Guardians of the Galaxy became one of my favorite entries in the MCU with their theatrical debut back in 2014. It was just a fun time with an engaging style that incorporated down-on-their-luck heroes, an ‘80s soundtrack, and sci-fi roots. It always felt the most interesting of the MCU movies at the time, so when … Continue reading Guardians of the Galaxy | Backlog Review

Day of the Tentacle | Backlog Review
Double Fine and especially Tim Schafer have me in their grasp right now. After running through the Psychonauts games, I wanted to visit other work that this team has worked on, which led me Day of the Tentacle. This game has always been in my peripheral vision since I had an Xbox 360, but I … Continue reading Day of the Tentacle | Backlog Review
The Gunk Review | It Could Have Been so Much More
Nothing gets me like a good action-adventure platformer, especially one with a realized and beautiful world. So seeing The Gunk recently hyped up on social media, I needed to go out and try it. Luckily, it’s available on Game Pass, so I was able to snag it up easily. However, how does this tale of … Continue reading The Gunk Review | It Could Have Been so Much More
The Outer Worlds on Switch | Backlog Review
The moment that The Outer Worlds was announced, I was hooked. A sci-fi RPG where you explore different planets and space stations and run into cooky characters that may or may not try to get you to try some corporate fish in a can? It seems to combine No Man’s Sky with the Fallout series … Continue reading The Outer Worlds on Switch | Backlog Review
The Artful Escape | Backlog Review
There are times that I will download a game with the full intention of only grabbing all the achievements and turning it off again. I had every intention of The Artful Escape being a quick once-and-done achievement run but the game surprised me in more ways than one. It was a rock opera coming-of-age story … Continue reading The Artful Escape | Backlog Review
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard | Backlog Review
Resident Evil 6 left a sour taste in a lot of people’s mouths, and besides a few ports and handheld spin-offs, the series had been quiet for a long time. That is until Capcom announced the next iteration in the iconic series with Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. A Resident Evil they claimed was returning to … Continue reading Resident Evil 7: Biohazard | Backlog Review
Dishonored: The Death of the Outsider | Backlog Review
To finish out stealth month, I visit a game that I had no idea even existed, Dishonored: The Death of the Outsider. I had heard something along the lines that the Dishonored franchise had really fun DLC but I didn’t know the latest one was its own expansion. As you can imagine, I was pretty … Continue reading Dishonored: The Death of the Outsider | Backlog Review
Dishonored 2 | Backlog Review
If you asked me in 2013 if I liked Dishonored, I would have said, yeah, it was a lot of fun. It was the first game that I had played that made me think and scout out an area before making my decision to move in and take out my target. However, I soon forgot … Continue reading Dishonored 2 | Backlog Review
Doom Eternal | Backlog Review
The first time that I had ever played a Doom game was with the 2016 reboot, and I loved every moment of it. The fast-paced metal music combined with the glory kill mechanic and traditional run and gun gameplay of the franchise all lent themselves to a very cohesive experience. It left a strong impression … Continue reading Doom Eternal | Backlog Review
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order | Backlog Review
I have come to the conclusion in recent years that I have a love-hate relationship with the Star Wars franchise. It’s a series with some highs that even Cloud City can’t see and some lows that lie beneath even the Sarlacc’s pit. While the movies might be fairly split down the middle for me, I … Continue reading Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order | Backlog Review
