Backloggd's Top 250

To be eligible for this list, a game must:
-Have 1,000+ plays.
-Not be DLC, an expansion, a collection, or a chapter.
-Be the most played version of the game it's representing. In the case where an alternate version* of a game has more plays than the original version, the original version is listed as a note.
*I use Glitchwave to determine what should be considered an alternate version of a preexisting game, since to my knowledge it has the most comprehensive version combining out of any game database.

I still think this needs FFXIV

Shouldn't Persona 5 Royal be on here? Since Persona 3 Fes and Persona 4 golden are on here and they're both expanded version of their game just like Royal for Persona 5. Other than that great list, I love checking this list every Thursday to see what's been removed or added.

Alena_03: I don't disagree that it deserves to be on here, but I'm not going to break the "no expansions" rule to include it, sorry.

Ctfgaming: Persona 3 FES and 4 Golden are the most played versions of 3 and 4 on this site. Royal currently has less plays than base P5, if that ever changes then I'll replace it.

That makes sense, I'm actually surprised the original has more. though I think Royal will pass the original sooner than later considering it just came out on Xbox/Switch/PC. Thanks for answering my question.

Hi-Fi Rush has surpassed 1k plays, so it's eligible now

1 year ago

Yep, it'll be added on Thursday along with The Great Ace Attorney 2 and Citizen Sleeper. Thanks for the heads up.
I usually add games that hit 1,000 plays to this list to keep track in between updates, so feel free to yell at me if you see anything that's missing from there.
