Exactly two years ago I met with the last boss of each player: My Backlog. I am guilty of the sin of buying games because they are on sale and never install them. But after spending 25 hours of game Diablo meets Survivors of vampires IN Anguish hallsI wanted to give some of my forgotten games a chance to see the featherlight of my steam deck.
It wasn’t about a sense of a sense of arrears. I just thought that Past-me was intelligent enough to know what to play, so there was definitely something frigid there. So I went to the darkest corners of my Steam library and installed games that I didn’t even know about. Baming fillers, freebies or simply titles I had no idea why and how they ended. They got extra points if I looked at them and said: “Meh, I don’t think I would like it.”
But I was lucky, and Past-me was wise and had good taste in games. Speaking of these titles, I will also check the history of the Steam library to remember how they got there.
Radio fixed
How do I have: SEGA 2016 campaign “Make war not love” gift. Engadget It helped me remember.
When I got it: February 17, 2016
I want to be the owner Radio fixed Steam is like having the subject of a collector. It was part of Great Stega Purge from December 2024, when the company removed 62 games from the store.
I have never had dreams or console where Radio fixed It was first released, so the game was not caused by nostalgia. It put me in the fact that I loved Pro skater tony hawk Growing up the series, so I thought that in this game there would be something similar to me with roller skates.
This is not exactly “Gta meets Tony Hawk,“But he has a vandalism skill, street gangs and cartoon violence.
Your only mission is graffiti different places at each stage when the authority is evaded, which can be from officers with sticks to military tanks. You have a surprisingly solid body that can somehow take fire from a machine gun and explosives.
If you are easily frustrated by venerable games with awkward control elements, skip it. It gets annoying. Otherwise, the gameplay, art and soundtrack (most of them Hideki Naganuma) They are so cult that you probably won’t find something like that. All this came back to life Rush cyberfunk bombs in 2023, which sits in my backlog.
In fact, my favorite part is three times, which appears every time you run the game. He basically says: “Children, please, do not wander around the local bakery.”
The Walking Dead Season 1 (Telltale Series)
How do I have it : Humble backdle giveaway.
When I got it: September 7, 2017
Steam says I got the key to this game with “Retail” in 2017. It turns out that he comes from a modest presentation of the package in 2017, the year in which everything I did on the site is Hoard Free Games (some I still didn’t play).
I have never watched The Walking Dead. I do not think that the zombie theme is fascinating, and I am not a fan of narrative games or I do not care about Telltale titles. So, in my opinion, it made this game perfect to try.
I liked it. Difficult choices, character development and history combine well. Being to those who made by life situations or death in a post -apocalyptic world was scratchy and thinking “what would happen if I chose something else?” He made him addictive. I also like how the game compares your choices with other players at the end of each chapter.
Still, The Walking Dead It wasn’t fun enough to make me want to play a full story. After 17 hours of gameplay, I was skeptical that the next three seasons of the “survival of the Zombie Apocalypse” would remain fascinating, so I never finished the series and I don’t plan.
What is left with Edith Finch
How do I have: I bought it on sale from Euro truck simulator 2.
When I got it: December 28, 2017
Weak Edith Finch. She never had a chance against Euro truck simulator 2in which I played for a solid 60 hours. Driving trucks were a great dispersion of years later during the Covid lock. But it’s not about you ETS2.
What is left with Edith Finch It is a sensitive narrative game about the history of the cursed family and their losses. It didn’t look too thrilling to teach me a little, an emotional guy afraid of death. Maybe that’s why I avoided it above all. But this independent game was released in the same year in which I bought it, 2017, to great praise. I was obsessed with other India since 2015, so I had to have it in the Steam library.
It turns out that at the beginning of 2025, when I finally played it, it was still outstanding. His gameplay is effortless and uncomplicated, but he is not a monotonous walking simulator. You experience memories of the Edith family from each of their points of view, which adds a powerful layer of empathy and connection. I recommend trying it, even if you don’t like narrative games.
These three surprising titles made me look at my arrears with confidence instead of guilt. Maybe I knew what I was doing in the past, and I just saved fun for the future.
I recommend browsing your backlog this year and playing one of the most abandoned games. You can have much more fun than you expect.
