1. Play the first game added to your backlog
I'll probably get around to it once I finish RF4S!
2. Play the last game added to your backlog

Technically this was the first in my backlog but I uhhh put down the wrong version. so now it's the last one.
3. Play the game with the highest average rating

I wonder if it's rated so highly because it's kind of obscure. Well, I'll play it anyway!

COMPLETED
I was correct. It was still a pretty fun time though.
4. Play the game with the lowest average rating/no rating

I have a lot with no rating so I picked the one at the very end.

ABANDONED

Honestly I picked the wrong game here, it should be ChuSinGura 46+1 S. It was kinda garbage though so I'm not sure I care.
5. Play a game from the 1980s

I've always been curious about this one based on how hard the music slaps.

ABANDONED

I’m too much of a weenie for stuff like this. It is cool though.
6. Play a game from the 1990s

I'll probably be playing quite a few but this is one I wanna check out based on it being a Sega thing I know very little about. I was a Nintendo kid so the Genesis Online is lovely.

ABANDONED

Not necessarily my thing, but I think it’s neat enough. Definitely one of those things I’m glad I got to try even if I didn’t end up seeing it through.
7. Play a game from the 2000s

YEAAAAH KIRBY

COMPLETED

YEAAAAAH KIRBY
8. Play a game from the 2010s
Yeah I should get around to that CRPG everyone's talking about. Wait, this isn't the one...?
9. Play a game from the 2020s

Heard nothing but good things about this one, excited to play it!
10. Shuffle your Backloggd and play the first game that appears
11. Play an indie game from a developer that you haven't played anything from

I don't know, this seems indie.

COMPLETED

Very cute! I didn't get the DLC yet, but maybe someday? It's a nice little free puzzle platformer. It's Free Puzzle Platformers.

12

12. Play the game that is the most popular

Yeah okay I'll finally play Portal.
13. Play the game that is the least popular

I guess I'll get my PSP emulator working...
14. Play the game that was released the earliest

Okay I'll play Donkey Kong Junior.

ABANDONED

I’m not big on old ass arcade games sorry…….
15. Play a game from your favorite genre

Is it cheating if it's part of a marathon I'm doing anyway?
16. Play a game from your least favorite genre

Not big on fighters but I DO like this little guy.

ABANDONED

Actually pretty fun, but I didn’t feel like finishing it due to save state issues and No Translation.
17. Play a game with the most beautiful cover

It is VERY nice.
18. Play a game that someone recommended to you

is this also cheating if i intend to go through all of these. eh.

COMPLETED

I wanted to go in more of an order... but I did play a game between Higurashis, even if it was short.
19. Play a game that was nominated for a Game Award in any category

I had to go back to the 2021 game awards to find something actually on my backlog....................................... (nominated for Games for Impact)

COMPLETED

It's good! I loved it!
20. Shuffle your backlog and play the first game that appears
