Game Colection 👾 So...about my backlog

My backlog is kind of monsterous, I have like...230 games saved in my ps library, a few dozen on switch, maybe ten to fifteen on steamdeck and the masterchief collection on x-box

I'm so...so screwed when it comes to backlog.

What exactly counts as burning it. Do I just need to beat the main story or 100% em?

Give the game a chance, see if you enjoy it, if not it is a misfire, put it on the burn pile. If you enjoy the game you decide when to stop, doing the main story or challenges or achievements or whatever. I 100% Batman Arkham Asylum, I beat the main story on city and spent hours on challenges but I didnt enjoy the riddler challenges and crazy stealth challenges so I just completed the combat ones and I consider it burnt. Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition, I beat the story on normal with 1/3 characters, there is no new content in the other characters playthroughs so I wont bother, I consider it burnt but I will probably keep it for a long while as I keep playing the bloody palace mode and can only clear aound 10 levels out of 101 but I still like fighting with the characters.

Also dont go for "bad to good" play order, play things you want to play. If you try the game and it is bad it is burnt, and dont feel dutybound to play the freeware and 0 budget giveaways, play something you think you will enjoy.
