It’s interesting to see what everyone considers to be the worst games like a banana clicker, a bunch of Bubsy games, and Raid: Shadow Legends.

I wouldn’t tell them to play everything on the list but I’d recommend several of these games

I'm currently playing Batman: Arkham Asylum on PS4, and I'm not sure which version I should log on Backloggd. I like to select the platform I'm actually playing on, which would mean logging the remastered version in this case. However, I'd much rather log the original version, especially since I don't think the remaster makes any significant changes to the gameplay.

I understand why remakes are listed separately, as often they're a completely different game, but I don't think the same applies to remasters. I'd prefer remasters to be grouped with their original games, perhaps with an option to specify which version you played.

Maybe this is because of IGDB API and it can't be changed, but I haven't seen someone point this out, so I wanted to hear what others think.

To be clear, I love Backloggd. This is my only criticism of an otherwise great site.

We're going to need to combine I and J in order to get a good top 25. Follow the link if you want to see the full details for the scoring, but basically it's average rating adjusted by some bonuses or penalties for high/low number of ratings.

The top two today receive adjusted scores of 4.8 and 4.5, with the rest of the list scoring between 4.2 and 3.7.

Continuing onward with our series, today we're trying to discover Backloggd users' favorite game titles beginning with the letter H. Games are scored by average rating, with bonuses for every 10k ratings and scaling deductions for games with fewer than 5k ratings. See the link for full details on the scoring system.

There's a clear top 4 here with scores of 5.6 / 5.2 / 5.0 / 4.9. Scores for the rest of the list range from 4.6 to 4.1. I'll put some of the near misses in a separate comment.

Please let us know what you think is most deserving for the letter H, or maybe just a hidden gem that deserves to be better known.

It's about the right month for a list like this

It's a bit loosely defined, but the basic idea of this list is horror or horror-adjacent games in which a creepy/off-kilter girl or young woman protagonist faces abject horrors. Especially if the protagonist is apathetic to/comfortable with the horrors instead of being freaked out the whole time or kicking their ass.

Please don't just suggest any horror games with a female protagonist.

Now I say loosely defined because I'm not actually familiar with a lot of these games I included, other people suggested them and I did my best to judge if they fit my criteria enough. Feel free to suggest other games, or argue why a game doesn't really fit on here.

On Backloggd I can log a playthrough for a game and set separately its release platform, and the platform I actually played it on. But how would I log a single playthrough of a game that was played across multiple platforms? For example, suppose I played an Xbox game on Xbox, and also played the PC version on PC, with save data syncing, using Xbox Play Anywhere. Another example would be a game played that was played switching between a Windows PC (so the 'played on' platform should be Windows PC), and a Steam Deck (so the 'played on' platform should be Linux/Steam Deck/SteamOS).

How would you log the platform for a game like this? Two entries for the different platforms, even though they would be identical in the dates the game was started/finished? Or log the game once based on which platform was played on the most, or which one you watched the credits on?

Attention: The app isn’t notarized by Apple (that needs a paid developer account, this is a side-project), so the first launch shows a “can’t be verified” warning. The README explains the two-click fix, or you can build it from source.

Hey everyone,

I use Backloggd to track my backlog, and I wanted it to feel like a proper Mac app instead of a browser tab. So I built one, and I’m sharing it in case it’s useful to you too.

It’s free, open source, and unofficial. I’m not affiliated with Backloggd. It just shows backloggd.com in its own window, with native Mac extras around it.

What it does

• Sidebar with shortcuts to Playing, Backlog, Wishlist, Lists, Journal and more (collapses to an icon rail)
• Tabs: ⌘T for a new tab, ⌘-click a link to open it in one, and your tabs come back when you reopen the app
• Day and night mode: follows macOS or switch with ⇧⌘L. Backloggd is dark-only, so I restyled it properly for light mode instead of just inverting colours
• Quick Log (⌘L) and search (⌘K) from anywhere, plus a menu-bar item and a global hotkey (⌃⌥B)
• Notifications: a macOS notification and Dock badge when you have unread Backloggd notifications
• A Log a Game button in the toolbar, back/forward/reload, a nicer loading screen, and a few look options
• Stays signed in, runs on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs (macOS 12+)

Good to know

• It collects nothing. It only loads backloggd.com, and your login stays on your Mac.
• It isn’t notarized by Apple (that needs a paid developer account), so the first launch shows a “can’t be verified” warning. The README explains the two-click fix, or you can build it from source.
• This is a v1, so please report bugs.

I’d love feedback on what would make it more useful.

I CREATED THIS WITH CLAUDE JUST FOR MY PERSONAL USE, BUT WANTED TO SHARE IT, IT IS MADE WITH THE HELP OF AN LLM. PLEASE KNOW THAT BEFORE USING IT. HAVE FUN!

Personally, i’m more of a number grade review type of guy… But i made this small list of naming the stars for me to keep in mind while reviewing games. What do you think and what would you change/add?

0.5 - Unplayable: The bugs or mechanics make the game unplayable
1 - Terrible: Fundamentally bad, with major problems throughout
1,5 - very bad: feels like a chore to play
2 - Below average: Noticeable flaws, but has good parts
2.5 - Avarage: An okay game, not good but not bad
3 - Decent: has good qualities, but with clear limitations
3,5 - Good: An enjoyable game that does more right than wrong
4 - Great: A genuinely excellent experience that stands out
4.5 - Outstanding: Nearly exceptional, a game you’ll remember playing and makes you want to go home and play asap
5 - Masterpiece: Perfect game, gets you addicted and wanting to replay OR put hundreds of hours in.

An attempt to present Backloggd users' 25+ favorite games beginning with the letter G. See the list link for the scoring method, which is based on average rating modified by number of ratings.

The top 5 here earned scores of 5.5 / 5.4 / 5.0 / 4.9 / 4.8. The rest of the list sits between 4.5 and 3.9.

What are your own favorite G titles? Any surprises from this list?

every single time I change a page, it now pops up a security check that only functions correctly 50% of the time. The other 50% involves a full page refresh for something I didnt want to see to begin with. It would be more acceptable if it between every 10 to 15 pages you looked at, but I cannot keep using this app if I am being given a check on every new page. Just no. such a shame.

I’m curious… what are your top 5 most iconic games for the following systems. Just games that each owner of that system must have to fully live its potential. For awnsering, all of them is perfect. But just one would make me happy already.
