Filtering Games by prerequisite playing

Help

What I’m trying to do

I want to make it so that I can filter games in my base by games that I want to play next, whilst not displaying games that require me to have beaten a different game first

Things I have tried

So far I have notes listing the games that need to be beaten first, and I want to have it so that if Obsidian sees that all games contained in that property have all been beaten, then it can be seen as play next but it doesn’t seem to allow you to filter by the properties of a note inside a note if that makes sense, happy to clarify better if I don’t make sense, very new to obsidian

Given game notes with list property prerequisite games and checkbox property beaten, like:

---
beaten: false
prerequisite games:
  - "[[game 2]]"
  - "[[game 3]]"
---

… try this property formula as an example:

[
["☑️ no prequisites", note["prerequisite games"].isEmpty()],
[["⛔ still need to beat", note["prerequisite games"].filter(file(value).properties.beaten != true)].flat(), note["prerequisite games"].filter(file(value).properties.beaten != true).length > 0],
["✅ prerequisites beaten", true]
].filter(value[1])[0][0]

Obsidian works really well for this. I use a similar setup to track mini-games, controls, and performance notes for games like Stickman Party. Keeping templates for modes, rules, and outcomes makes patterns easy to spot. I document a lot of this while working on content for stickmanpartymodapk.app, and Obsidian keeps everything organized nicely.

Relatedly, if the directionality of the property is flipped:

file.backlinks.filter(value.asFile().properties[“isGame?”].containsAny(“Y”)).filter(value.asFile().hasProperty(“then”)).map(value.asFile().properties[“then”].contains(file)).contains(true)

This produces a checkmark indicating whether or not the file is backlinked as the next step of some other game.
