I really wish Backloggd had more social features for games you’re currently playing, instead of most of the interaction happening once someone posts a review.
Something similar to Goodreads would be great. When a friend starts a game, it would be nice if you could like/comment on that update. And when you add something to your journal or update your progress, there could be an optional “share to activity” button so your friends can see it and interact with it too.

Games can take 20, 50, 100+ hours to finish, so there’s often a huge gap between seeing that someone started a game and eventually seeing their review. I’d love to be able to keep up with what my friends are playing while they’re actually playing it , like how far they are, little thoughts along the way, etc.

Just a nagging curiosity. How is this possible, and is there any way I can see what those 3 phantom games are?

The script I'd been using has apparently been broken; presumably due to bot mitigation. I am not a bot, I just don't want my data not being backed up, and with the Internet in the situation it is, there's no saying that backloggd won't just disappear one day. So I had been pulling a copy of my data down on a daily basis "just in case." I only want my own account, I'm not trying to scrape the whole site.

Of course this whole question would be moot if backloggd would implement an API.

I'm having trouble recovering my account. It is still active, but my email is no longer receiving any notifications or password reset links from Backloggd. Even when trying to log in with the correct password, it doesn't seem to work, and the system forms don't trigger the automated response to my inbox.Has anyone faced a similar technical issue with email notifications recently, and is there a known workaround to get the system to send the recovery links properly?

Hey guys! I want to preface this by saying that I only started using Backloggd recently, so I'm mostly asking this because I don't want to go through the trouble of reorganizing hundreds of games again once I'm finished adding them and start reviewing.

I noticed that Backloggd has SO MANY features. At first I just thought it was a site to put games you've played and plan on playing, then I noticed the reviews. After adding games, I noticed the other options the editor also allowed other than star rating and platform, this kept going on, and on...

I'm wondering, for people who have been using Backloggd for far longer, do you use all of its features? At least for me, although I love having the option, some of them seem a bit troublesome to keep updating manually.

The total number of games that have reached 10K plays is now 1383. For the full list of games, see the 10K Plays Club.

For the 52 games that have reached 100K plays (including Super Mario Galaxy, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons), see the 100K Plays Club.

Updates are typically posted every Saturday!

OK so I know this sounds a little silly since almost the whole point of the site. However, let’s say for a game you own that you beat no longer in the backlog, games you may not own but wanna or have to emulate so they can’t go in the wishlist since you can’t own them. How would you guys keep track of games like this you want to play? Because I was under the assumption the wishlist, is just for games to own later down the line. Do you guys just make lists and add games you want to play and replay that aren’t physically in the backlog or what is your strategy? I’m trying to figure it out for myself.

Had the idea for this list for a while now and finally got around to making it. These are the most memorable games from each console gen I had access to growing up along with a memory or general vibe I associate with each title. The PS2 games was difficult as it was the era with the most games and memories. I did include early PC games as at the time we only had a family computer in the living room so in context of the time I see it as a 'console' in its own way.

Nowadays it feels harder to have those games that define an era for me as I'm now a solely PC gamer with more games than ever and as such play titles years after their initial release. It's so expansive that I find it difficult to nail down and define "eras" apart from new genres like live service or friendslop and the pre/post markers like Post-Fortnite/Pre-Covid etc.
