How do you handle multiple games at once? I'm also trying to play most of my worthwhile games to at least finish the main storyline/quests.

I feel like I would forget about a game as soon as I start another game. then I have to restart the save because I forgot all the controls

I focus on one game at a time but it sometimes gets a little mind numbing playing the same game for nearly 100hours.. stardew valley I intended to finish everything possible but I got tired and moved on after about 80 hours. (I've completed what's considered the main story but was going to try complete everything after)

Currently finished

  • Stardew valley

Playing

  • Bully

Will play next (probably in this order)

  • Doom (2016)
  • the Witcher 3
  • shadow of mordor

I try to games that don't have overlapping mechanics: if I'm in the mood for a puzzle, I play Baba is You. If I want something more casual, I play Sonic Racing.

Sometimes I do forget games, but I don't mind if that happens. Some games just don't stick. I try to buy games only when on discount, so I don't feel bad if I stop playing it.

I usually complete games, but never to 100%. What attracts me to a game is not usually what's involved in getting to 100% (e.g. I like the Arkham series just for gliding and stealth, so I don't bother with the Riddler collectibles)
