I use How Long To Beat to track my games and backlog across a bunch of platforms.
They have a website and a mobile app.
Edit: I thought they had a mobile app but I cannot for the life of me find it anymore!

Also been trying to set up Minecraft with the Legacy4J pack and Midnight Controls to relive my nostalgia for Legacy Minecraft.
Basic answer but I've gotten back into Powerwash Simulator recently. Perfect game to play on the Deck whilst listening to podcasts at the end of the day.
Legacy Minecraft has such a charm to it that modern versions fail to capture imo
-
Minecraft - Was my absolute childhood and I met so many good friends and learnt a lot throughout my time playing the game.
-
Skate 2 - The controls are perfect, the vibe is amazing, it's just one of my overall favourites.
-
GTA V - The first R rated game I played. Both this game and Fallout 3 were massive inspirations for me focusing on 3D environments as a Game Dev student.
Honourable mention to Little Big Planet and Rollercoaster Tycoon Deluxe; both of which absolutely shaped my childhood
Here are some that I have found useful:

- Retro Achievements - Achievements for retro games
Game art:
- SteamGridDB - Game art banners etc. to personalise your Steam library
- Steam Game Covers - Box Art for Steam games
Compatability
- Does It Play? - Lets you know if a game plays out of box or requires extra downloads or codes
- Proton DB - Compatibility ratings and advice for gaming on Linux
Game Deals:
- Fanatical - Can often find games cheaper here
- Humble Bundle - Does game bundles with proceeds going to charity, often has good games in the bundles.
- CeX - Can pick up second hand physical games for cheap here
- GOG - DRM free games
Can't believe I've never heard of Backloggd before, it seems cool!
