This called for some prioritization.
Here’s how I prioritized the games that are worth my time.
What’s In My Game Library: The Assessment Step
Clearing my gaming backlogrequired a defined process.
The shorter the game, the closer it got to the top of the list.
Get in, get something done, and get back out to do something else.
The short games at the top of my list were perfect for this.
But what about the longer games?
Well, I will be honest; some longer games also made it to the top of the list.
Here are the criteria I used to judge them.
I usedMetacriticto back up the reviews for these games.
If the reviews said the game was good, it would go up the list.
Finally, for the longer games, I implemented a strict playtime window.
A long game had exactly one hour of playtime to hook me.
The lack of a solid plot of the game made the experience one I could afford to avoid altogether.
That means that even more games are gone from the backlog list!
There is also the concern of new arrivals to my library.
New games are constantly being added, and these will also find their way on the list.
However, following the procedure usually determines whether they’ll get played or not.
After all, your time is valuable.
Don’t waste it on games that aren’t worth it!
