PS2 Backlog Committee

Just catching up on these. Great write-ups on an insane variety of games/platforms.

Kind Words is a wild premise. It took me a minute to figure out those were messages to real people rather than AI or something.

Looks like we'll be in 4/5 territory real soon!

Looking at the images, I thought The Other Half would be a Journey-like. Instead, it's a twin-stick shooter about sexual assault?

I have to commend you for playing such a crazy array of games on so many platforms.

Thanks for the reminder that I need to pick up Letter Quest on my phone.

Played recently: Yakuza: Like a Dragon Finished: nothing Added to backlog: Gibbon: Beyond the Trees (I love gibbons, could watch them swing for hours), Windbound Current backlog: 35 I'm very much into Like a Dragon now. Such a fun game. It is crazy how they turned Yakuza into a JRPG so successfully.

Those first two seemed oddly appealing to me until I read your write-ups.

Great list! I've played too few games to even bother with rankings, but we have the same GOTY. So good. (My runner-up: Octopath Traveler II) I'll buy Tchia one of these days, assuming it doesn't come to PS+. Speaking of which, you just reminded me I now have access to Powerwash Simulator.

Works for me! Dishing out a bite here and a chunk there makes it more digestible.

Very interesting list. I'm surprised you finished 10 games.

The only one I've played is P4. It's been a while, but I feel like I spent as much time in dungeons as I did with the other stuff. Maybe I went through them more than I needed to for grinding or collecting/merging monsters?

Same. Then I realized Midnight Suns wasn't on there, that tipped me off.

Played recently: Yakuza: Like a Dragon Finished: nothing Added to backlog: nothing (yet... still eyeballing the PSN sale) Current backlog: 33 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! 2023 went out with maximum suckage... my whole family and I have been sick since before Christmas with all sorts of...
