The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

November 15, 2021May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ 1 Comment

If you know me, you’ll know there’s five words you can say that will make me the happiest person in the world. Just five little words, ideally spoken in a thick, Nordic drawl, greeting me as I open weary eyes after a fitful sleep. Hey, you. You’re finally awake. Oh, Skyrim. It may be a … Continue reading The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition

July 19, 2021May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

This particular review feels a bit odd to write. I’ve already written extensively about the Mass Effect games; all four of them remain amongst my favourite games of all time, and each one totally scratches the sci-fi itch that I have nagging at me all day. I wonder, then, what can I really add to … Continue reading Mass Effect: Legendary Edition

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

June 21, 2021May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ 1 Comment

I’ve put off writing this review for quite a while simply because I’ve been wracking my mind on how to approach it. The Elder Scrolls games are so vast and far-reaching that just trying to list off mechanics and evaluating them seems almost tawdry, especially for a game that is as venerable as Oblivion. Still, … Continue reading The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

The Sword of Hope

February 8, 2021May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

JRPGs are one of my greatest gaming loves. They’re definitely not everyone’s cup of tea, with their propensity towards verbose narratives full of junky tropes and slow turn-based battles. I love that kind of stuff though, and every now and again I get the urge to dip into the history of the genre and see … Continue reading The Sword of Hope

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

Darksiders III

December 29, 2020May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

Given my less than wildly excited reaction to the previous two games, you could be forgiven for thinking there was little point of my going into Darksiders III. However, that’s not what I’m about! I’m always open to going into games even if I’m not entirely enthused by the franchise in the hopes that something … Continue reading Darksiders III

Darksiders II

December 21, 2020May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ 2 Comments

Darksiders is a series which seems to have a real cult following. The first game is certainly one which seems to have some devoted fans. Personally I found it to be a disappointingly mediocre experience which, while it had its moments, failed to shine at well, anything, resulting in a perfectly adequate game. I’m not … Continue reading Darksiders II

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey

October 5, 2020May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

Oh I have been looking forward to this one for a long time. Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla is just around the corner as of time of writing, and though I know I’m not terribly likely to play it on release - such a thing is the antithesis of the patient gamer ethos after all - it … Continue reading Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey

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

Mass Effect 3 DLC

December 31, 2018June 13, 2021 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

From Ashes (Released Mar 2012) Mass Effect 3's first piece of DLC begins with a distress beacon on Eden Prime, back where the series started. Known for its extensive Prothean ruins; it is where Shepard first comes into contact with the precursor race through a hellish vision imparted by a beacon. This time around, the … Continue reading Mass Effect 3 DLC
