PS2 Backlog Committee

Played recently: Axiom Verge 2 Finished: nothing Added to backlog: nothing Current backlog: 35 I've played a whole lot of AV2. What a great game. Really impressive how it does the Metroivania thing, doling out new powers/systems that give you access to new areas. I'd guess I'm in the final quarter o...

Morrowind has already got its hooks in me. You start off wonderfully ineffectual, and that "hero's journey" arc is always something I find very compelling. It reminds me of ELEX in how powerless you feel in the beginning, both in terms of actual ability as well as dwarfed by the possibili...

Aw man. Sorry to hear that. Praying for a fast recovery.

Played recently: The Messenger, Hollow Knight, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2, Axiom Verge 2 Finished: nothing Added to backlog: nothing Current backlog: 35 I had to bail on The Messenger because of the thumb-destroying double jump mechanic. What a shame... that game seems truly great. Seeking an...

I really liked Borderlands 1, 2 and The Pre-Sequel, but I didn’t like 3 as much because the story and characters were mid, the levels were linear and the difficulty wasn’t balanced for playing it solo with a ridiculous amount of enemies to fight and bosses that were bullet sponges clearly designed ...

Playing: Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands How are you liking that? I loved Borderlands 1 and 2 but never finished 3... something about it didn't click (maybe the terrible UI/menus?). I'm hesitant to play Tiny Tina just because of Tiny Tina. She was fine in very small doses but a whole game with her yapping ...

Played recently: Balatro, Gris Finished: nothing Added to backlog: nothing Current backlog: 35 I checked out a couple of games last week but nothing got its hooks in me in my comedown from Sea of Stars. I'll try again this week. Has anyone here played Pentiment, one of the four that came from Xbox t...

Yeah, it doesn't make much sense that it wouldn't have done so. I know it's "old", but as big and beloved as the franchise is overall, I would think it would be easy money. Hard to figure out why some things are not done. And I know I've sung this tired song too much. But you could run it...

I had mentioned a week or so ago that I'm about to finally start Morrowind, and indeed I am. :P But, I know I'm going to get lost in it - or at least I believe so, and so I wanted to play some shorter stuff before I surrender to a probable obsession, ha. It's a shame no version of that has ever com...

Played recently: Sea of Stars Finished: Sea of Stars Added to backlog: Balatro, Gris Current backlog: 35 Sea of Stars is in the books. What a special game. HIGHLY recommended to everyone here. If you play it, try to avoid spoilers, and take the extra steps to get the true ending (after the regular o...
