Video game collection and progress tracker in one
No time right now?
The basic idea behind many games is the same: It’s about discovering new things and collecting objects. The whole thing is enriched by statistics. This is exactly the concept that Backloggd follows – as a place where all games can flow together.
What as Hobby project of a single developer started, is now used by over 5,000 gamers. The website Backloggd sees itself as a place where everyone can keep their personal video game collection. In principle, backloggd is based on letterboxd.
Letterboxd is a social networking service that, since its launch in 2011, has focused on bringing people together who want to chat about movies. Letterboxd users have the opportunity to collect the films they have seen, write reviews, create lists and discuss them with other film enthusiasts. Backloggd also follows this approach. There are now over 615,000 games in the database, almost half of which have been given a rating. There are also over 20,000 reviews that have been published for the individual games.

Detailed information and community character
Games from all common platforms can be found on Backloggd, which registered users add to their own journal. With various filters it is possible to keep your own collection clear. It is particularly interesting that your own scores can be logged. The journal consists of two sections, the log and the playthroughs. In the log you can mark which games have already been played, which are currently being played and what may still be on the wish list for the future.
Above all, the function that other users can be followed provides a more social media character. The players can easily see the activities of their friends and are notified when reviews are published or ratings are given. This is also where the playthroughs get interesting. These are primarily used to record the daily game progress in detail.
With this platform, Backloggd pursues the goal of combining the areas “Discover”, “Collect” and “Analyze” and offering users added value in addition to the gaming experience itself.
