i got 46.

the criteria I used (which i won’t hold anyone else to, use your own criteria) was whether I played it for more than 2 hours (steam’s cutoff for returns, or at least it was as of the last time i returned a steam game). like I’ve technically played tekken and thps, but only when visiting other people’s houses as a kid, so can I really say I played them? at the same time there are games like yakuza 0 where I never got around to beating it because life stuff came up and I lost interest by the time i got free time again, but I put in like 30 hours so should I say I never played it?

Some stuff I only ever remember playing at a friend's house when I was younger. Somewhat surprised no flavor of Dynasty Warriors wasn't on the list. Half the reason I have an entry in any of this stuff is because emulation was how I was able to play games when I was in college and had no money so I just went wild with some older games.

Six, but Minecraft, Factorio and Dwarf Fortress have been keeping me going for at least the last 10 years, and I've played other games not on this (somewhat skewed) list.

100/100. I haven't played all of them a ton, like I played Saga Frontier on emulation for a few hours when I was backlogging the PS1 RPGs. I actually finish very few games, especially since most AAA stuff either ends the main plot 20% in or else the final third of the game is bloated with collectathons and BS to drag out the runtime a little longer. I like to try new things though, so I experiment a lot.

68 thanks to emulators

I got 43. Don't own any sort of console so a huge chunk of the ones I haven't played are console games.

49, but many more I've tried and bounced off of after a few hours.

Why is Warhammer on this list?

Warhammer (WFB) is not the same as Warhammer 40k, and there's only like 3 (4 if I'm generous) games in the setting. I don't think anyone really considers Mordheim or Vermintide to be big enough hits to be listed with the other stuff here, and TW:WH is already covered by the Total War entry.

Not a mega gamer though. I think that score is because this list covers such a length of time and some of the options have so many versions. Over the years I've tried most bigger game franchises at some point.
