Cat Quest is an adorable and fun RPG

For some reason, Cat Quest has never been on my radar. I first discovered the game late last year when I saw a physical copy, but it slipped my mind soon after. After watching the trailer for Cat Quest 2, I decided to pick up the first one, which was on sale on PSN. After…

Shelved games: Why I gave up on Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization

After acquiring Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization (SAO:HR) last year, I have finally scratched the game from my backlog. To be more accurate, I gave up on the game at a meagre 59 hours in. Yes, that is a long time to realise I no longer want to play a title. What is Sword Art…

My Yakuza series journey begins (or has it begun?)

Last week, I decided to pick up Yakuza 6: The Song of Life on PlayStation 4 as an early birthday present for myself. I've been playing through Yakuza 0 for the past year and it converted me into a fan of the series – so much so that I went on to pre-ordered Yakuza Kiwami,…

Mobile Suit Gundam: Target in Site is mecha porn

Mobile Suit Gundam (MSG) has always been a fascinating property to me. Even though it was never shown in South Africa during its US and UK 80s/90s heydays, it was something I always caught whiffs of. Model kit photos here, anime music videos (AMVs) there, and even a PlayStation game or two. When I heard…

New purchases: more Dragon Quest! (29 October)

Thanks to my previous day job and after-hours freelance obligations, I didn't have time to write something new for MyBakclog. Now that I'm at a new company and have a lot more free time in the evenings, it's time for a new post! This also means it's going to be a bumper pickups article. Upgrading…
