And so it sits there, rotting, hoping one day you remember it long enough to get past the first act. Those are the stories <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/3356660\/Game_Quest_The_Backlog_Battler\/\" target=\"_blank\">Game Quest: The Backlog Battler<\/a> hopes to rub in your face. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a goofy horde battler by developer Nic Taylor where you literally fight your backlog. They&#8217;re represented by sliding floppy disks and various stats affect their behavior and abilities\u2014Steam games you&#8217;ve barely played (up to 2 hours) are your enemies, and the more you paid for them, the more damage they do. If they have a high Metacritic score, they can fly, and you&#8217;ll need to swat them all to death with a keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll have help, though, as the games you play the most will back you up. Given that my most played games on Steam are, by a huge margin, Team Fortress 2 and Dota 2, I assume I&#8217;m in for some superlatively toxic teammates. Fellow PC Gamer weekend warrior Ted Litchfield would be blessed by Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3 and cursed by Destiny 2 in equal measure.<\/p>\n<p>The game looks cute and clever, and it seems the most fun awaits in fighting the backlogs of your friends and shaming them for their life decisions. &#8216;You played Planescape: Torment for all of 36 minutes but have 400 hours in Spore? What are you even doing in there?&#8217; If I can make a suggestion, I think the game should cook up a unique punishment for my own worst gaming habit: getting past the halfway point of a game, putting it down for a few weeks, and then returning with so little memory of what came before that I feel compelled to start over.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no release date for Game Quest yet, but you can wishlist it <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/3356660\/Game_Quest_The_Backlog_Battler\/\" target=\"_blank\">on Steam<\/a>. I can&#8217;t help but wonder how many players will grab this very game for their Steam libraries and never play it, knowing they&#8217;ll get to it eventually.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"bd42daab-108d-46c7-bf2b-63361d989a45\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/theres-a-game-coming-out-this-year-where-you-fight-your-steam-backlog-and-its-more-dangerous-the-more-youve-spent.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"bd42daab-108d-46c7-bf2b-63361d989a45\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/action\/theres-a-game-coming-out-this-year-where-you-fight-your-steam-backlog-and-its-more-dangerous-the-more-youve-spent\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;d wager most PC gamers are grappling with a backlog\u2014the only thing that truly divides us is whether it&#8217;s a source of pride or filthy shame.
