Interested in seeing how other people approach their backlog. I’ve finally made a list of all the games I want to finish, and I’m forcing myself to play one of them a day for at least an hour.

As an added incentive, I’m forcing myself to wait to finish a backlog game before I can buy a new one. I’ve got a lot of playing to do between now and October.

    Simple, I don’t. I play whatever I feel like playing, sometimes I stick with it, sometimes I start again after a year and well sometimes, I never touch that game again.

    I don’t have a backlog, I have a collection.

    I’ve accepted the fact that sometimes It is ok to let a game unfinished. If I had enough with a game in my backlog and I don’t want to play it anymore, I stop and play a new one, the game is « done ». If I finish then the game was a really good one !
    Careful with forcing yourself to play !

    The only game in my backlog is the Final Fantasy VII Remake and my strategy for clearing my backlog is “when my kids are sufficiently independent”. Right now that is not even a little bit a possibility.
