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.
The new Spider-man
Growing up i fucking loved the PS2 Spider-man game based on Raimis 2nd movie, such good web slinging and combat
these new games are even better about it but for whatever reason i just can’t get into it
Detective Pikachu. I played it for 10 minutes and got bored. I keep telling myself I’m going to come back to it and actually play it, but 🤷
Cyberpunk and guardians of the galaxy
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.
They might be worth your time, but you do the right thing for not worrying about them.
Elden Ring
The Batman Arkham games.
NieR:Automata. My friends keep promising me themes that I know I will absolutely love, and I’ve managed to stay mostly blind on the story so far, but every time I consider playing it I just go ‘…nah, not now. Later for sure, though.’, and I have for the past several years.
I actually beat the game once. But I don’t get the hype around it. I know there are like 9 endings but I wasn’t impressed enough to play through again.
That game is fucken amazing
That Rick and morty shooting game, I can’t even remember what it’s called but got it with all the hype and it’s just sat collecting dust
Personally did not find it to be very funny and the gameplay was not great either. I wouldn’t recommend dusting it off
Persona 3 and 4 after I played 5 and 5 royal.
Persona 3 is getting a remake to be more like 5 and I will get to it… eventually. Just have to set aside 80 hours or so per game.
I finished that game pretty quickly. Loved stealth games
The new Underrail dlc
Hades and Devil May Cry 5
1 or 2 games? I’ve got entire series Ive not got to “yet” despite having them installed/uninstalled half a dozen times:
“Souls” games
Metal Gear series
Resident Evil
Devil May Cry
Bayonetta
Ive never played a single one of the above.
Nioh 2. I think I got Nioh for free at some point after Nioh 2 had already released. After 50 hours into it I purchased the sequel because it was so good. After 120 hours I still hadn’t finished the game because I’m a completionist and have to do all the side quests. Then something else came out that I wanted to play so I took a break. That was a couple years ago and I just haven’t felt like relearning it. It didn’t help that the mouse and keyboard controls were terrible, but I can’t play third or first person games with a controller. Wo Long was the latest game by the dev that I tried and it also suffered from terrible controls and I gave up on it after 10 hours.
Red dead redemption 2 and AC black flag, Ive been looking forward to them for a couple years but i know i won’t play them anytime soon,
