- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

You're insane...for not using a spreadsheet! This thing can look so much more tidy.
IDK how spreadsheets work :( (thought I do plan to use this list to learn)
I recommend it, this would be a great opportunity to learn. It shouldn't be too bad, you have a pretty basic document so you won't need to use any complicated features. I would use it just to line things up so you can scan your list easier.
I'm 45 y/o with a job, a house and two teenager kids. I can probably count the games I finished on one hand.
(Plot twist: born with absurdly high number of fingers)
Yea, bruh…..
You entered everything manually?
More or less... I utilized formating tools and the format painter a good amount....but yes even the check boxes are just text
I have an Obsidian Kanban Board with the games that I'm currently playing, games that I dropped, games that I've to play, that I completed and games that I'm not planning to stop soon
I've seen Obsidian and have been meaning to give it a shot!
I highly recommend, pretty useful and customizable.
I don't, but now I want one!!
You're properly insane. I keep this list by memory and those I forget, I get to play again. Much more fun. Embrace the chaos!

How would you define "beating" Animal Crossing?
-
Quite a few older games not present. Ocarina of Time and Metroid Prime are notable omissions.
-
Bump Spiritfarer up in your priority order.
- Idk I haven't gotten that far
- I haven't added them yet, I just got a steam deck so I'm working on getting them
- Noted
I keep a collection on Steam of the games I’ve beat and just add them into the collection as I go. Going back through prev pre-Steam pc/console games I’ve beat probably wouldn’t take that long to remember I guess, but I don’t know where I’d store it or who else would care in my life.
I have various lists here and there, like one for everything I have on Steam, one for Epic, one for GOG, another for games I'm playing through GamePass.
Don't even get me started with the physical binders I have dedicated to achievement hunting, maps, and notes. So, I get it.
not insane, I've never took the time personally but this is inspiring for sure
Nice. What are you using? And how far back did you go in games beaten?
I've thought about having an Excel sheet for it. I'm currently just categorizing my steam library to Complete, Pending, unplayed.
I'm using LibreOffice but word would work just as well. I thought about Excel/the LibreOffice equivalent but I'm just not familiar with it enough to be useful with it.
And this is generally every game/franchise I own/want to own so it goes as far back as I can make it go back. I also plan to add a LOT of games via emulation that I used to play when I was younger.
I see you’re missing Deus Ex: Human Revolution on your list.
Haha thanks I hadn't gotten to that series at all yet. I'll add it though thanks again!
You’re welcome!
There is a sequel to the original called Deus Ex: Invisible War, but it is generally not spoken of.
I appreciate that, I enjoy playing through an entire franchise or at least giving each game a chance even if they're forgotten/subpar
