Your method/motivation to finish your ever growing backlog games?

What I found is that having a way to track my progress / save and browse screenshots / write out my thoughts (and frustrations) made it easier to process and much more fun too. I us Obsidian with their new Bases plugin to have my library of games (to be played/playing/finished or dnf) and like this, I can link as many photos or little text entries to the same game, as I want. It also makes it really easy to track how my enjoyment of the game progressed in each route (especially if some of the routes are required to to reach the LI/ending I want).

If I really hate something, I'd rather find a video of somebody doing the route I wanted to reach than suffer through hours upon hours of unwanted gameplay, though - my backlog is huge, anyway. And it's a hobby meant to be enjoyed!

I think it's really difficult to completely get through your backlog of games. I've already given up on trying to do that.
I just choose the game I want to play the most at that moment and keep playing it until I finish it. Once I start a game, I try to launch it and make some progress, even if I only have a little time to play, so I can eventually make it to the end.
If a game isn't really my cup of tea, I often end up rushing through the routes of characters I don't particularly care about.
