A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I have added 2 Steam and 1 GOG game libraries to my HLTB account. Then I have categorized the games based on completion/pad controller usage etc.

Afterwards due to long backlog of games I have sorted the list by main story completion time from the shortest and began playing one by one. Of course not all are worthy/interesting enough to finish, but most are.

Having the list and the goal of going through these titles let me focus what I already have instead of grabbing another title, which will stay in library for the next months or years.

Also you wont have to worry about new releases, because you have already something to finish with certain goal in mind, will effortlessly wait until the price drops significantly with nice cut, all dlcs, packed in Limited/Definitive/GOTY edition.

I have for some time thought of categorizing my library with some sort of factor where I calculate quality per time spent, which I would base on dividing the steam score by the completion time. So short and good games would be on top of the queue, before long and good or short and middling, with long and middling at the bottom
