PS2 Backlog Committee

I started up Max : The Curse of Brotherhood which I pulled from my Steam backlog. It's an interesting puzzle platformer made in 2014 about a boy who wishes his little brother away and then must retrieve him after his wish comes true. Its central mechanic so far is a magic pen that can both erase ob...

How do you like Ys IX so far? It's a bit of a slow starter, but once you get your first party member it really opens up. The combat becomes much more interesting, since different enemy types are weak to different types of attacks (aka different party members) and you can swap members on the fly. Bu...

I’ve been playing PGA Tour 2K21, and I was enjoying it enough to get PGA Tour 2K23 which I figured would be even better since it’s the next game in the series. I was wrong. It’s basically PGA Tour 2K21.5. The additions that it offers are minimal at best, and it plays worse than 2K21. In fact, I thin...

Sooooo...I don't hate Valhalla? Especially after seeing what some of the later combat offers after watching a beginner's guide (because have you seen that terrifying skill tree? Yikes). It's story is non-existent from what I can tell after 3 hours (haven't hit the title splash screen yet...) but it...

I gave up trying to get into Valhalla - that game is the definition of generic. Feels like they loaded up the AC Open World...

So I really, really tried to like Fenyx Rising but it doesn't look like it is going to land with me. I don't like the upgrade paths, it feels weird in combat and platforming (can't put my finger on what doesn't jive exactly), I don't know how this script and tone got approved to be in the same game...

Played: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Mass Effect, Mass Effect: Andromeda Finished: Nothing Playing: Mass Effect Added: Nothing After playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey for 30 hours, I quit playing it. I finished it twice two years ago, and it was feeling too familiar. It’s probably my favorite game, but...
