EDF With Dinosaurs This Is Not | Attacking the Backlog with Exoprimal

This one is 100% my fault. If I paid any attention, I would have known what kind of game Exoprimal was--a team-based action game about completing the same objectives over and over again until you get so good you can do them in your sleep--but I didn't pay attention; instead, I let myself become disappointed by the game not meeting my uninformed expectations, so that's on me. That said, even after I accepted what the game is, it still failed to grab me in a way that kept me wanting to see more, a "more" people say exists, but I'll never know since I got more than my fix after hitting hour six.

It's Not You, It's Me | Attacking the Backlog with Spider-Man: Miles Morales - Part 02

It's not entirely me, but my overall meh-ness on Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is partially due to my being burnt out on Spider-Man games. It doesn't help that Miles Morales is just another Spider-Man game, for better and worse, but I can't deny my blame in this outcome. While I was genuinely excited to play Miles Morales, it's clear my heart was trying to trick my brain into thinking things would be different this time--they weren't--so when I realized Miles Morales was just morales of the same, it was game over. It's not (all) you, Miles Morales, it's (mostly) me.

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.

Metal Slug Tactics Has Some Great Ideas, but Gets Old Faster Than Jack | The Pixelated Sausage Show

And I am forever bummed by the fact we still don't have a physical release of Tetris (and likely never will), but that is neither here nor there. This week's episode starts off with Death Stranding shadow dropping onto Xbox, Astro Bot selling 1.5 million copies, and the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition getting surprise updated on PC and consoles, before getting to what I've been playing with Metal Slug Tactics, Tetris Forever, Tinkertown, Selfloss, Vampire Hunters, Skater's Solstice, and Hannah. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day.

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...
