There's a Whole Lotta Story in Golf Story | Attacking the Backlog with Golf Story, Part 01

I didn't know what to play after Kena: Bridge of Spirits. I perused the various short lists I created and, when I got to my Switch, one game popped out at me: Golf Story. I had always been interested in Golf Story ever since it first came out to overall glowing reviews, but me and the Switch haven't had the best relationship, so, like many Switch games, I never got around to playing it. Fast-forward to now and things have finally changed. It shouldn't be a surprise, but there is a lot of story in Golf Story and the quality of that story is a, "Your mileage will vary," affair, but there's golf to be played as well and, if you want to know how I feel about either or both (so far), you best listen to this here first episode in my playthrough of Golf Story for the Nintendo Switch.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits: Part 02 - A Rough Finish, But Still Great in the End | Attack the Backlog

Things got a little rocky at the end. An annoying boss followed by another annoying boss almost soured the whole experience. Thankfully, the good of Kena greatly outweighs what little bad is there, so not much love was lost. There are things to nitpick and little ways they could have improved this or that, but what's there is a solid experience that doesn't overstay its welcome and leaves me excited to see what Ember Lab does next. If you want a fun adventure with a well-told story and beautiful art, you'll get that and more with Kena: Bridge of Spirits.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits: Part 01 - Off to a Great Start | Attack the Backlog

Kena: Bridge if Spirits is a game I've been wanting to play ever since it was announced. I was so excited for it, I bought it on PlayStation 4. But as we all know, there is only so much time and we can only play one game at a time, so Kena ended up where 99% of my games end up: the backlog. Then, when I had the time and had the desire, a curveball appeared: Kena was announced for Xbox. "What?" I somehow got it into my head that Kena was a console exclusive. I was wrong. So with this news I waited, waited for the Xbox release to finally arrive and, well, here we are; was it worth the wait? Watch or listen to find out. (It's not like the title gives the answer away or anything...)

Destiny 2 - Attack the Backlog

The title says it all. While Destiny 2 may have been a great game at launch and may still be great for those who went along for the ride these last seven years, it is not great for new players. If you're coming to Destiny 2 fresh--or in my case, after not playing for somewhere between six and seven years--you will be met with the same opening tutorial that was there from day one, but everything after that is a confusing mess of, "What should I do next? What's that thing there? What are all these menus?" and so on. There may be worse examples out there, but Destiny 2 is easily one of the worst games at onboarding new players I've played in years, maybe ever.
