I don't like the term "retired," it should really be split into two: trashed and on hold.

I personally group my library by my desire to play:

  • probably never - essentially trash
  • replay - games I enjoyed and intend to revisit
  • done - games I enjoyed and have no intent to revisit

So for me, "retired" could be any of those three. I don't always "finish" games (credits roll, 100% complete, etc), so the label doesn't really say much about the quality of the game or whether people enjoyed it, just that they decided to set it aside for whatever reason.

Lol, Forza at #3 two months after release. It hurts. They truly botched the release.

I wonder how Starfield didn't make it to that list. Maybe it's #11?

Atomic Heart was the only game I played on this list this year. I did finish it though, no thanks to the absurd QTE in the final boss battle
