LEGO 2K Drive: Part 02 - Thank God I Only Had 2 Hours Left and Not 2K | Attack the Backlog

Well, I thought I had more time left than was actually the case. With only an hour and a half left to complete the story, I couldn't just stand and say that was enough for the final episode of this backlog attack. Being the considerate person I am, I went ahead and spent an additional hour and a half going after collectibles and completing every side race and side quest I found during my exploration. It was miserable. You're welcome.

LEGO 2K Drive: Part 01 - These Bricks Are Making Me Thirsty | Attack the Backlog

Nothing like a random Seinfeld reference to start off a new Attack the Backlog series. As evident by the title, this new series is all about LEGO 2K Drive--aka LEGO Forza Horizon (even though there are LEGO expansions for Forza Horizon so it's kind of already been done, but also not, but also yes, and now I've gone cross-eyed, to make another random reference). I could keep fooling around, but I know you're all dying to find out what I think of LEGO 2K Drive, so without further ado...

System Shock: Part 04 - In the End It Was Still Great, but Not GREAT Great | Attack the Backlog

I made a bit of a mistake committing to make this week's episode the last episode, "forcing" myself to play the game for almost 13 hours. This led to pushing through frustrating times when a break would have been welcome and a need of crunching when it came to recording, editing, and posting this here episode. Did this commitment completely ruin my experience? Not at all; however, I do think it soured it a bit more than it would have been normally. That said, in spite of some bloat, poor boss fights, a bad ending, and a few console-related issues, I still had a great time with System Shock; it just ended up as more of an 8 great than a 9 great.

System Shock: Part 03 - Don't Push the Button, Except When You Must Push Button | Attack the Backlog

You know that feeling when you push a button and accidentally kill millions of people on Earth, so you don't push the button until you know you won't accidentally kill millions of people on Earth and then you forget about the button you didn't push but can push now if only you remembered the button was there just waiting to be pushed? You know, a regular Saturday night... That's this week's episode in a nutshell. There's also a giant spider mech, super boots, and skulls in diving suit helmets, but who's counting, eh...

System Shock: Part 02 - Even When Roombas Attack, I Love It and That's a Fact | Attack the Backlog

Unlike The Ascent, there were no 180s this week with System Shock; I'm still loving the game. Sure, it's not perfect--Cyberspace continues to frustrate and annoy, and combat in general hasn't changed all that much--but the story, world-building, and general sense of discovery and tension are all excellent, keeping me invested and engaged in this world I'm bummed to leave when I have to eat or sleep. You know it's a good sign when you want to keep playing when you call it a night.
