Another game I played earlier this year and my personal Game of the Year - Kingdom Come: Deliverance II

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

Say what you want about the Hardsuit Labs version of Bloodlines 2, at least it looked like a fucking RPG.

A little janky? Sure. Maybe a bit too ambitious? Absolutely.

But, that's what VTMB was.

Let's not forget that Paradox tried to lock two major clans behind a paywall - an obviously bad idea that they only reversed after a ton of pushback from the community they claim to love.

And, they still put a bunch of VTMB nostalgia bait into their super deluxe edition of whatever.
November 27, 2025 at 1:52 PM
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.

A bit disappointed, but not surprised

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

Macaulay Culkin as a Legionnaire is going to single handedly convince me to watch this lol

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:

Needed a better game after SH4 and decided to keep the PS2 horror train going with cult classic Haunting Ground

Despite seeming tailor made to frustrate me specifically, I actually had a good time with this one.

Star Wars Visions is still the only Star Wars thing that gets me to care about Jedi surviving Order 66 stories.

Jedi survives and helps the rebels? Tired, boring, snooze fest.

Jedi survives and goes to a hippie droid commune? Jedi survives and starts a fucking rock band? Hell yeah, let's go.

Might delete Bluesky tbh
September 29, 2025 at 8:08 PM
ok yeah we're done

fuck this sanitized, corporate, money grabbing slop
September 20, 2025 at 1:01 AM
good job with the new skate game, ea

no really, what a great piece of software you have here
September 19, 2025 at 10:36 PM
I read the new batman issue and im so disconnected from modern big 2 comics i genuinely can't tell if i liked it or not lol
September 5, 2025 at 8:58 PM
Ninja Gaiden 4 on my birthday? Star Wars Visions S3 a few days later?

HELL YEAH

So, in brief, in VtMB2 you can't play as one of the most iconic VtM clans unless pay extra. You can't play as Nosferatu at all despite their similarly iconic status in the franchise.

And, you can't even pick up a gun and shoot a guy.

What the fuck are we doing here?

I've been following Bloodline II's development for a while now

I thought I had seen everything but holy shit dude

I've gone from just being pretty sure this thing is gonna crash and burn to genuinely kinda hoping it does
August 20, 2025 at 12:27 PM
Oh my god fuck this fucking game

Putting the Toreador clan behind day one DLC is like making people pay extra to play as, like, a fighter in an rpg
August 20, 2025 at 12:19 PM
Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound was an extremely good time. Incredibly fun and satisfying platforming with vicious and fast combat.

Also, Kumori is far and away the best female character in this franchise by virtue of being an actual fucking character.

I hope James Gunn uses these freaks at some point

(i just want my hyperviolent, gay action romance please)
August 11, 2025 at 7:55 PM
But the new sushi restaurant in Epcot Japan? That shit bangs
August 8, 2025 at 1:51 AM
so this was a pretty good game

been in the mood for something straightforward and this really scratched that PS2 action platformer itch

gorgeous art direction, heartfelt story, clear passion on display on all levels
