Jan 022019
Last year, I once again vowed to play at least 40 games to create a dent in my backlog.
Once again, I played more than 40 games and my backlog did not shrink.
This is because of free game promotions, Humble Bundles, and the sort of decision-making that led me to buy six God of War games instead of just the new one.
So we’re doing it again, and for Operation Backlog Completion: Round 4, I challenge myself to beat 50 games in 2019!
Operation Backlog Completion 2019
For the past two years, I’ve also listed specific games I wanted to complete during the year: my most-anticipated games and games I backed on Kickstarter.
Of the games I listed last year, I played Cosmic Star Heroine and Vampyr. I decided to skip Octopath Traveler, Kingdom Hearts III was delayed, and The Wolf Among Us: Season 2 was cancelled, which still hurts.
(I was waiting for my physical copy of Yooka-Laylee to arrive.)
This year, I’ll play the games I skipped, my most-anticipated games of 2019, and also The Great Gaias, which gives us the following list:
- Batman: Arkham Knight (and possibly Arkham Origins)
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (after playing The Witcher 2)
- Dragon Quest XI
- Kingdom Hearts III
- Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition
- Resident Evil 2 (remake)
- Luigi’s Mansion 3
- Judgment
- Yooka-Laylee
- Aviary Attorney
- Aurion: Legacy of the Kori-Odan
- Dies Irae
- Shadows of Adam
- A Hat in Time
- The Great Gaias
Do you have any video game goals for 2019?

Well, with 50 games to play, it still has a chance of getting in this year. 😛
You said that last year, too.
Dx It… It’ll happen someday!
Getting through 40+ in one year is impressive. Even if you didn’t clear the backlog, it’s still ‘give yourself a pat on the back’ time.
Haha, yes. 🙂 Thanks!
