That's Clair Obscur done and dusted, and my review published. Long story short, it is as phenomenal as everyone says it is. The story is gripping and emotional, the combat is equally diverse and satisfying, and the presentation is a visual and audio feast

ShawnRazor's review of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 | Backloggd
It's funny thinking about Expedition 33 now, cause when I first saw it, I thought it looked fine but nothing special. Many people saw it as another studio's stab at JRPGs like Final Fantasy and Person...

You know what? After playing the demo, I think people were right. Stellar Blade is shockingly fun despite it being touted as simply gooner bait.
The combat is surprisingly satisfying, and judging by the skill tree, it has a decent amount of depth. Guess that's going on the old wishlist

Finished The Expanse finally
I have such a love hate relationship with that show. Some parts like Season 3 and 5 are great, but then some of the earlier seasons were paced weird because of the book structure. Also Season 6 beyond frustrates me with missed potential.

Just realized I never gave a followup to this.
Wrapped it up and enjoyed it still, but it is easily the worst of the reboot trilogy. It has the core of what makes a Doom game great, but the weapon sandbox, dragon sections, and open-world levels are all mediocre at best.

Played around three hours of Dark Ages and yeah to absolutely no surprise, it fucks HARD.
Don't love that glory kill animations have been neutered a bit, but everything else is awesome. The mech sections in particular are so, SO good. Exceeded my expectations

It always amazes me seeing people say there's nothing to play, because I consider myself excessive when it comes to my gaming habits, and yet I still have hundreds of games to check out

I desperately hope Metroid Prime 4 gets its act together with boss designs. The boss designs of the first three entries have been anywhere between the classic "normal enemy but bigger" and utterly fucking infuriating

I’m sure there are some folks will find this disingenuous or insulting given what happened to old waypoint but honestly I have respect for this nu waypoint writer for speaking up about how shitty the polygon situation is.

Losing Polygon is a Huge Blow to Games Journalism
The Polygon news has rocked us all, and it's a continuing look at the state of games journalism. Something needs to change.

One thing I’ve realized as I get older is I no longer have patience for people who want to find the negative in everything. I literally do not give a shit, stop killing everyone’s mood.

Gave Blue Prince a good six hours and...yeah, I'm good lol. Heard already that it was an RNG-focused roguelike which I despise, but I didn't think it would come this soon or be this drastic.
Oh well. As usual I'm glad people love it. Just not for my tastes

Playing as a healer in Rivals has been so fucking boring lately. If I'm not playing one of three meta healers I don't get to hear the end of it until I swap to them. I'll do it if it keeps the team mental up, but holy fuck I just want to enjoy the game

Talking with a few friends and despite what should debunk it, I'm sticking to the idea that Vex is 100% Ava.
Between her appearance/voice being similar, along with the ways that could play out both narratively and for fan sentiment, it seems too good an opportunity to pass up.

Gonna be straight up, BL4 looks great. Looks like BL3 if they just refined everything a bit more and finally brought some big quality of life (i.e. Summoning cars anywhere). Def got my attention
