Exactly two years ago, I faced every gamer's final boss: my backlog. I'm guilty of the sin of buying games because they're on sale and never installing them. But after spending 25 hours playing Diablo meets Vampire Survivors in Halls of Torment, I wanted to give some of my forgotten games a chance to see the light of my Steam Deck.
This wasn’t about backlog guilt. I just thought past-me was smart enough to know what I’d like to play, so surely there was something fun in there. So I went to the darkest corners of my Steam library and installed games I didn’t even know existed. Bundle fillers, freebies, or simply titles I had no idea why or how they ended up there. They got bonus points if I looked at them and said, “Meh, I don’t think I’ll like this.”
