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.

    on this list, I’ve beaten three, played three (all very briefly), and own two unplayed. Not too bad, all things considered.

    (on Final Fantasy IV)

    I downloaded this on my phone so I could play it during breaks at work, then spent most of my breaks scrolling social media. This is a “me” problem.

    yea

    (on Sonic Adventure 2)

    I think part of me thought that just by downloading this game, I could just make it 2001 again. It didn’t work. Seeing this game in my library fills me with angst.

    lea-sad

    (on Mirror’s Edge)

    Bought it, then remembered I had watched my roommate play through the entire game in 2009. I’m sure it’s a lot more fun to play it yourself, but I can live with that for now.

    Literally me, I watched my friend beat this when it came out and have thus had zero impetus to play it myself. Cool art style though
