The Amazing Shrinking Backlog
I did the thingy.
Took a while before jumping on this trend but I finally did it, it's genuelly a great idea and a fantastic way to select certain games from your backlog and prioritize them.
A ton of fantastic users did their version of this already, but if I'm not mistaken, the original list was made by @HotAnaconda, so check it out!
With all that said, here are the propmts:
1. Play the first game added to your backlog
2. Play the last game added to your backlog
3. Play the game with the highest average rating
4. Play the game with the lowest average rating/no rating
5. Play a game from the 1980's
6. Play a game from the 1990's
7. Play a game from the 2000's
8. Play a game from the 2010's
9. Play a game from the 2020's
10. Shuffle your backloggd and play the first game that appears
11. Play an indie game by a developer you haven't played anything from
12. Play the game that is the most popular
13. Play the game that is the least popular
14. Play the game that was released the earliest
15. Play a game from your favorite genre
16. Play a game from your least favorite genre
17. Play a game with the most beautiful cover
18. Play a game that someone recommended to you
19. Play a game that was nominated for a Game Award in any category
20. Shuffle your backlog and play the first game that appears

Play the game with the highest average rating
Disco Elysium was already one of the games I knew I was gonna play in 2024 no matter what, but having it here gives me even more reasons.

You know.
Just for the funny of it.
And also 'cause I'm pretty interested to play it for myself.
But mainly for the funny.

Play a game from the 1980's
There are a few other games from this decade that I'm interested in that aren't on my backlog, but yeah, this is the main one and for good reason. Super excited to try the series at last.

Play a game from the 1990's
I mean... sooner or later I have to pick it up and finish it... right?

Play a game from the 2000's
The easiest possible pick (probably), but also the one I'm the most interested in and honestly I'm just really curious about the Wii version.

Considering that I've been meaning to play this for a while now, it's honestly incredibly lucky and fitting I got it by pure chance.

Got it for free after triying it out in a convention a while ago, so hey, giving it a go again wouldn't hurt!

Catlevania beats it but that's already on here, so Metroid II it is!

Play a game from your favorite genre
I don't really have a favorite genre, so I'm gonna be a bit sneaky and put here the 3D Platform which I'm the most interested in

Play a game from your least favorite genre
Same thing, I don't really have a least favorite or most hated game genre, but I'm the least experienced in Inmersive Sim and Pathologic seems different even among then, so it takes the place!

@Lordapop Noted and will do! I want to play all of Yoko Taro's work so it makes sense to play the series in order.
