Every gamer knows what it's like to have too much of a good thing.

Chances are, if you've got a PC or laptop and a Stream account, you've got a massive swathe of games you haven't played (many of which were probably nabbed up during a Humble Bundle or Steam sale). Even then, consoles can have flash sales too, and many games that are a couple years old drop in price so much that they demand an impulsive purchase.

The problem is, there's only so much time in the day, and only so much that can feasibly be played. The number of unique, interesting games being made in 2016 is staggering.

How can you be expected to play everything that's great? It's impossible. Keeping on top of what's hot in the gaming world is a thankless task. By the time you've played through a masterpiece like Shovel Knight - enjoying all the secrets it has to offer - two more brilliant indie titles have dropped. And there's the more expensive mainstream titles...

Choice is good, yes, but my god is there a frustrating amount of it!
