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!"

There's a Whole Lotta Story in Golf Story | Attacking the Backlog with Golf Story, Part 01

I didn't know what to play after Kena: Bridge of Spirits. I perused the various short lists I created and, when I got to my Switch, one game popped out at me: Golf Story. I had always been interested in Golf Story ever since it first came out to overall glowing reviews, but me and the Switch haven't had the best relationship, so, like many Switch games, I never got around to playing it. Fast-forward to now and things have finally changed. It shouldn't be a surprise, but there is a lot of story in Golf Story and the quality of that story is a, "Your mileage will vary," affair, but there's golf to be played as well and, if you want to know how I feel about either or both (so far), you best listen to this here first episode in my playthrough of Golf Story for the Nintendo Switch.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits: Part 02 - A Rough Finish, But Still Great in the End | Attack the Backlog

Things got a little rocky at the end. An annoying boss followed by another annoying boss almost soured the whole experience. Thankfully, the good of Kena greatly outweighs what little bad is there, so not much love was lost. There are things to nitpick and little ways they could have improved this or that, but what's there is a solid experience that doesn't overstay its welcome and leaves me excited to see what Ember Lab does next. If you want a fun adventure with a well-told story and beautiful art, you'll get that and more with Kena: Bridge of Spirits.
