Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 241: 8/13/22: Madden NFL 23 Edition

Different strokes and all, but I thought Celeste was probably the best pure platformer I've ever played. I absolutely *love* it. Some of the most mechanical fun I've ever had playing a game. I can somewhat see the appeal of it if you’re really into challenging pure platformers, but I’m personally n...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 241: 8/13/22: Madden NFL 23 Edition

I started playing Celeste, and it’s not very good IMO. It’s another overrated indie game. But I only have myself to blame for buying it, because I never thought that it looked very appealing. But critics and gamers alike were gushing about it so much that I decided to buy it when it was on sale for ...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 241: 8/13/22: Madden NFL 23 Edition

The combat, while functional, was mostly an unnecessary chore, some bosses aside. It's not that it was bad, it was just very basic. I agree, the combat is definitely on the basic side and not all that much fun. It’s serviceable and gives you a little more to do in the game other than navigating lev...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 241: 8/13/22: Madden NFL 23 Edition

I stopped playing Blue Fire, while it’s good in a lot of ways there are just too many things about it that I personally dislike. For starters, the character that you play as is more of an avatar than an actual character. He’s a silent protagonist with a cute little look, but while playing him he jus...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 241: 8/13/22: Madden NFL 23 Edition

I'm pretty sure Ion Fury is in my backlog If you like classic 90s FPSs like Duke Nukem 3D, then I think that you’ll dig it. I did, it will probably be in the top 5 on my game list this year. I enjoyed Blue Fire phase. I know, your positive impressions of it here back when you were playing it are wh...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 241: 8/13/22: Madden NFL 23 Edition

I started playing Blue Fire, and I’ve been somewhat liking it so far. It’s a cartoonish third person action adventure platformer that’s a mix of Mario 3D, Zelda and even a little Dark Souls. The graphics are appealing, the gameplay is tight and responsive and the levels are fairly well designed. How...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 241: 8/13/22: Madden NFL 23 Edition

I finished Ion Fury, and it was a great time from start to finish. It’s one of the best straight-up FPSs (no adventure/RPG elements) that I’ve played in a long time. It’s a love letter to fans of 90s FPSs like Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior (which I am), and it delivered. It was a lot longer than ...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 241: 8/13/22: Madden NFL 23 Edition

I paid full price, I didn't dig it. However, it's not bad. They just talk. A LOT. Much like P5, every character present must comment on everything. And they are all present after about 3 hours. It's way too long too, should have been a tight 25-30 hours. It was closer to 45 I think? The actual game...

Persona 5 Strikers isn’t good? I was going to buy since it’s fairly cheap now, is it not worth getting?
