The Smurfs - Mission Vileaf - A Smurfingly Smurf Urf...

Pixelated Sausage - Attack the Backlog ·

2023/04/23

This smurf of Attack the Smurflog is all about The Smurfs - Mission Vileaf, a 3D platformer with vibrant, colorful smurf, pacing that keeps things feeling smurfy throughout, and a smurf that feels good, which, let’s be honest, is the most important smurf of all. But don't just take my smurf for it, give this smurf a smurf or smurf and I'm sure you'll smurf exactly what I'm smurfing about...

I Don't Know What to Say: A NERF Legends (Kind of)...

2023/04/09

I wish I suffered from memory loss so I could forget ever playing NERF Legends; however, I'm at a loss for words instead. I honestly don't know what to say. NERF Legends is bad. It's not kind of bad, or, "so bad it's good," bad, it's just bad-bad. Without a single redeeming quality, NERF Legends is indeed a thing of legends as it will forever be one of the worst games I've ever played for Attack the Backlog. Don't believe me? Well, I won't stop you from playing the game yourself, just don't come

2023/03/26

I honestly can't think of anything to say and it's driving me a bit insane, so I'm just going shut up and let this here episode do all the talking as I turn around to escape my brain with a bit of fast walking; however, let me say one thing before I go: Wave Race 64 is a good time and a Nintendo 64 game that holds up as not just okay, but surprisingly great. And with that, I’ve nothing left to say, so bid you adieu I shall do with the opposite of “Hey” and the movement of my hand

Looks Like I'm the One Being Punished Here: A...

Pixelated Sausage - Attack the Backlog ·

2023/03/12

I was beyond excited to return to The Punisher well over a decade since I played it last, but sometimes excitement is met with crushing disappointment and crushed I was this time. What I remembered being a fun and over-the-top action game fitting of the Punisher's name turned out to be a simple and boring exercise of repetition and poorly balanced difficulty spikes. Not even Thomas Jane himself could muster a hint of excitement to return as the title character, delivering one of the most

When New Is Old and Old Is New: An Animal Crossing:...

Pixelated Sausage - Attack the Backlog ·

2023/02/26

It's a sad day when you return to a series you once loved only to find out that love is no more. That was the case for me and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. You may be wondering, "Is it my fault or the game's fault?" The answer isn't that simple; the answer is both and neither. Ultimately, some things change and some things don't and this just happened to be a case where those that changed no longer aligned with those that didn't. But don't just take my word for it, take my video (and audio) too,

When Gettin' Slimed Is a Good Time: A Slime Rancher...

Pixelated Sausage - Attack the Backlog ·

2023/02/12

You know a game is special when you can take a break for years and return as if no time had passed at all. That was my experience with Slime Rancher, a game about sucking up slimes and spitting them into little prisons so you can force feed them until they shit their figurative pants, all so you can take that shit and sell it on the poo, I mean, plort market. There is, of course, more to it than just that--a bit of farming, a bit of exploring, a bit of breeding, and a bit of "choring"--but

One of the Best Games of the Decade?!: A Clone Drone...

Pixelated Sausage - Attack the Backlog ·

2023/01/29

It's times like this that make Attack the Backlog worth it. For all the games that disappoint, there are games that surprise, and no game in recent memory surprised me quite as much as Clone Drone in the Danger Zone. Not only did I have a blast playing the game, but Clone Drone took me on a weird and wild journey I won't soon forget, delivering a story that kept me wanting to play more and more until credits rolled (which is exactly what I did). I can't promise you'll come away feeling as high on

Best in Multiple Pieces, Not One: A One Piece: Pirate...

Pixelated Sausage - Attack the Backlog ·

2023/01/15

Another every other weekend and another episode of Attack the Backlog is here for your listening and/or watching (dis)pleasure. This week's episode is for none other than One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4, the latest game in the One Piece musou series--aka, another one of those Dynasty Warriors games. That may already be enough to turn you off, but don't turn that dial just yet, you may be surprised by this one (piece) even if you're not traditionally a fan of One Piece (in general) or musou games (have

Pixelated Sausage - Attack the Backlog ·

2023/01/01

Hello everyone. This here episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles, a game at least somewhat inspired by Breath of the Wild, where you’re thrown into an unknown world after shipwrecking on an island filled with copy and paste humans and seven different colors of foxes. You get your own farm, collect a plethora of resources, and wonder why you’re doing any of the things you’re doing the whole time you’re playing.But don't just take my

There Has Never Been a More Accurate Title: A Need...

2022/12/18

Hello everyone. This here episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Need for Speed Payback, a racing game released in 2017 that feels like it was made in 1917, not directed by Sam Mendes, who surely sendes his regards to moi for the payback endured while playing Payback, also known as, “Yet Another Need for Speed game,” no one remembers because they all started blending together post-Most Wanted and, even among the blended, Payback is far from the one most want to play. But don't just

A Far Cry From a Good Time: A Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon...

Pixelated Sausage - Attack the Backlog ·

2022/12/04

Hey there everyone! This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, a standalone bite-sized Far Cry that offered a cyberific experience full of 80s vibes and supposedly good times; however, good times were not had and that's not because Blood Dragon is bad, but worse than bad: it's disappointing. What made Blood Dragon disappointing? I guess you'll just have to check out the show to get in the know.

A Short Hike Is Nothing Short of a Shore Delight |...

Pixelated Sausage - Attack the Backlog ·

2022/11/20

I needed this one. After the year I’ve had, more so than anything else, I just needed a nice, chill, relaxing little game; a game I could get lost in for an hour or two; a game I could play and, if only for a moment, forget about all the real world woes and other various things that had me (and have me) feeling so low; a game that didn’t ask a lot from me, but instead gave a lot to me. A Short Hike was that game. A Short Hike is that game. A Short Hike is, after all, exactly what it

2022/11/06

Hello everyone. This is Second Runs, the series where I, Marc Kusnierz, revisits games I played and loved in the past to see if I still love them today. Will I learn something new, confirm something old, or quickly realize this was all a mistake as I slowly destroy what little bit of nostalgia I have left in this world. No matter the outcome, I’ve accepted the risks and will continue my journey through the opposite of a backlog until I’ve destroyed my soul all in the pursuit of content

A Great Game, but Just an Okay Resident Evil Game: A...

Pixelated Sausage - Attack the Backlog ·

2022/10/23

Hey there everyone! This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Resident Evil 7, the survival horror series’ jump to first-person and return to scares after going down a more action-centric route that started way back with Resident Evil 3. Did I love it? Did I hate it? Did I poop my pants multiple times while I played it? All these questions and more will be answered with a quick watch or listen, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

Sometimes Third Time's Not the Charm: A Dead Space 3...

Pixelated Sausage - Attack the Backlog ·

2022/10/09

Hey there everyone! This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Dead Space 3, the followup to Dead Space 2 and...that’s all I got. A lot has been said about Dead Space 3 since its original release, most of it negative; however, when you go back and look at the reviews, you’ll see a wide range of opinions, from those who thought it was amazing--a handful of reviews were very close to giving it a 10/10--to those who thought it was disappointing on all fronts. I can’t say I was

Very Pretty and Occasionally Shitty: A Destroy All...

2022/09/26

Hey there everyone! This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Destroy All Humans!, the 2020 remake of the game of the same name that originally came out back in 2005. Despite doing a lot right and, in many ways, being what I want from most PS2-era remakes, Destroy All Humans! makes a few things worse and, not just a little worse, but a lot worse, leading to incredibly frustrating moments that made me start hating a game I was overall enjoying, but I'll let the episode do the talking for me;

Pixelated Sausage - Attack the Backlog ·

2022/08/28

Hey there everyone! This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Rage, a first-person shooter where you wake up after spending over a century sleeping in a freezer just so you can do everyone’s dirty work for them, Norm MacDonald not included. P.S. Props to anyone who gets the entirety of this episode's title.

I Made a Terrible, Terrible Mistake: A Dragon Ball Z:...

Pixelated Sausage - Attack the Backlog ·

2022/08/14

Hey there everyone! This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, an open-world action-adventure game set in the world of Dragon Ball that retells the story of Dragon Ball Z in its entirety. If you want to experience Dragon Ball Z a second (or third/etc) time and don’t want to slog through the original series (or even the truncated Kai version), Kakarot is perfect for that. That said, if you did what I did in preparation, you may find yourself disappointed and

While Not Quite a Zero, It’s Far From a Hero: A...

Pixelated Sausage - Attack the Backlog ·

2022/07/31

Hey there everyone! This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Resident Evil 0, the prequel to Resident Evil starring Rebecca Chambers--aka, not Claire Redfield or Jill Valentine--and cool dude Billy Coen, with his super sweet tribal tattoo that apparently spells out “Motherlove” making me hate it (and him) even more than I already do. Billy hatred aside, 0 is a disappointing experiment that adds nothing of value to the series and, in some ways, takes a little away. At least it
