Hood: Outlaws & Legends Is Like Most Robin Hood Movies: Destined to be Forgotten | The Last Call

Welcome, everyone, to a brand new show: The Last Call. (I technically called it Attack the Backlog because I recorded this episode before coming up with the new name, but every episode forward will be correctly branded). What is The Last Call? It's really quite simple: The Last Call is a show all about games that have received their final papers, their death sentence, the final nail in the coffin, however you want to phrase it, and are not long for this world; this can be due to being delisted, having their servers shut down, or any other finality in between. This inaugural episode is all about Hood: Outlaws & Legends, a PvPvE heist game that feels more like a mode in a full game than a full game on its own. The real question, though, is will Hood: Outlaws & Legends be remembered for everything it did, or forgotten for everything it didn't.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Just Keeps Going and Going and Going | Part 02 | Attack the Backlog

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was good...until it wasn't. That's not entirely true. It never got bad, per se, it just went on and on for way too long, wearing out its welcome multiple times over. The real kicker, though--the thing that made me go from liking Survivor to (kind of) hating it--is the story--one specific aspect in particular. I won't spoil anything in this text description, but the same can't be said about this episode, so if you don't want to be spoiled, avoid this until you've played the game yourself. All I'll say is, when one character turned out to be bad, I wasn't surprised; however, when something else happened, you better believe I was surprised (and not in a good way).

Big Helmet Heroes Is My First Favorite Game of 2025 | The Pixelated Sausage Show

This week's episode starts off with some recent not great BioWare news, along with some general EA chatter (and even more Animezingly Baka thoughts), before getting to what I've been playing with Sniper Elite: Resistance, Big Helmet Heroes, ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist, and Techno Banter. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Is Mostly the Same and That's Okay | Part 01 | Attack the Backlog

Thanks in large part to my Star Wars rewatch journey of 2025, but also because I overall enjoyed my time with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, I returned to Cal Kestis and his adventures in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. While a lot of things are the same, there are key differences that make Survivor feel like its own game, including much larger and open areas, fast travel (thank god), and a better and more interesting cast of characters, as well as just a fleshing out the characters we met in Fallen Order. We'll see if Survivor manages to top Fallen Order when all is said and done, but, for now, so far so good.

Dreamcore Wasn't the Dream I Was Looking For | The Pixelated Sausage Show

This week's episode starts off with a bunch of Sony news--including the cancellation of two more live service games--and some sad Animezingly Baka news, before getting to what I've been playing with Dreamcore, Mika and The Witch's Mountain, Songs of Silence, and Popotinho's Adventures. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day.

It Always Felt Wrong and Never Right, So I Just Beat It | Hi-Fi Rush - Part 02

Surprising no one, my opinion of Hi-Fi Rush didn't change since the last episode; if anything, it got worse. I still think it's a very pretty game, but at no point did I enjoy playing it. The worst part, though, is how disappointing the soundtrack is; in a game all about integrating music and gameplay, more is rightfully expected and Tango Gameworks failed to deliver and great and memorable soundtrack, forever keeping Hi-Fi Rush in a meadow of mediocrity.

Chai Must Have Too Much Junk in His Trunk With How Heavy He Jumps | Hi-Fi Rush - Part 01

Hi-Fi Rush is soooo pretty. Everything about it from an artistic standpoint is some of the best I've seen in a video game in years. That's why it pains me to say the rest of the game disappoints; from the music selection to the gameplay and everything in between, everything else in Hi-Fi Rush fails to reach the same heights as the art and animation. Things could change since I'm only halfway through, but I'm not expecting much despite hoping for the opposite.
