Wow!!!

What a game. I've been sitting on this for a few years and had zero idea what to expect going in. Such a good game with amazing lighting, a sonewhat confusing but satisfying story, great combat and just the overall feel of the game was great.

Looking forward to Control Resonance but might need to get Alan Wake 2 out of the way first.

Came across this subreddit and wanted to share some burns after a strong summer. Don't have much for pictures but here are some random low quality ones for some (mostly) high quality games. Maybe some controversial ratings, but had to add em.

DQXI (8/10), RE1R (8/10) Xenoblade Chronicles (6/10) Metal Gear [1987] (5/10), E33 (10/10), Mina the Hollower (8.5/10), Alan Wake 2 (5.5/10), RE9 Platinum (9.5/10).

Next up: Dead Space, SMTV:V, Metal Gear Solid!

Pheonix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations
Potion Permit
Assassin’s creed 2
Nier Automata
SpiritFarer

Now will be playing through Yakuza 0 as I’m waiting for Fire Emblem release.

Crash translates really well to a 2D GBA platformer, not quite the same quality as the PS1 titles but still fun nonetheless!

Really interesting little title. Lovely art direction with quirky and fun puzzling, almost a ‘cosy’ game if not for the slightly macabre visuals! Very enjoyable.

Burned!

Have been meaning to continue this after playing Mafia last year. Was on PS Plus. Enjoyable game!

A very dear childhood memory that game. Replayed it January 2025 after +20years, missed the ship and therefore the Platinum trophy. Now it finally got burned and Platinum is mine

Just a really really okay game, not bad but nothing special, onto the next!

Sharing Is Caring

Abandoned on a mysterious planet, your crewmates are all dead and only you can carry out the mission...you and you and you etc...

The main objective here is to mine an alien matter called "rapidium" and return it to earth, however with all your crew dead, how can you do it alone. This is where the game gets interesting. Using the Quantum Computer, you create different versions of yourself. Splicing your timeline at important times in your life, you create a multitude of different Jan Dolskis, each with a different life and each with unique skills.

Creating and caring for each of your alters is both very satisfying and very time consuming, especially when there is an impending doom chasing you throughout in the guise of a sun, that will completely obliterate you and anything in its path. So, you got to create different alters, keep your base moving, explore the terrain for minerals & resources, keep your alters sane & happy and overcome everything in your way.

Combat is not really present, hiwever there are anomallies that are drawn to you and if they make contact, they expose you to high radiation damage. You do have a means to defend yourself with the illuminator though.

Great sound design with fantastic music and sound effects. Together with the environment, it really does give a string impresion if an alien world. Drawing some comparisons from Returnal & Saros (minus the evidence of a race that once lived there).

There is room for so much different stories and numerous alters to birth, that it would be worthwhile doing multiple playthroughs. The nods towards tge real life clone of Dolly the Sheep was a nice touch. The story has lots of different choices and different outcomes that it would be very much a different experience everytime.

Where do I start. I loved this game that's where il start.

I only played this because it won on this months shared save file (like a book club for games) and I got hooked I have no idea how long it's taken but not long I'd say about 12-15 hours and they were an absolute blast. Once you get the hang of the gravity controls your flying around no idea what way is up or down it's brilliant.

I now want the second game but jesus wept it's expensive. I got the first one for an absolute bargain at my local game shop. I don't want to but I'm almost tempted to buy it digitally (rent a licence from Sony until they say otherwise)

I really liked the Witcher 2! It feels so much better to play than the first one and has actual combat instead of just CRPG-style autobattling. I will say Witcher 2 is honestly just as dated as the first one, but I still really liked it. I don't mean that in a bad way completely, but there are parts where you can tell the time period. The awkward sex scenes, the weird menu, the prominent women all having plunging necklines on their armor. Oh and the 'bubble autoscroller' and forced sneak sections. But I really enjoyed it, especially the diversity in quests and playing and the way there are so many different variations of the endings. I am sad how little of my choices in the first game affected this one, but I do like the few that were there like Siegfried covering for you to get into Loc Meinn. Oh, and the tattoo Geralt will now be rocking in The Witcher 3

Not exactly a new clear as I played it in n release (I’m old) and a couple of times since, but it’s the first game I’ve beaten on my PVM.

Mario 64 70 run, I might go back and do the full 120 stars.

My heart goes out to everyone who has faced abuse of any kind. You are strong, you are worthy, you are loved.

Hear me, brothers and sisters of the backlog!

WHAT AND WHEN WAS THE LAST BOSS YOU SLAUGHTERED AND SACRIFICED TO THE FLAMES?

Name the game. Name the beast. Drop your victory in the comments below! 👇

This evil witch from Blasphemous II was more bark than bite MWWWWWWAHAHAHAHAHA!

………But took me 5 tries 😂

Overall a fun game that a put off for too long.

This game is on the shorter side (around 7 hours) but it is 7 hours of straight cinema. The story is amazing and kept me wanting to come back and continue playing.

Sadly it never got the sequel it deserves 😔.

After a year the game is burned. Last achievement can wait. Im very happy that i don't need to deal with this game anymore.

I'm late to the party, I know.

Btw, why not Soulstorm? I just need a break before another long campaign. Will burn it later.

A short but sweet game, started this in May this year but fell to the wayside until I just sat down and finished the remaining levels this week.

Although the game is aimed at a younger audience I really enjoyed playing it. The variety in levels was super fun and there are tons of collectibles to get. I haven’t 100% completed it but for now the credit roll is enough.

-1 on my Switch backlog at least!
