The second of today's two reviews is on Kaboose's 2005 Transylmania.

PLEASEIAMBEGGING's review of Transylmania | Backloggd
The superior of the two original Transylmania games, this one really pushes the limits of my love for simplicity. You grab villagers from behind or jump on their heads before making your way to the ex...

PLEASEIAMBEGGING's review of Transylmania II: The Vampire Bites Back! | Backloggd
There are at least two versions of Transylmania 2 that I am aware of. The most obvious difference between the two is that, in one version, you shoot some green energy and, in another, you kick enemies...

What can I say about After Burner II that hasn’t already been said a thousand times before? I can appreciate some of the fundamental design choices, but the wobbly camera makes the game far too nausea...

PLEASEIAMBEGGING's review of Baldur's Gate III | Backloggd
The combat, exploration, story, and character writing of Baldur’s Gate 3 ultimately felt unrewarding to me. To start with combat, I found the game far too easy, even on honour mode. There are a handfu...

Part of the reason I wanted to review RoboCop 2 is because it’s a really interesting kind of bad game for me. I like games where you play as a slow person, shooting and dodging slow-moving projectiles...
