Ok, so I've played a good amount of games this year and I thought it'd be fun to go back and give each one a quick little write up/review on Backloggd and post one a day in roughly the order I played them.

First off the list: Stray

Did y'all know there's a Letterboxd for video games? I didn't, but now I'm obsessed with it so you get to hear my unsolicited video game opinions. Yay!

Anyways, here's 40k Space Marine II

Warhammer 40k: Space Marine II kicks so much ass holy shit

Idk what they were expecting.

Paradox hired a walking sim dev to make a non-RPG sequel to one of the most beloved RPGs of all time.

And, that's after completely restarting development and firing Brian Mitsoda for reasons he doesn't even know.

Now that I've seen it, go ahead and throw KPop Demon Hunters onto the pile of things several of my friends like that I just don't even kind of like or understand
Is this a safe space to admit I'm an absolute Hazbin Hotel hater?

I was actually planning on skipping the Game Awards this year, but if there's even a chance of glancing my beloved...
Insider-Gaming: Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake is scheduled to release in mid-January 2026 with an appearance likely at The Game Awards (Dec 11, 2025) insider-gaming.com/prince-of-pe...

A bit disappointed, but not surprised

At this point GTA6 is gonna drop before the new Streetlight album

toss up between the PS1 and the og Xbox

I played so much Spyro and Rayman back in the day, even played Soul Reaver when I was way too young

But, the Xbox is when I started to understand what I liked and why I liked it. Morrowind, KOTOR, Prince of Persia, Halo, Tony Hawk, Ninja Gaiden.
What's your "Origin Console"?

Most gamers have many favorite systems, but there's always one that basically DEFINES you.

I'm talking about the console that flipped the switch in your mind and turned you into a life-long gamer.

So, which one is it for YOU? 💫

I know these awards are stupid, but seeing KCD2 get a GOTY nom just makes me happy

Also, really pulling for Silent Hill f for best narrative
The Game Awards GOTY nominees leaked:

-Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

I don't have high expectations for this, but these photos are at least giving me hope that we're doing proper, regal Zelda and not cutesy best friend Zelda.

I love Production IG and desperately want this to be good, but I did not love the Ninth Jedi sequel in Visions S3, so we'll see
Lucasfilm is “much more involved in the production” of the upcoming THE NINTH JEDI series compared to the two shorts from VISIONS.

1) More women should write sword & sorcery.

Please, for the love of Crom, save us from the men's rights douchebros that try to turn hardboiled fantasy into some testosterone-driven epic of macho bullshit.

Here's apparently a really hot take, Griffith was not evil the whole time and he had genuine love and affection for Guts prior to his imprisonment.

This idea that Griffith was some amoral, evil being from the jump doesn't square with what I've just seen.

These panels break my fucking heart:

Finally reading Berserk while also watching the 97 anime

Needless to say, this is a Griffith stan account now

It pains me to say that this was a bit of a disappointment.

Yuko's Treasure, The Smuggler, and Black were highlights, but I found a lot of these to be pretty uninspired - especially the sequels to The Duel, Ninth Jedi, and Village Bride.

This anime right here, Magic Knight Rayearth, fucks. It fucks so hard.

Assuming you stop when the first season ends, anyways lol

Finally got around to seeing Weapons and very much enjoyed it.

Zach Cregger's ability to combine comedy and horror without sacrificing either is incredible.

Hi-Fi Rush, a game largely made to criticize corporations, had its developer shut down by Microsoft for no real reason only to be saved by a new parent company who is now "AI first".

Genuinely couldn't make this shit up if I tried. Jesus, they can't catch a break lol
Krafton says they are now an 'AI first' company

Franchises they own include 'PUBG' and 'Hi-Fi Rush'

Good, honestly

Idk if this is a hot take, but I can't fucking stand that site
TV Tropes is blocking access to the site not only if you have ad blockers on but location tracking off unless you want to subscribe to their $5 a month/$25 a year subscription plan. Even people who have turned their ad blockers off are reporting the site isn’t working. This all seems like a bad idea
