I'm going to post soon about some of the games I recently played, but I'm just going to post something quick about what has already worked on my new "To Play" List strategy for 2016 and what I'm already revising.
What is Working
I've already worked through 3 games and am finishing up a fourth. They are all the shorter games on my list (under 8 hours), and it is so encouraging to be working through these games and feeling like I'm checking games off my backlog. Instead of just being wrapped up in bigger games, I'm putting attention on the shorter games and actually getting through them, instead of them just being pushed down my list over and over. This is working!!
What I Changed
I just changed my lists to be 6 games instead of 10. I will now have only 4 games under 8 hours. This is because I want to be able to have more flexibility when I finish some games. There is no good reason to make myself complete a list of 9 games I pick out, rather than complete 5 and then get to build a new list (the last game on the list is the one over 20 hours that is allowed to carry over to the new list).
Also, if I'm being honest, Rise of the Tomb Raider is coming out on PC in a week, and I want to play that Day 1! :D
Here's my revised 1st To Play List:
Fakey's 1st 2016 "To Play" List
| . 999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 DoorsI've already gotten one ending, so I'm just trying to get the rest now. | |
| . The Beginner's Guide | |
| . Life Is StrangeI only have episode 5 left. | |
| . Light | |
| . Lumino CityI've been excited about this one since my wife and I played Lume several years ago, but I just never prioritized playing this game until now. | |
| . The Witcher 3: Wild HuntI love this game, but I just got sidetracked. So I want to get back to it, complete it, and then I'll probably put it down before going back to the DLC. |
