales, Humble Bundles, thrift store pick ups, eBay lots, or even something as easily accessible as Game Pass, the amount of games we have at our fingertips can be staggering and make it difficult to finish games. Picking one is another struggle, too. So many choices...
So, lets talk about how we handle this and how we're progressing! Hopefully this thread can give us a kick in the right direction or to blow off some steam over the struggle of dealing with so many games. Do you tend to stick to one console or series and play them all to get the full experience? Do you hop back and forth with just whatever seems right? Do you have a system set up?
Currently I'm working my way through Persona 3 Portable and Yu-Gi-Oh! Stairway to the Destined Duel Worldwide Edition. I'm having a lot of fun with both of them, but sometimes my eye catches something else that looks a bit more tantalizing. Personally I try not to start too many games at once so that I don't forget story bits or objectives that I set myself to focus on. Next I plan to tackle Persona 4 Golden for a platinum trophy and maybe Yu-Gi-Oh! Nightmare Troubador for DS.
I manage my backlog with a spreadsheet that I've made in Google Sheets for tracking number of games on each system as well as time spent on each game and a numerical rating of 1-5 with how much I enjoyed it. I've found this to be the best way of managing things.
Edit: Since the first comment mentioned it, figured it would be good to bring to attention. If you would like a website that has a sort of social aspect to tracking your backlog, https://backloggery.com is a good option! Free and customization options for your backlog page to decorate it however you like.
