I'm the same age as you and I started to feel this way last year. I used to buy every game I could for every platform but due to work I just can't commit that much time to so many games anymore. However, what I have done is decided that I will only buy game if I'm certain I will enjoy it (via the help of our Giantbomb friends) and won't buy any other games until I'm done with it.
If a 50hr game takes me 2 months to complete, then so be it. At that point I will look back to see if I've missed any games that interest me, pick it up cheaper than launch price and then benefit from the updates, etc.
I bought CoD last year and enjoyed it a lot, but I have no interest what so ever in spending any more money on Battle Passes, etc. Once I feel like I've done with a game I just move on.
Good luck with your back log conquest! As there is nothing new out at the moment I've also started looking back at what I have yet to play that I've bought. Just played through Man of Medan. On to the next one now......
