It’s time for gamers to free ourselves of the shame we feel when we think of our backlogs. Every unplayed title is like a little reminder of one moment of weakness, and it can be tough to see all of those reminders listed alphabetically in your Steam library when you’re about to start your fiftieth Skyrim playthrough. But hey, it’s a collection! People fill their bookshelves with novels they’ve never read. We should be able to do the same with games! Here’s a list of the perfect titles to get you started.

Ok Subnatica was just too much at first, no fun. Ya, I'm guilty. Looked cool, but I quit at 2.4hrs.
Dave the Diver got 82 minures out of me. I'll play it again.
Witcher 3. Man, I can't convince myself to finish the early ones and I don't want to start at 3.
Other notables like Fallout 4 and No Mans Sky got hundreds of hours from me.

Add Elden Ring to the list. That game is a piece of work ... that I did not enjoy. 13hrs.
