The Longing-ist Playthrough: Day 79 – 20/03/22 – 166 Days, 19 Minutes and 59 Seconds to go…

23 March, 2022 - 10:25 pm

I didn't expect a lot for Day 79, and that's exactly what I got. Monty would be trapped in the room until almost midnight, so there wasn't much time for anything other than setting my little buddy free... Monty cut... read more

The Longing-ist Playthrough: Day 78 – 19/03/22 – 167 Days, 17 Hours, 13 Minutes and 24 Seconds to go…

20 March, 2022 - 11:49 pm

After a frustrating and fruitless two day search for the hidden door, I was running out of ideas on how to move forwards. I was all about to start retreading old ground (again) when a chance observation led me to... read more

The Longing-ist Playthrough: Day 77 – 18/03/22 – 205 Days, 6 Hours, 40 Minutes and 36 Seconds to go…

19 March, 2022 - 11:38 pm

After falling asleep at the wheel and not achieving much yesterday, save crossing a few places off my hit list for the hidden door, Day 77 was much of the same. Monty and I began to scour the kingdom from... read more

The Longing-ist Playthrough: Day 76 – 16/03/22 – 205 Days, 18 Hours, 54 Minutes and 32 Seconds to go…

18 March, 2022 - 5:32 pm

While I managed to get back on the horse and stay on it, I didn't manage to check in on Monty until late and it wasn't especially productive... in fact, I may have fallen asleep while we were searching for... read more

The Longing-ist Playthrough: Day 75 – 15/03/22 – 219 Days, 19 Hours, 43 Minutes and 37 Seconds to go…

16 March, 2022 - 11:16 pm

Returning beneath the mountain with an agenda was refreshing - Monty and I had something to focus on and work towards rather than just ambling around without a clue. Little did we know that we'd make a huge discovery and... read more

The Longing-ist Playthrough: Days 40-73 – 09/02/22 – 14/03/22

15 March, 2022 - 8:49 pm

Ok, people - it's terrible admission time. It's been about a month since I set eyes on Monty and, truth be told - I feel pretty guilty about it šŸ˜…. Between a flurry of PR reviews, a birthday and a... read more

9 February, 2022 - 10:53 pm

Following my little 'oopsie-daisy' with the time yesterday, I certainly hoped that Day 39 would give me the chance to wait beneath the well in the daytime, in case the old man came to draw water. Little did I know... read more

The Longing-ist Playthrough: Day 38 – 07/02/22 – 293 Days, 9 Hours, 59 Minutes and 13 Seconds to go…

8 February, 2022 - 10:01 pm

Okay... it's embarrassing admission time. Day 38 was a busy one in real life and I completely forgot that I needed to check in on Monty during his daytime hours... When I turned on my Switch at almost midnight in... read more

The Longing-ist Playthrough: Day 37 – 06/02/22 – 294 Days, 13 Hours, 10 Minutes and 21 Seconds to go…

7 February, 2022 - 10:37 pm

Berserk Boy

5 March, 2024 - 4:00 pm reviewed on:

In a month where I celebrated my 40th birthday, Iā€™ve been looking back over a lot of things, including video games. Itā€™s strange to think that Iā€™ve now been wielding a controller for probably three-quarters of my life, and how... read more

Pocket Bravery

Dredge: The Pale Reach DLC

16 January, 2024 - 6:49 pm reviewed on:

When Black Salt Gamesā€™ tremendous horror-fishing title, Dredge, sailed onto all major platforms in 2023, it hailed the release of a game with perhaps the least likely combination of genres. The sedate pace belied the sinister Lovecraftian horrors beneath, making... read more

Originally released on the PSP way back in 2012, The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails is an action-RPG from stalwarts of the RPG genre, Nihon Falcom. Something of a spin-off of their Legend of Heroes and Trails series, Boundless Trails... read more

Another World

27 October, 2023 - 8:25 pm reviewed on:

Itā€™s weird that Another World makes an appearance on Beat the Backlog, as it was only a few weeks ago that I was telling our Tom (prior to his excellent video review) that the gameplay shown in Jump Shipā€™s trailer... read more

Oxenfree II: Lost Signals

17 September, 2023 - 11:25 pm reviewed on:

While I absolutely love something you can pick-up-and-play, you simply cannot beat a game that draws you in with the strength of great storytelling and atmosphere: those games that grab you by the soft parts and donā€™t let go, giving... read more

VGamingIndies: Vol 5

29 November, 2022 - 6:19 pm

We donā€™t need to tell you that a lot of video games are being released every week and a lot of games simply go under the radar. Indie games in particular are often developed by small teams, usually without a... read more
