2023/12/27

2023 has been a fantastic game for video games, probably the best ever. In this episode I discuss my top 10 favourite games of 2023 and also list some games that I wish I had played this year, but didn't have the time for.

#22 Thirsty Suitors

Beat Your Backlog- Video Game Podcast ·

2023/12/17

Today we will be facing our seven-not-so-evil exes in Outerloop Games and Annapurna Interactives’ Thirsty Suitors. The best way to describe this game is a mix between Scott Pilgrim vs the World and the TV show Sex education, with turn-based battles and Tony Hawk-like skateboarding thrown in to add some spice to this already well seasoned game. Its story of a 20-something Indian-American woman called Jala returning to her hometown with her tail between her legs is edgy, horny, touching and funny

#21 Dave the Diver

Beat Your Backlog- Video Game Podcast ·

2023/12/05

Indie or not indie? Well that is up to you. In this episode I will be discussing the hot potato topic of Dave the Diver and why the game didn't quite gel with me. Is Dave the Diver one of the best indie or independent games of the year? I don't think so. The game has a lot of positives; it looks great, has a cool concept of hunting fish to serve in a sushi restaurant and it has tons of charm and flare. However, the gameplay itself feels like 'content'- it is over encumbered with

2023/11/20

Today we will be climbing, hand by hand, piton by piton up a sheer cliff in Don’t Nod’s Jusant and will be doing a quick round up of Nintendo’s recent Indie World presentation. Jusant- pronounced zhu-sahn is a French word meaning ‘ebbing tide’. Pretty much as soon as you enter Don’t Nod’s stunning new game, you realise why they gave it this name. The world is desolate, a place that once flourished with life has quite literally dried up as the ocean recedes, leaving a desert in its wake. Your task

#19 Super Mario Bros. Wonder- My first 2D Mario game!

Beat Your Backlog- Video Game Podcast ·

2023/11/06

Shocking, I know. As a kid I never grew up playing Mario games but tried to get into them as a teenager when the new 2D Super Mario Bros came out on the Nintendo DS. I never 'got' those games, they felt a little bit bland. . . so will Mario Wonder get me into 2D Mario games and is the game worth playing? Spoilers: YES! This game is fantastic, Wonder is up there with the quality of Odyssey, the humor of the Mario movie and the sense of joy that comes with exploring a magical world, like in

Nintendo came out and blew us away yesterday with their Mario mania Nintendo Direct. 2023 has gone from one of the weaker looking years for the Nintendo Switch to one of the strongest with the announcement of Super Mario Wonder, Super Mario RPG, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC and Pikmin 4.

Beat Your Backlog- Video Game Podcast ·

2023/05/31

Ravenlok is the new indie game from Cococucumber that debuted on Xbox Game Pass earlier this month. It's an action adventure game set within the lore of Alice in Wonderland but has its own unique story and gorgeous art style that makes this game one of the best looking indie games, ever. However, the game is lacking in some respects like its combat and quest system but if you have a few hours to spare, have Game Pass and need a break from Zelda, I suggest trying it out.

Beat Your Backlog- Video Game Podcast ·

2023/05/22

In this weeks episode I commit the worst crime imaginable- tax evasion- in Snoozy Kazoo's wonderful indie gem- Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion. The game is a 2D Zelda-like with stunning art, bags of character and a fantastic story, which ends up in a completely different place to where I was expecting. Plus, the game only takes 2-3 hours to beat, so if you are looking to take a break from Tears of the Kingdom, I would highly suggest trying this turnip out! Please remember to subscribe and leave

#13 Redfall Impressions and what is going on with Xbox?

Beat Your Backlog- Video Game Podcast ·

2023/05/04

13, unlucky for some. Maybe that's why I was so negative in this episode! I tried my hardest to play the most recent Xbox Game Studios release: Redfall. After about two hours I rage quit from the game and uninstalled it from my console. Redfall seems like a lot of good ideas taken from other games mixed into one but lacks any real focus, drive or direction. Its intriguing story and interesting location are marred by bad game design choices and the lack of the most basic gaming foundations like

2023/04/29

Today, I’m traveling back in time and rekindling my love for a real time strategy classic- Age of Empire II. As a teenager, I was obsessed with the original Age of Empires II. I spent hundreds of hours playing the game back on an old PC that my grandad built for me, and would experiment with every aspect of the game from the story campaigns to building my own maps. I even remember buying the PS2 port of the game and thinking what a waste of money it was because the mouse and keyboard controls had

In this episode I recap the recent Nintendo Indie World presentation and give me opinion on what indies coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2023 look the best! I remember these Indie World presentations used to be a huge deal when the Switch first released, back when they were called Nindie Presentations. So, I'm excited to see what indie games will becoming to the Nintendo Switch later this year. Want to discuss this game? If you're on Spotify answer the question below, if not, tweet me

In Dredge you play as a lonely fisherman, on a voyage to find better waters and greater prosperity in the isolated village of Greater Marrow. On your trip over the turbulent seas, your vessel gets lost in a deep and dense fog, leading you to crash on the jagged rocks below Great Marrow’s lighthouse. You survive the crash and are approached by the Mayor of the town, who is willing to sell you a broken and battered fishing vessel, in the agreement that you will sell fish to the local fishmonger.

Old McAdam had a farm. . . In this week's episode I pick up my hoe, pickaxe and scythe and head out to my Grandpa's old farm in Concerned Ape's Stardew Valley. It ain't much but it's honest work and I can't get enough of it in this game, it's so fun (and addictive) to play. Stardew Valley is arguably the best farming/life style sim there is and has surpassed games like Story of Seasons and Harvest Moon that inspired its maker Eric Barone. In this episode I explore why

2023/03/19

What did the the fox say? This week I review Andrew Shouldice and Finji’s Tunic on the Xbox. The game is a mixture off classic Zelda with a sprinkling of Souls-like sugar on top. What sets Tunic apart from other Zelda-likes is its innovative 'user manual' mechanic, which puts players in the shoes of a 90's gamer, playing an imported game in another language. However, as innovative as the game is, I felt like I liked it less the more it went on, find out why in this week's
