Too many games, how to decide

[Zorbec-L-Kraak]

Hello, I have too many games. All of them I got because I wanted to play them, I still do want to play all of them but I have trouble finishing 1 game before I start another. I have maybe 100 on ps4 and 159 bought + free games on steam and there's obviously not enough time to play all of them to the end. What to do?

You don't have to finish every game you own. You don't even have to play them in any order. If some game is boring you just move on to the next one for awhile.

You don't even really even need to play any of them.

I have several games I fully intend to get around to playing one day. Got them on sale.

Stick em in a category name it new unplayed games. Steam will recomend you play them occasionally. . Leave them uninstalled and think of the purchases as points added to your points store. Maybe you'll never play some . I also have a ton games never played.

Sort by the date published on steam. (Yes I realize certain remakes of retro games decades ago have a modern date, you can use the original game's release date if you prefer) Play games from within the same year in any order and finish them in one year. Put the ones you don't finish in a "boring" category for later. One of the few reasonable ways you might even get to see some games you never new you had.

I would ask why did you copy this post:

But I then realized you somehow managed to not comprehend the badge requirements. What a shame.

For starters, don't treat the games like jobs. They are entertainment.

Myself, I play one game at a time, start to finish, or start to whenever I decide it's not worth finishing. Then, I pick a next game.

No specific ordering or anything, although I try to keep some semblance of trying to avoid "more of the same" -- that is, playing games that are too similar (including but not limited to sequels) back-to-back, because I felt that would be a good "rule" to have. But then again, that rule is no law.

Also, you don't need to treat your games "fairly". There is no problem being biased towards selecting more recent purchases, for example.

I sometimes use a random game picker when I don't know what I want to play next

Can you suggest a good game picker?

[Crafter]

Step 1. Start a Youtube channel.
Step 2. Add games you think would make good let's play content into a category.
Step 3.
Step 4. Profit.

I use the SteamDB one, you don't even have to login. But I think your profile has to be public.

Click "Calculator", input your Steam user ID, it will show statistics about your profile, scroll down and there will already be a random game picked, you can keep clicking "I don't want to play this" to randomly select another game.

Go outside and pull weeds.

Do the laundry, wash the walls, clean your room, wash the windows, pickup trash around the yard, wash dishes, clean out the frig and most importantly - polish the brass!

NEVER tell Mom you're bored!
