A new year means a new round of Operation Backlog Completion, a goal in which in theory will help me conquer my game backlog and in reality only makes me realize that my backlog is an unstoppable force of doom.
But hey, last year I set a 50-game goal for myself, and this year I’m going to do the same.
(I’ve also decided to change the post title to reflect the year rather than the round number. It makes more sense and will be less discouraging as the years go on.)
Operation Backlog Completion 2020
I also listed 16 games I intended to play during the year, of which I played 6. Here’s hoping it goes better this year, as my new list includes the games I skipped from last year’s list, another crowdfunded game I backed, and my most-anticipated games of 2020.
And Color Splash. Just because I have a friend who really wants me to play it.
- Batman: Arkham Knight (and maybe Origins, but let’s try for one thing at a time)
- The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
- Dragon Quest XI
- Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition
- Yooka-Laylee
Aviary Attorney- Aurion: Legacy of the Kori-Odan
- Dies Irae
- The Great Gaias
- Bug Fables
- RE3make
- Tales of Arise
- Yakuza 3 (what, you thought I was going to put the entire Remastered Collection on this list?)
- Psychonauts 2
Final Fantasy VII RemakePaper Mario: Color Splash
Special mention goes to Aviary Attorney, which I intend to play not only before the end of 2020, but before the end of January, since Aviary Attorney is coming to the Switch on January 30.
Do you have any video game goals for this year?
“And Color Splash. Just because I have a friend who really wants me to play it.”
w00t!
My 2020 goals include… Finish all routes of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and play through Dragon Quest XI S.
OH, and play through Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy in French.
(Just for Benjamin Hunter.)
I want to say finishing all the routes of Three Houses is a goal for me, too, because it would be terrible to start the year with it in progress and end the year with it still in progress, but then again, those routes are massive.
Note that I didn’t put Travis Strikes Again in the comment.

From what you’ve said about it, I’m not surprised. XD
…your antipathy toward Travis Strikes Again makes me strangely more curious about trying it someday.
There are just too many games, and so little time!
It’s like you’re dealing with a… Zero Time Dilemma…!
My goals include finishing some games I’ve got, like Life Is Strange: Before the Storm, trying to finally make even a small dent in my Steam library, Animal Crossing, and maybe finally try Judgment and/or Fire Emblem…
Judgment! Judgment!
Judgment is shorter than Fire Emblem.
Aviary Attorney is a neat game. I love the art.
I’m playing it now, so the review shouldn’t be too far off. 🙂
[…] goal last year also included 17 specific games I intended to play. I only actually finished three of them, but I […]
