Well. The nature of my backlog is like I wait for games to come down in price and by the time I get to them they're 10 years old haha.

I also have a habit of playing through the entire series before playing the newest one. I'm currently playing Legend of Heroes: A Tear of Vermillion which is the 4th game from Japan in that series but the 2nd to be released in US, SO I'm playing through it even though I don't like it and will beat the next two games to finally play Trails in the Sky which is the one I really probably should have started with.

I do that with all my games, like Doom Eternal looks cool and so does the upcoming Dark Ages, but I went back and played Doom 1 & 2. 64, then the updated remaster of Doom 1 & 2 when that came out, and now I'm working on Doom 3. I got one more whole Doom game before I even get to Eternal.
