Operation Backlog Completion 2022

My backlog completion progress got dealt a harsh blow last year due to the PlayStation Store shutdown news, which prompted me to pick up a significant number of PSP, Vita, and PlayStation Classics titles before they changed their minds.

But this year will be the year to make a significant dent! Right? Right??

Although it was close, with me playing two short games on New Year’s Eve to hit the goal, I did beat 100 games last year, so let’s aim for that again.

Last year, my game completion goals also included 17 specific games, of which one was delayed and I beat 6.

So for this year’s list, we will carry over the remaining titles from last year’s, along with my most-anticipated games of 2022 and a couple new additions I want to be sure to play this year.

• Batman: Arkham Knight (followed by Arkham Origins)
• The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings (followed by Witcher 3)
• Dragon Quest XI
• Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition
• Yooka-Laylee
• Aurion: Curse of the Kori-Odan
• Dies Irae
• The Great Gaias
• The Cruel King and the Great Hero
• Trails in the Sky SC (followed by Trails in the Sky the 3rd and Trails from Zero)
• Triangle Strategy
• God of War Ragnarok
• Bayonetta 3
• Yakuza 5
• AI: The Somnium Files
• The Good Life

Last year also saw the release of a game I backed on Kickstarter, The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark, but I played that in October (and played the first bonus case last week). Meanwhile, I’ve added AI: The Somnium Files to the list because I want to play it ahead of its sequel!

(Update: I forgot The Good Life also came out last year, so I added it!)

You know, this list has looked pretty similar for… several years now. Maybe this will be the year I finally cut it down!

Do you have any gaming-related goals for 2022?
