Do you have games in your library that you never played? I certainly do! In Steam you can create Dynamic Collection that lists Unplayed games. For me its 1248/1356 unplayed Games. Off course it can be any other platform or service too; this discussion is not limited to Steam. This thread is a reminder to us and everyone else to play these games. And actually, no. It’s just to talk about gaming stuff, that’s all. What do you think which game you own and never played would make others say “wtf, why not”?

  • Ori and the Blind Forest: This game looks and sound beautiful.
  • Persona 5 Royal: Everytime I want to play this game, the school theme turns me away.
  • Subnautica: A friend recommend me years this game. Legends say, he still does.
  • Slay the Spire: I have no excuse for this.
  • Hades: I like Roguelikes. My life need more Roguelikes.
  • Control: Such an interesting game. I have no idea about the story and mechanics, it looks interesting.
  • Disco Elysium: A detective roleplay with a lot narrative and freedom. I think.
  • Prey: Got interested into the game because some alien style thing going on. Game mechanics sounds very interesting.
  • Talos Principle 2: Not sure what awaits me. I expect Portal like gameplay, but without Portals.

I am ashamed of myself. But I really have a hard time finding time to play all of them.

(BTW the attached screenshot is supposed to be blurry, that’s not a bug, it’s a feature. And I try to upload a JPEG-XL image for the first time.)

(Edit: Just some typos corrected. Nothing to see here.)

    Almost all of these I think were probably in a bundle at some point and not really intentional purchases, but here we go

    Amnesia (both A Machine for Pigs and The Dark Descent, but I’m not into horror games)
    Bioshock 2 (barely played 1, it went into the backlog and never made it out)
    Dishonored
    Fallout 3
    GTA III / San Andreas / Vice City
    Half Life / Half Life 2
    Ori and the Will of the Wisps (got turned off by the intro/tutorial of The Blind Forest, never finished it, so never played WotW)
    Saints Row 3 / 4
    Tomb Raider (2013)
    Wolfenstein The New Order / The Old Blood / Youngblood

    Plenty more on Playstation I’m sure, but no convenient way to look that up afaik

      Out of these I have played Tomb Raider (2013), which was fun (if a bit gory) and Dishonored, which is one of my favorite games ever (and its sequel is even better). I also have The New Order and The Old Blood in my backlog, they seem fun so I intend to play them eventually and I own Bioshock 2 but having played the original I don’t feel the need to return to Rapture.

        I also played Tomb Raider (2013), and even its sequel. Finished both and started even the third game! liked the first game, because it was surprisingly more fun than expected. As for Dishonored, do you think ignoring the first game would miss me much? I only purchased the second one someday, somewhere deep on discount, with the hope of one day starting it up.

          No, you can totally enjoy the second game without having played the original one first. I would obviously recommend you to play both but the sequel is great on its own.

            So its not a direct continuation then? With games like Breath of the Wilds to Tears of the Kingdom is, or like Mass Effect 1 to 2 they are great on their own, but the general advice is to play the first game first. Maybe its more loosely connected like the Resident Evil series?

      I have most of them in my library too. Humble Bundle early days were amazing, and it kick started this mindless buying habit after I stopped using Humble. Just as the other commenter, out of these games Tomb Raider (2013) is the only one I completed. Man you remembered me, Dishonored and Half-Life 2 are also hot ones. Oh another pair I totally forgot in my above list, with very high priority:

      • Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2

      I have the original versions that are delisted from Steam. Thought of purchasing the Remasters, but those require an additional online account and launcher and have additional DRM; all those crap are not in the original games, so I won’t even purchase the Remaster Collection for 4 Euros!
