My backlog is on hold due to unfortunate health circumstances. I sure hope I get better soon! laugh track

My writing quality has also declined as a result. I plan on updating reviews later on.

I'm mainly focusing on games that I wouldn't normally have the time or interest to play in the meantime (primarily titles with an 85+ metacritic or OpenCritic score that weren't on my radar). That's not to suggest that I value the opinions of game journalists or that they're good at their job (Iol). I've found that Backlogd scores are much more in line with reality.

Games that have a better version lose half a star.

The performance issues on modern hardware are horrific and the third-party fix appears to be unavailable. For $10, they could at least make sure it works... It seems like a run-of-the-mill RTS from what I played (which wasn't much.)

Did you know that this game has $233 worth of paid DLC? Don't worry, though; it's not necessary, so that makes it OK ;)

World's most bland and lethargic twin-stick shooter. This whole series is cursed.
