I don't, it's just a monstrosity that grows infinitely.

I'll usually sell the majority of them on amazon while I use that money to buy games I'm more inclined to play more regularly..

I don't. If I can't be bothered beating a game I buy, I chalk it up to not being a good game and I move on.

I browse through my backlog-list sorted by MetaScore and pick one from the genre I want to play next.

I try to avoid playing several games of the same genre back-to-back.

I just pick up and play whatever I feel like playing at the time. My backlog has actually been getting smaller over the last year, as I've played through quite a few of my unfinished games. I just don't really stress about my backlog these days. At least I know that I will always have new games to play in my collection.

Wait you can actually games... I rarely uy games so I got that going for me. Horizon Zero Dawn is my second game this year. And I still got to finish Dishonored 2. So I might have catched up in June ready for a new game. Upside is I always have a high profile game I want to play anyway since I only buy 5-6 games a year. I don't see the point in having a backlog since its a waste of money.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

Why do you do this to me

 

Honestly, at the time being, I just don't care about my backlog. I have to many other things I have to keep up with to worry about not playing enough games. I did recently complete Gravity Rush Remastered though. I but it away after playing it a bit when I first bought it a year ago, but when I decided to continue it recently I got really sucked into the world an completed it pretty quickly. But in general, at my current pace, completing a games takes like a month on average, so I'm really slow. My backlog isn't *that* big though, because I've scaled back game purchase. I quit buying games on Steam because they were on sale and looked sorta fun a long time ago, I generally just buy games I'm genuinely interested in now.

Yeah, it's my "pool of choice", not my "pile of shame". ;)
