Do you have games in your library that you never played? I certainly do! In Steam you can create Dynamic Collection that lists Unplayed games. For me its 1248/1356 unplayed Games. Off course it can be any other platform or service too; this discussion is not limited to Steam. This thread is a reminder to us and everyone else to play these games. And actually, no. It’s just to talk about gaming stuff, that’s all. What do you think which game you own and never played would make others say “wtf, why not”?

  • Ori and the Blind Forest: This game looks and sound beautiful.
  • Persona 5 Royal: Everytime I want to play this game, the school theme turns me away.
  • Subnautica: A friend recommend me years this game. Legends say, he still does.
  • Slay the Spire: I have no excuse for this.
  • Hades: I like Roguelikes. My life need more Roguelikes.
  • Control: Such an interesting game. I have no idea about the story and mechanics, it looks interesting.
  • Disco Elysium: A detective roleplay with a lot narrative and freedom. I think.
  • Prey: Got interested into the game because some alien style thing going on. Game mechanics sounds very interesting.
  • Talos Principle 2: Not sure what awaits me. I expect Portal like gameplay, but without Portals.

I am ashamed of myself. But I really have a hard time finding time to play all of them.

(BTW the attached screenshot is supposed to be blurry, that’s not a bug, it’s a feature. And I try to upload a JPEG-XL image for the first time.)

(Edit: Just some typos corrected. Nothing to see here.)

    When I got my first job I started buying games on sale left-and-right. I only realized about a year later that I was buying faster than I was finishing them. Then I set myself a hard rule that I would only buy games that I was actively anticipating, like sequels to my favorite games. Still, there are at least two dozen games I have yet to play, which I plan to do in years to come. 😁

    Some notable games in my backlog are Half Life, BioShock and Mass Effect series.

      Man Mass Effect is also a series I have to get into. For Half-Life, there is also this fan made Remake that is also officially approved by Valve to sell: https://store.steampowered.com/app/362890/Black_Mesa/ Game was available for 2 Euros at some point, so its probably worth it. On the other hand the original Half-Life got a few updates to address some issues too, just recently (when I say recently, I mean a few years ago for Steam Deck).
