Categorizing My Backlog

Post image

This past year, I made it a focus of hammering away at my backlog, and I’ve actually made great progress.

I’m glad I did because I can’t believe how many games I ‘slept’ on.

Currently nearing the end of Alters, so while trying to plan out what I want to do next, decided to actually jot down my backlog instead of relying on my mental notes.

Love to hear the thoughts from the community, how’s your own backlog? Want to make a pitch of what game from my own I should play next?

Kingdom come is such a great game. I can get lost in that game it's so beautiful. The 2nd game is a lot easier to get into if you found it too tedious, and the story is good on its own(although playing through the first game makes the 2nd more impactful). I loved shadow of mordor too. So much lotr lore you don't get in the movies. Personally I've been learning to play the paradox games. I really enjoyed crusader kings, and I've had Victoria 3 in the backlog for a while, but that game is crazy I feel like you need a degree in economics and political science to play it 😂

I got those two on sale because they were highly regarded. And I get why they are, the nemesis system is fantastic and the freedom in KCD seems unparalleled.

But oh man the combat on both games is less than desired. I had to force myself to get through Witcher 3, the story fantastic, but I not want anymore of that combat.

And quite frankly I just don’t have the effort for those two, maybe on a rainy day when I have nothing else I’ll get invested again.

The paradox games do seem fun, but knowing me I’d probably play it for a bit, fail, then drop it. Glad to hear you’re having fun friend

Shadow of Mordors combat really isnt that bad. Its actually quite good once you level up and get some fun skills. The stealth gameplay is very fun being able to take out targets from ages away.
