It's Just Another Spider-Man Game... | Attacking the Backlog with Spider-Man: Miles Morales

I was excited to finally play Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales as I was deep into my MCU (and live-action Spider-Man) rewatch, but that excitement quickly disappeared as I remembered exactly why I liked but didn't love Marvel's Spider-Man: it was just another Spider-Man game. This shouldn't come as a surprise, but Miles Morales is yet another Spider-Man game, for better or worse. There's nothing wrong with this, but it's clear at this point I'm just not much of a Spider-Man game fan anymore. Maybe one day I'll see the light again, but one thing's for sure, Miles Morales will not be the game to do it.

It's No Downhill Domination, but It's a Fine Substitute | Attacking the Backlog with Riders Republic

You may be asking yourself, "Why on earth did you decide to play Riders Republic of all the thousands of games you own?" The answer is simple: I love Downhill Domination and I'm always looking for games that scratch that itch; first there was Descenders and now there's Riders Republic. Let's not kid ourselves here, Riders Republic is no Downhill Domination, but it does scratch that itch--the mountain biking events specifically--and sometimes a bit of scratching is good enough, even if the itch comes back immediately after stopping. If only Sony would remake Downhill Domination and turn me back into the PlayStation fanboy I once was...

I'm Happy to Have Nomore Golf Story to Play | Attacking the Backlog with Golf Story, Part 03

The hell of my own making is finally over. After seven longs nights of streaming and over twenty hours of playing, my story with golf has ended and I can finally move on with my life. I don't say this lightly, but I genuinely believe like I wasted my time playing this game; not in the playing it all part, but in the playing it to completion when I should have said "no more" way sooner. If I can take away anything positive from this bit of backlogging, it should be this: Attack the Backlog is about attacking my backlog, not finishing it, so when a game isn't clicking, move on. Will I follow this advice in the future, or keep on keeping on? Only time will tell, but all signs point to my dumb ass keeping on like I always do.

Can I Get a Mulligan, Please? | Attacking the Backlog with Golf Story, Part 02

Things have taken a turn for the worse. While I was indifferent last episode, I am indifferent no more. I hate this game. I hate everything about it--okay, that's a bit of a stretch, but I really don't like a lot of it. What I thought was going to be a pleasant surprise is instead and wave of sand in my eyes (from hitting a lot of balls out of the bunker). Both the golfing and the story disappoint and boy oh boy is there a lot of the latter and not enough of the former, but who's really to blame? Is it my fault for expecting a more even split, or is it the developer's fault for making the game the way it is? You can come to your own conclusions, but I'll split the blame and call it a day...except this isn't the end of my journey; nay, there's still one more episode until we can say, "Golf Story...good day!"
