X-Men: Mutant Academy 2

January 10, 2023 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

The whole reason of my playing X-Men: Mutant Academy was to get to this game. This game was absolutely my childhood; countless hours were spent with this game as a youngster, mastering each and every character and combo. While I’ve never claimed to be a great fighting game enthusiast, there’s a few games that I … Continue reading X-Men: Mutant Academy 2

Final Fantasy VI

January 3, 2023 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

When I began this big project to play through as much of the mainline Final Fantasy series as possible, there were certain games I had in mind as what I suppose were my “targets” - the games I’d played before but never beaten. Chief among them were the SNES trio of IV, V, and VI; … Continue reading Final Fantasy VI

X-Men: Mutant Academy

December 20, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

I’ve played some exceptional fighting games over the years. This is especially true of those formative years growing up, where it feels like my taste was at its broadest. As a child of the PS1, franchises that would go on to be titans of the genre were still in their own stumbling infancies; games like … Continue reading X-Men: Mutant Academy

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos

November 8, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

I don’t think I’ve ever made any secret of being a child of the PlayStation generation, and one thing that comes with that is being a great lover of colourful mascot platformers. The mascot platformer was once the great colossus of the gaming landscape, with titles like Banjo-Kazooie, Donkey Kong, Spyro and Crash Bandicoot exerting … Continue reading Croc: Legend of the Gobbos

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater

August 30, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

When it comes to nostalgic games, there are few that hold the same resonance for me as the original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. I have wonderfully vivid memories of playing this first entry in the now-lengthy Tony Hawk-branded games and, I’m sure like many a child, exulting in the feeling of rushing around on a … Continue reading Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater

Final Fantasy V

July 12, 2022December 11, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

When it comes to the SNES era of Final Fantasy, I feel like V is one which sometimes gets left out of the discussion. There’s good reasons for that - in contrast to the wider releases of its predecessor and successor, V was alone in not getting an English release on its original console, needing … Continue reading Final Fantasy V

Chrono Trigger

May 24, 2022December 10, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

I’ve been looking forward to this one! Today we’re taking a look back through one of the most enduring, beloved JRPGs of all time. Frequently cited in greatest of all time lists, Chrono Trigger stands apart from many of its contemporaries purely for not already being part of a long-established series like Final Fantasy or … Continue reading Chrono Trigger

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen

April 26, 2022December 10, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

Do you know, of all the reviews I’ve found tough to write, I don’t think I was ever expecting a Dragon Quest review to be one of them. I mean, I know I’ve enjoyed a lot of these games, so surely articulating my thoughts shouldn’t be a problem? In fact, I really struggled with this … Continue reading Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen

Final Fantasy IV

April 18, 2022December 11, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

Final Fantasy IV’s legacy speaks for itself. Since its release in 1991 it has been routinely cited as among one of the best games ever made, and certainly holds a special place in the hearts of many as the point where Final Fantasy began to metamorphosize into the franchise it is today; that this game … Continue reading Final Fantasy IV

Final Fantasy II

February 7, 2022December 11, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

When you have a series as long as Final Fantasy, it’s inevitable that you’re going to have at least a few titles in your roster that people don’t like. Final Fantasy II is definitely one of these games for its parent franchise; if you ask people online to name weaker entries in the series, II … Continue reading Final Fantasy II
