For me it’s Deus Ex Mankind Divided. I played the original when it was new but barely remember it and I owned shadow war and never got into it.

However Human revolution blew me away. I loved that game so much. I still think about it and actually am making this post because I finally started cyberpunk last night and got human revolution vibes like crazy.

However I bought mankind divided on my birthday when it released. Happened to be right around the same day. I turned it on, walked a few steps and turned it off. For whatever reason I’ve never turned it on again.

    After 30 years of gaming, I’ve recently chosen to ignore the remainder of my backlog. Whatever I’ve bought, but haven’t played up until this point, probably isn’t worth the time. Only favorites and unreleased titles from this point on.

      In an attempt to work through my backlog I categorized my steam library into

      Played

      Not played

      Completed

      Infinity-Games

      Not-Feeling it

      • Played/not Played can be handled by steam automatically.

      No recorded playtime is the “not played” category.

      Any amount of playtime is the played category.

      Games I Completed at least once are moved to the completed category manually by me.

      Games I thought I might like but ended up not liking are in the “not feeling it” group (also the ones I got through Bundles but never wanted get placed here)

      Infinity-games are games with no clear end like chess & Party Games or games where the Grind is the game like Monster Hunter.

      Games that remain in the played category are games I intend to finish one day or haven’t made up my mind about them yet.

      Games that I haven’t played are the ones I have to try out still to see if they belong in the “not feeling it” category

      By using groups I can reduce my backlog systematically giving every title a fair chance first and avoid forcing myself to play games that I end up not liking.

        This. I organized my library and hid away all the games that I’ve completed and will not play again or games that I bought and never will play (looking at you, bundled games).

        I try to keep my Playing Now section down to 5 or less games and it’s helped a lot.
