Time to beat I have to admit that I’m surprised that even mobile games have seen sales go down this year. I guess what goes up must come down, and that a lot of the people playing games during lockdown haven’t stuck around. Clearly there’s not been much to excite anyone in the last three or four months but there’s a pretty obvious silver lining to all this: my backlog has never been shorter!

Ever since I beat Elden Ring I’ve basically bought and plaid nothing new, only what I already own. The oldest game I beat was Ōkami (started it a bunch of times but never beat it) and the newest was the God Of War reboot (wanted to get ready for Ragnarök, obviously).

Overall, I think I’ve beaten six games this year and probably around 20 since the pandemic started. Now that my backlog is thinning out (Batman: Arkham Knight is next – I kept putting it off, given all the complaints about it) I feel I’m getting ready for the new releases to start. Although I’m sure I’ll get back to the old problem very quickly.

This is why I don’t subscribe to PS Plus Premium, by the way. I don’t need my backlog to suddenly increase by hundreds of games when I know I’ll never get round to any of them.Slaven
