What Backloggd is
Backloggd is a website for keeping a personal video game collection, recording play, and sharing ratings and reviews with friends. Users can log games they have played, are playing, or plan to play, with journals, play sessions, ownership tracking, and completion history. They can rate and review games, create lists with optional progress or rankings, and make those lists private or share them. Following other users brings their activity, ratings, and reviews into the site’s homepage and friend-specific areas. The Free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited game logging, lists, reviews, and journal tracking, with 14 days of recent activity. The Backer plan is $3 a month, billed $3 / month via Patreon, and adds all-time stats, a yearly recap, ad-free use, 60 days of recent activity, and early beta access. There is no mobile app, though the website is optimized for mobile screens. Game information comes from IGDB, and users cannot upload their own covers. Users may deactivate an account or request permanent deletion; deleted accounts cannot be restored.
