#VideoGameBacklog "Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore" (Switch, 2024) is an amazing homage and spiritual successor to the awful CD-I Zelda games. The animation, voice, and characters are as bad as they should be, but the game is not just playable...it's fun! Thanks @seth.games & @limitedrungames.com!

I finally finished Lorelei! I have a physical notebook full of scribbles I can't post because of extreme spoilers, obv. #VideoGameBacklog
#VideoGameBacklog "Lorelei & the Laser Eyes" (PC, 2024) is an eerily captivating & stylish puzzle adventure where you explore a mysterious hotel, unraveling the past, present, & otherworldly. With minimal dialogue & a plethora of puzzles, it has the nostalgic charm of classics like 7th Guest.

#VideoGameBacklog "The Mr. Rabbit Magic Show" (PC, 2025) is a short, point-and-click escape-the-room puzzle game by @rustylake.com to celebrate their 10-year anniversary. It's free, weird, and fun. #indiegames

Twitter is dead and I'm finding lots of great folks on Bluesky, so I plan to re-post some of my old blurbs and screenshots for this crowd. I hope you all enjoy my micro-reviews of #indiegames, #retrogames, and even some larger productions.
Thanks for reading!

A few years ago, when I was having trouble deciding which game to play next, I chose to document all games I had a license for in a spreadsheet and begin tackling my backlog in alphabetical order. This became the #VideoGameBacklog project.

Hiya! I'm Ryan. I've been acquiring video games since the NES era. With the advent of digital distribution, bundles, and free "games of the month," my collection has increased to about 1500 titles.

#VideoGameBacklog "ΔV: Rings of Saturn" is a space mining sim by Kodera where you collect ore from within the ring field. It has good physics & autopilot mechanics (once you get used to them) yet it's still a little tricky to get those buggers in. #indiegaming

Such a good series! I played 1, 2, and a bit of 3. Currently, playing Ys Origin as part of my #VideoGameBacklog effort.
Also, I still want a TG16 for this release.

#VideoGameBacklog "Zombie Night Terror" (PC, 2016) is: what if Lemmings but you're spreading a zombie apocalypse instead helping cute creatures get home? I want to like this game by NoClip. The level designs and actions are interesting, but it gets frustratingly tough quickly. #indiegames

#VideoGameBacklog "Yooka-Laylee" (PC, 2017) is a well-known action platformer from former Rare folk, and for good reason! The characters, models, scenery, and controls are spot on. Worth a romp if you have it.

#VideoGameBacklog "What Remains of Edith Finch" (PC, 2017) is a walking simulator by genre but an extremely artistic story in reality. The game is short and dark, as if Edward Gorey created a 3D visual novel, and is worth at least one playthrough. #indiegames

#VideoGameBacklog "Yoku's Island Express" (PC, 2018) is an adorable mix of platforming, exploration, and pinball! This is a gem from Villa Gorilla and you should play it for the art, music, design, characters...and pinball.

#VideoGameBacklog "X-Morph: Defense" (PC, 2017) is a tower defense game but you also control a highly maneuverable alien craft. Building/strategy and attack waves are separate, but you fight & can build during the wave. Art is pretty good and, overall, it's a fun take on the genre. #indiegames

#VideoGameBacklog "Wonder Boy" (PC, 2017) is a beautiful remake of an old Sega platform adventure…but level design, attacking, and collisions are still frustrating. Worth playing for the art & music though, plus, retro toggles for each! #indiegames #retrogames

#VideoGameBacklog "Wizard of Legend" (PC, 2018) is a fast-paced action game with wizardry. Enemies hit hard and, without much healing, grinding feels required from the outset. Arcana cooldowns are a bit tough to gauge in this mostly excellent game. Pixel art and jazz music are amazing! #indiegames

#VideoGameBacklog "The Witness" (PC, 2016) is an artistic 1st-person environmental puzzle game. The puzzles are interesting but get repetitive. However, the brilliant colors & models of the world provide incentive for progression. There's not much going on, but that's the beauty of it. #indiegames

#VideoGameBacklog "Where is my Heart?" (PC, 2014) is a pleasant puzzle platformer. Find hearts & get 3 characters to the exit, switching between them at will. Each has a special ability, like rotating panels, allowing progression. Try it for a casual, interesting, experience 💕 #indiegames
