You guys play your games?

Only about a bajillion

About 60% of my Steam library is still unplayed. Around 10% of those games must be freebies so I'll say that yeah 1 in 2 games are sitting there patiently waiting for the right mood.

Yes but I'm not ashamed. They don't even take up space.

Hexologic in your screenshot is great and not too long.

I use a meticulous and obscenely overengineered spreadsheet, myself.

The list is very long and it got longer with all the weekly free games that Epic did. I've got games I paid for from 5 years ago still waiting to see the light of day. Even if I never added another I reckon I've a good few years worth of play time to go through them all.

Plenty! Everything from BioShock that isn't the first game ( not the remaster ), to 100% Orange Juice ( it was 100% off ) to Deus Ex GOTY ( also 100% off ). Also, a lot of indie games I haven't played yet, like Zofia ( despite loving the demo last December ), Toree 2, Super Kiwi 64, Lunistice, Gravity Circuit, Frogun Encore ( barely played the original ), and a ton more games in general on my Steam account.

This doesn't even account for the couple of Itch(dot)io games I have like Minami Lane or the first 2 Hitman games I have on GOG.

A lot of those games just looked good to me, when talking about the indie titles, but Minami Lane I know like nothing about besides someone I watch online did a video on it and I never watched it. Just got it from an itch(dot)io bundle. As for BioShock, I have only been replaying the first game and have like zero plans to play the remastered versions, let alone install Infinite because of a 42.47GB size thanks to DLC.

My list also includes a game I cannot actually include: BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend since I have played it for xbox360. Had zero clue what it really even was until popping it into my console in 2020.

Subnautica is one of the few games I've actually played all the way through. It was great!

I have tons of unplayed games. Many of them are ones I've heard a lot of good stuff about, and then bought on a sale. Still, I mostly end up playing the ones that have the lowest threshold, i.e., don't feel like they require many hours of uninterrupted gameplay.

I'm a lot more selective nowadays with what I purchase but yeah I do have many I've never touched. Especial on PC.

My real "issue" is that I probably complete only 1% of the games I start :/

That list of yours contains some of my favourite games ever. Subnautica if you love exploration and/or suffer from thalassophobia (my personal top #1), Disco Elysium is hard to describe but is the best written/voiceacted game I ever played, with a strong atmosphere, Prey (I suppose it's Prey 2017) is a very freeform, nonlinear and lonely walk through a space station, and Ori is a very beautiful and tight platformer with metroidvania progression, much like Hollow Knight & Silksong in its various mechanics.

Some of my (86) unplayed games :

• Alan Wake's American Nightmare (got softlocked on the 1st game and gave up years ago)
• Amnesia : A Machine for Pigs (1st one traumatized me, very unlikely to play this one)
• Baldur's Gate : Enhanced Edition (not used to top-down games)
• Ghost of a Tale
• Deus Ex : Invisible War

No

Only one, Baldur's Gate 3, because it is so god damn heavy it would take almost a third of my HDD if I tried to install it.

Absolutely, most of them are games I got as part of big bundles I got for 1 or 2 games, or for charity.

I don't buy many games to then not play them, but I am sure there are more than a couple that have slipped through where I got distracted or just never felt the mood.

I have definitely gone back and played a few of them, but it isn't something I worry about, as there are too many amazing games and just not enough time.

Are you kidding?! That’s how you build a massive game collection these days.

Because it’s nice to own games—not because you actually want to play them.

/s (There is a little bit of thruth)

I have played most of mine. Gold Mining Simulator is one that I recall buying but never playing. It was on my wishlist and went on sale for a good price. But generally I at least try each game.

Probably close to 50. Too many games, and not enough time.

Yes, but less than most based on this thread. Been on long term sick leave for 15 years so I've had, have and will continue to have a ton of time to play games but not as much money as most so I only buy ones I really want and mostly play them immediately. But had humblebundle choice for some years and got some bundles outside of that so got some random games I never touched. Gave away most keys I didn't want to friends and random people online, absolutely worth it just to make others happy.

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.

yes, many

Almost all of these I think were probably in a bundle at some point and not really intentional purchases, but here we go

Amnesia (both A Machine for Pigs and The Dark Descent, but I'm not into horror games)
Bioshock 2 (barely played 1, it went into the backlog and never made it out)
Dishonored
Fallout 3
GTA III / San Andreas / Vice City
Half Life / Half Life 2
Ori and the Will of the Wisps (got turned off by the intro/tutorial of The Blind Forest, never finished it, so never played WotW)
Saints Row 3 / 4
Tomb Raider (2013)
Wolfenstein The New Order / The Old Blood / Youngblood

Plenty more on Playstation I'm sure, but no convenient way to look that up afaik

Yes. I have something like 130 games in my library I haven't played. It's ridiculous.

Also, Ori and the Blind Forest and it's sequel The Will of the Wisps are absolutely incredible. It's like playing an oil painting turned into an incredible platformer. 10/10 highly recommend if you like 2D platformers. It's classified as a metroidvania, but if you're like me and don't like metroidvanias, it's very much metroidvania-light as in it won't make you explore endlessly for the next objective. I hate having to backtrack without a clear goal, which is why I couldn't get into games like Hollow Knight. I'm sure they're great games, but I got bored trying to figure out what to do or what was happening.

Also Subnautica is another incredible game. If you like base building games or survival crafting games, you'll probably fall in love with it.

Mostly the stuff I never played is games that is (or was) free.
