Star Wars: Republic Commando

December 20, 2021May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

I don’t know about you, but I love a good Star Wars game. For a franchise as vast and all-encompassing as Star Wars, it’s inevitable that there are an awful lot of games, and an awful lot of them are a bit naff. That means though, that when a good one comes along, often they’re … Continue reading Star Wars: Republic Commando

Far Cry 4

August 30, 2021May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ 1 Comment

Following on from a brilliantly-received predecessor has to be hard. There must be a nagging thought that follows you, constantly asking whether you need to be as inventive as your precursor, or whether you ought to simply copy what they did and hope that lightning strikes twice. That discussion must have taken place at Ubisoft … Continue reading Far Cry 4

Far Cry 3

June 28, 2021May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ 1 Comment

I don’t know how accurate this is, but I feel like Far Cry 3 is the game which really put the series on the map. I have played bits of both the first and second games, and I can see why they’d be popular but it’s my recollection that the third game is the entry … Continue reading Far Cry 3

Superhot

May 31, 2021May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

Superhot is another one of those games that I’ve had sitting on my PS4 for ages. It’s a game I’ve been aware of since it was released due to the high praise it got from some of my favourite reviewers at the time, but until now I’d just never gotten around to trying it. It … Continue reading Superhot

Deus Ex: Human Revolution

January 18, 2021May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ 1 Comment

The original Deus Ex holds a special place in the hearts of many old-school RPG fans - widely regarded as a classic, it was set in a near-future cyberpunk dystopia and saw JC Denton, an augmented agent of a UN Anti-Terrorist coalition, investigate huge interconnected conspiracies that threatened the entire stability of the world - … Continue reading Deus Ex: Human Revolution

The Outer Worlds

February 23, 2020May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

I admit it. I’m a huge fan of dirty, worn-out sci-fi. Firefly, Cowboy Bebop, Mos Eisley in Star Wars, the grimiest, seediest underbellies of Omega and the Citadel in Mass Effect; they all push my buttons in a massive way. The Outer Worlds really looked to channel that and that absolutely drew me in, even … Continue reading The Outer Worlds

Jedi Knight III: Jedi Academy

November 28, 2019May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ 1 Comment

Given I am a massive nerd, it should come as no surprise that I am a sucker for a Star Wars game. George Lucas’ space-opera was one of the defining loves of my childhood, and so I eagerly consumed any vaguely Star Wars-themed media I could get my hands on. Games were of course no … Continue reading Jedi Knight III: Jedi Academy

Bioshock Infinite

October 21, 2019May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

Time for a gaming confession: I’ve never played System Shock 2. It’s one of those titles from the glory days of PC gaming that passed me by entirely, like much of that era due to me being a poxy wee console baby. This meant I had no context whatsoever for all the comments about Bioshock … Continue reading Bioshock Infinite

Titanfall 2

April 30, 2019May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

Titanfall is one of the games that really has never been on my radar. I’m not wild about first-person shooters, and I had a very specific set of games in mind that I wanted to play when I upgraded to current gen consoles. But I’m also a proper sucker for some deals so when Titanfall … Continue reading Titanfall 2

Wolfenstein: The New Order

January 8, 2018May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

The Nazis are really bad. There you go, that’s the central premise of the Wolfenstein series of video games. It’s not revolutionary as far as ideas go, but at least it’s simple and makes sense. The Nazis are bad and you have to shoot the crap out of them. Sure, there’s some extra stuff in … Continue reading Wolfenstein: The New Order
