Backloggd
What it is
Backloggd is a web-based service for keeping a personal video game collection and sharing ratings and reviews with friends. You can log games you have played, are playing, or hope to play, and track ownership, play sessions, and journal entries. Rate and review games, browse each game's average user rating, and build lists that can be private or shared. Lists can also include progress or rankings. Following people brings their activity, ratings, and reviews into your homepage and friend-specific sections. The Free plan is free 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; linking a Patreon account provides all-time stats, a yearly recap, an ad-free experience, 60 days of recent activity, and early beta access. Backloggd has no mobile app, though its website is optimized for mobile screens. Game information comes from IGDB, and users cannot upload their own covers.
