LEGO 2K Drive: Part 01 - These Bricks Are Making Me Thirsty | Attack the Backlog
Pixelated Sausage - Attack the Backlog - July 14, 2024 23:00 ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsNothing like a random Seinfeld reference to start off a new Attack the Backlog series. As evident by the title, this new series is all about LEGO 2K Drive--aka LEGO Forza Horizon (even though there are LEGO expansions for Forza Horizon so it's kind of already been done, but also not, but also y...
124: Lisa: The Painful (with Rick Firestone - Pixel Project Radio)
Tales from the Backlog - July 10, 2024 04:00 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 36 ratingsFor any lover of RPGs, and especially "weird RPGs", as former guest on the show Rebekah Valentine termed them, Lisa: The Painful, by Dingaling Productions, will probably jump out at you. From its art style, non-pretty boy protagonist to its serious themes and punishing gameplay, this is not a gam...
123: 1000xRESIST (with Michael Higham)
Tales from the Backlog - July 03, 2024 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 36 ratingsSunset Visitor's 1000xRESIST came out of nowhere for me. Releasing on May 9th, 2024 meant it faced stiff indie competition on its day of release, and it wasn't until others were shouting from the rooftops that I found myself drawn to try it out (and a big thank you to Sunset Visitor and Fellow Tr...
System Shock: Part 04 - In the End It Was Still Great, but Not GREAT Great | Attack the Backlog
Pixelated Sausage - Attack the Backlog - June 30, 2024 23:00 ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsI made a bit of a mistake committing to make this week's episode the last episode, "forcing" myself to play the game for almost 13 hours. This led to pushing through frustrating times when a break would have been welcome and a need of crunching when it came to recording, editing, and posting th...

122: Mother 3 (with Rebekah Valentine)
Tales from the Backlog - June 26, 2024 04:00 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 36 ratingsFamously never localized for an English-speaking audience, HAL Laboratory and Brownie Brown's Mother 3 has almost become a meme at this point. So much so that I wondered if it could live up the inflated expectations that I unwittingly put on games that are unavailable or difficult to find, a kind...

System Shock: Part 03 - Don't Push the Button, Except When You Must Push Button | Attack the Backlog
Pixelated Sausage - Attack the Backlog - June 23, 2024 23:00 ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsYou know that feeling when you push a button and accidentally kill millions of people on Earth, so you don't push the button until you know you won't accidentally kill millions of people on Earth and then you forget about the button you didn't push but can push now if only you remembered the bu...
121: The Last Guardian (with Chris - Franchise Festival)
Tales from the Backlog - June 19, 2024 04:00 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 36 ratingsFumito Ueda's trilogy of Playstation games- Ico, Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian- are idiosyncratic, minimalist art pieces. The final game in the trilogy, before the unfortunate dissolution of Japan Studio, was The Last Guardian, showcasing the uneasy partnership between an unnamed b...
System Shock: Part 02 - Even When Roombas Attack, I Love It and That's a Fact | Attack the Backlog
Pixelated Sausage - Attack the Backlog - June 16, 2024 23:00 ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsUnlike The Ascent, there were no 180s this week with System Shock; I'm still loving the game. Sure, it's not perfect--Cyberspace continues to frustrate and annoy, and combat in general hasn't changed all that much--but the story, world-building, and general sense of discovery and tension are al...
120: Roadwarden (with Bryan Skursha - Pixelated Playgrounds)
Tales from the Backlog - June 12, 2024 04:00 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 36 ratingsFrom the first screenshot I saw of Roadwarden (Moral Anxiety Studio), I knew that I needed to check the game out. The art is simple, yet striking, and any screenshot will convey the quality of writing. Once I booted up the game, I found that the choose-your-adventure writing, the confident RPG me...

System Shock: Part 01 - This May Come as a Shock, but I'm Loving This Game | Attack the Backlog
Pixelated Sausage - Attack the Backlog - June 09, 2024 23:00 ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsIt's been a long time coming, but I've finally started my adventure in the world of System Shock, a game I've been wanting to play ever since I played (and adored) BioShock--yes, I know System Shock 2 is the one most mention when talking about BioShock, but how could I play 2 before 1? As the t...
119: Cyberpunk 2077 + Phantom Liberty (with Adam Gumbert - Respawn Aim Fire)
Tales from the Backlog - June 05, 2024 04:00 - 3 hours ★★★★★ - 36 ratingsCyberpunk 2077 has had quite a journey. From the disastrous launch, the warranted criticism, and years more work by the developers at CD Projekt Red, the game is finally in proper working condition, fine tuned into a magnificent experience. Add in the Phantom Liberty expansion, and you have some ...
118: God Hand (with Derek Van Dyke - Super Deluxe GamesCast)

Pixelated Sausage - Attack the Backlog - May 27, 2024 00:00 ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsOur journey with the The Ascent continues (and ends) this week with disappointment. The issues that showed their face at the end of last week were all over the place this week, with difficulty spikes galore and a story that continued to bore.

117: The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (with Jared - Play Along Podcast)
Tales from the Backlog - May 22, 2024 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 36 ratingsAs the Legend of Zelda series has pivoted to free-flowing and creativity-focused open words, "The Zelda Formula" has fallen by the wayside, left in the memories of those who grew up with it. That's certainly the case for me, as I welcomed the change that Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdo...

116: Transistor (with Alex - Low Five Gaming)
Tales from the Backlog - May 08, 2024 04:30 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 36 ratingsTransistor, by Supergiant Games, is an interesting game to go back to after playing Hades. You can see a lot of ideas that started here in Transistor and made their way all the way to Hades, with Transistor still being a really engaging and strategic game in its own right.

Pixelated Sausage - Attack the Backlog - May 05, 2024 23:00 ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsMy time with Ghost Recon Wildlands has finally come to an end. While I originally wasn't sure if I was even going to keep playing the game after week one, I ended up completing the game 100%--not including the DLC--and I must say...it didn't really get any better; I just got more and more used ...
115: Xenogears (with Michael Berger - Bits of Time)
Tales from the Backlog - May 01, 2024 04:00 - 3 hours ★★★★★ - 36 ratingsXenogears, by Square, is one of the big RPGs of this era that I wanted to check off. As a fan of the Xenoblade Chronicles games and JRPGs in general, going back to the root of the series felt like an interesting trip back through history. A few things had initially put me off, like all of the tal...
