My recommendation is: Call of Juarez: Gunslinger
Because:
The game is good. I really enjoyed how the shooting part is handled (very pleasant) and how the story was told. Not sure how to explain, but I will try :D Moments when you are going the wrong way and eventually dies and the MC tells something like “I knew that it was a suicide to go this way, so I choose another one” before restarting from the checkpoint. Or when, depending on your choices, the story is told slightly in a different way (“I saw them first before they saw me” vs “They saw me first, before I saw them”). And the way the map transforms when certain goals achieved (“After I disarmed the dynamite, I noticed a ladder that I hadn’t noticed before”)… Overall experience is very cinematographic. The plot itself is very simple, yet interesting. The way the whole story is told through small connected “novellas” is really good find for developers. The abrupt change of scenery made the game fun (no need to go to the same locations just to make the game last longer). BUM! - you are in the city, BUM! - you are in the forests, BUM! - you are in the caves, BUM! - you ride the train. Very dynamic. 8/10

I salute you in your noble efforts. I can't enter because I'm blacklisted, but still, let me at least recommend A Plague Tale: Innocence. I loved that game

Well, that's valiant of you :) Here are some games that I absolutely loved:
Edit: or maybe it's a bit cruel to recommend long games. Let's just leave Vertigo and Röki then, or you'll never be done with this challenge :)

I checked your games that I also own and saw there are many you started but never finished, not sure if these can also be recommended but for now I leave it at games you didn't get an achievement for:
Good luck with beating 100 games, hope you will enjoy the experience :3

Try out playtracker, almost complete collection of all your libraries and you can random role quests to achieve for yourself, from friends and/or global. It's pretty cool imo.
I'm just getting started myself, and find it really helps with the decision making lol
Feel free to add me if you register!

I visited your library and filtered by games we both own and alas, nothing on there that I've played a lot and you haven't touched yet. :)
As someone who recently joined pagywosg and PoP, I commend your resolution and wish your journey all the best! And thank you for the upcoming GAs!

I made a big list of games you seem to have not beaten.
To keep it shorter I would say Remnant: From the Ashes, Dark Souls, or The Surge. Or Dead Space Trilogy.

Forager is a very addicting one. Also, might be a weird recommendation, but Serial Cleaner is a surprisingly fun/satisfying game to play.

Dude, you gotta play the Dead Space trilogy. 👍
You should finish both Spec Ops The Line and Far Cry 3 (and Blood Dragon) too. Great games!

Why not stop buying games until you actually clear your whole backlog, not just 100 games, given the SteamDB calculator shows you played 418 out of 869 games? So, 100 played would get you to 518 games, with 300+ still left untouched. And you would then add to that, again, making your backlog bigger, again. Go full-on try hard mode is what I say. At least that's what I did, but my list of unplayed games is also about 2x bigger than yours. Still, I feel we'll always have a "backlog" if we don't actually finish/play all the games we have before buying a new one.

My point is that this doesn't really address the issue, at least that's how I view this topic. Buying new games while you still have loads of unplayed games (300+ I mean, that's quite a lot) will just lead to a creation of a new "backlog" problem. Doesn't matter if you buy 1 or 100, you're still contributing to your backlog growing without a need to do so. I think that's why so many try to make something "fun" out of this chore, which it is, doing challenges and so on, so that the feeling of forcing yourself to do something you don't want is less prominent. I'm not fond of complicating a simple process — stop buying games and play what you already bought. I think it can also help you come to control that compulsive buying desire, given we're bombarded with sales 24/7 on PC and have these bundle websites that give us loads of games for cheap, so it's easy to just let yourself splurge without even realizing how much you bought in a short time frame. Plus, FOMO is also a strong enabler to spend on games you really don't need.
At least that's what being around 3 months "sober" has made me realize when it comes to this whole "backlog" talk, as I never really stopped and looked at it before. Surprisingly, I also wasn't even a little tempted to buy anything during the Summer Sale or one of Humbles Bundles. And I also don't even really subscribe to the whole backlog thing if I'm honest. I have tons of unplayed games, yet, I don't view them as my "backlog" nor do I view playing them as something I must do. It would make it a dull chore I would just look to finish as fast as possible. And I don't want that for my hobby.
As for why I stopped buying new stuff, it's not because of having a big backlog that I feel I must first clear before I'm worthy or allowed a new game, but because why do I need a new game, like really, why? Unless a game blows me away, and like the only thing on my mind is it 24/7, I don't see myself actually caring for or buying new games for the foreseeable future. Again, what's the point of buying games I might play, or not, when I already have games I can play and want to play, that are available to me anyway? And if I'm having fun with my games, I ain't missing out on anything, especially not on games I don't own.
This is my view on this, and I get OP is different. So, I wish him luck in his quest. Hopefully, his treat after the 100th game doesn't make him relapse and return to reckless spending, creating another "backlog" problem.

The Coma: Recut is a 4-5hour game. So it's like one evening for some people. I found it enjoyable enough. Sequel gives more substance to gameplay from what I remember(but I got stuck at some place and abadoned it lol)
Strider is like 10hours long,pretty enjoyable for what it is.
Resident Evil 7 took me like 7 or 8 hours but it's one of the best games in the series.
Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon is like 5hours. Call of Juarez:Gunslinger is similiar-both are short but super fun arcade shooters.
I dunno if you never played them before but Dead Space 1&2 are also stone cold classics that aren't long.
Anyway if I were to tackle your backlog I'd start like that-with "shorter" games that are mostly lightweight fun. Trying to play some strategy game that might offer 100 hours of content but is ultimately a 7/10 at best experience would kill my own mojo to go further into the backlog personally.

Today I decided I had enough and I am not buying or getting any new game for me until I beat 100 games which I collected over sales or bundles, cause I "may play them one day". We all know that is a lie we keep saying to ourselves as excuse when we just want buy more dustcatchers. So here I go with my crusader task and if I fail, I can be publicly ashamed and beaten on streets. You can use that thread as proof to gain reroll in case I win some your giveaway I haven't resistated to enter etc.

Please, recommend me a game I should play on my crusade! Doesn't matter a playtime or achievements, just what are some good games I should try.
