LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

March 14, 2023 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

Given the huge, vast realms of potential content to adapt in LEGO form, it seems odd (if not downright cynical) that Traveller’s Tales seem to circle around the same 3 franchises. I guess it makes sense to produce a ton of games based around superhero brands like Marvel and DC; after all, they have endless … Continue reading LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

LEGO Marvel’s Avengers

February 21, 2023 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

One thing I remarked on back when I reviewed LEGO Marvel Super Heroes was how impressed I was that it managed to both utilise the imagery and ideas of the Marvel Cinematic Universe while still retaining a clear sense of unique identity. Largely that was helped along by the game taking a wonderfully healthy attitude … Continue reading LEGO Marvel’s Avengers

Dear Esther

February 14, 2023 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

Whenever Dear Esther crops up in conversation, you’ll almost always find someone espousing the (not unreasonable) opinion that it isn’t a game. After all, I think most of us would accept that our traditional understanding of what a video game is includes ideas like having a failure state and overcoming some kind of challenge to … Continue reading Dear Esther

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes

December 13, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

So there’s this little film series that exists right? You might have heard of it once or twice at some point: the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Did you know that once upon a time it was even a franchise of comic books as well? And for some reason the fine folk over at Traveller’s Tales decided … Continue reading LEGO Marvel Super Heroes

The Fate of Atlantis

November 22, 2022December 10, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

It was with a bittersweet smile on my face that I came to the end of The Fate of Atlantis, the final piece of long-form DLC for Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. It’d been a long time coming; I started playing Odyssey back in mid 2020 and while I took a little break in playing between now … Continue reading The Fate of Atlantis

Legacy of the First Blade

October 25, 2022December 10, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

The Assassin’s Creed franchise has a pretty fair track record when it comes to downloadable content, I feel. Over the years we’ve seen Ubisoft use additional paid content as a vehicle to produce some impressive releases, on par with expansions of the sort that old PC games used to enjoy. They haven’t all been amazing, … Continue reading Legacy of the First Blade

Wheels of Aurelia

September 6, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

On paper, there’s no real reason I would be interested in Wheels of Aurelia. If there’s three things I know very little about, it’s visual novels, racing, and the rise of neo-fascism in 1970s Italy. And yet, it’s this wild trio of things that I find myself having to understand amidst the rush and hubbub … Continue reading Wheels of Aurelia

Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory

August 23, 2022December 11, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

The Kingdom Hearts series sure has gone in some weird directions over the years. Even though the core games in the franchise have stuck with a simple action-JRPG formula, the developers over at Square Enix have certainly never shied away from playing with a plethora of different gameplay ideas in their other releases. Series veterans … Continue reading Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory

Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid

August 16, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

If there was ever an idea for a game that I would never have called, a Power Rangers-themed fighting game in 2019 would be pretty high on that list. I can’t remember the last time Saban and Hasbro’s zany franchise about teenagers who gain magical powers, transform into spandex-clad warriors, and defend the world by … Continue reading Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid

Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor

August 10, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

I have a bit of a history when it comes to playing Shadow of Mordor. I can remember being maddeningly excited for it back in 2014; I still had glorious memories of playing the old The Return of the King game, not to mention the fun RPG The Third Age, but both of those were … Continue reading Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor
