Data cleaning was a bit messy, the concepty of Publisher and Developer might've been mixed in some instances.

 2nd pic's graphs are made on "Games that are rated 4+ Stars" data.

I play a lot of retro games through compilations or collections, and I was wondering if it was better to list each game individually in my list, or if I should count every game in the collection as one?

Original list by The_Gaming_Dog12 (posted with their permission)

To be eligible for this list, a game has to have at least 500 combined backlogs and wishlists on Backloggd.

THIS MONTH'S HEADLINERS:

- Marvel's Wolverine (9.4K wishlists)

- Control Resonant (8.7K wishlists)

- Onimusha: Way of the Sword (6.4K wishlists)

- Silent Hill: Townfall (4.7K wishlists)

- Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave (4.6K wishlists)

- The Blood of Dawnwalker (4.6K wishlists)

(Not including fighting games.)

I didn't play much from this year but the games I did I loved and highly recommend you play if you haven't

I wanted to do a website that takes a backloggd username and gives these (and more) tables about a profile but there is no official API for the site and I can only get the profile front page data using the community made API.

I've always sort of been fascinated by the period of 2005-2007 where the DS and GBA co existed and many of the titles would quite literally be the same game on both consoles. I put one sort of funny exception at the end but otherwise this should be mostly complete.

I get scared too easily. This is my list of horror games i would have tried if I don't get scared too easily.

Actually I did try gtfo tbh , it's not that scary and really fun with friends. I tried silent hill 2 as well , but I dropped it because it's scary.

I'm curious if there's a list of games that have a development history that is mythologized, well-documented, or both. If not, any examples to give? Any examples I can give of what I mean is slipping me right now, unfortunately.

Revised after Gamescom. As an ARPG guy, I am eating so good.

PoE2 is there for its 1.0 release, of course, while Last Epoch is there for the expansion & console port.

Entry 15 with the Chinese text is Sword and Fairy 4 remake, which will be heavily inspired by Expedition 33.

Thanks to the help of someone in this community I figured out https://backloggd.com/u/bans214/list/goty/2025/

If any placement seems unusual for you, just know it's a deeply personal list. I don't rank based on a quality checklist, just how a game made me feel.

For instance, Outlast 2 hit me really hard as a liminal experience due to my background in attending Catholic school. It hooked me start to finish as an oppressive nightmarish journey.

I played Alisa a lot during my paternity leave when my son was born. I love how it was basically 3DO-themed rather than Ps1-themed. The whimsical environments and dreamy soundtrack now give me a lot of nostalgia for that time of parenthood. The shop and currency system makes the game very replayable for me. With enough skill in the melee system, you can become overpowered. Lots of enemy variety for an indie too.

bit of an odd post if i had to take a guess but, what the title says.

for 2 months now i feel like i cant really enjoy a game without always having a thought lingering in my head that forms a review/star rating prior to even having finished the game, this has completely thrown me off for a while and i really hate it because gaming is my favourite hobby.

i know an answer can already be said, "cant you just not use backloggd anymore?" and, sure, ive tried doing that with letterboxd, but i dont really feel like it works. it threw off my interest in movies and at the same time i like to see my progress, i still do like writing reviews for media i liked/critique what i wasnt so fond of and give a star rating, and i totally understand this just seeming really contradictory, but when playing games and forming my opinion on them i like to divide them in 3 layers;

1. the whole point of the medium, entertainment
2. emotional depth
3. objectivity, the flaws it has and the things it did well

but because of the fact i always think to myself a future review, those 2 first points just seem non-existent. ive been playing shadow of the colossus, wonderful game, but i keep thinking of the score i want to give to it. why cant i just, enjoy it? especially on a game so cinematographily beautiful? it almost feels like im finishing it just to get my reward of adding it to my profile (yeah i get this last sentence gives more reasons as to why i should not use to site but, id rather find an alternative.)

has any of you felt this before, how do you deal with this?

thanks in advance :))

I'm actually a little surprised at this being the winner. I really thought 1997 was going to take it.

Anyway, what are you excited to play or vote for? I'm going to be playing Pokemon Crystal, Resident Evil Code Veronica and Dino Crisis 2 myself.

You thought you were out of school for the summer?

Think again!

Let me know what I missed.
