Video Game Round-Up! - July/August 2020


Welcome to another Video Game Round-Up! I played a bunch of video games this month, almost all of which I’ve never written about before! A whole bunch of new games! Five of the new games are on this list because of a weekly “show” I’ve started on my YouTube channel, called Adan Plays Through His Backlog (every Wednesday!). I technically only started it this month with Action Henk (PS4) and Aegis Defenders (PS4), but I grandfathered in last month’s Yakuza Kiwami (PS4) stream in as Episode 0. Basically, this show is a way for me to play a bunch of games I own, but have never touched before (some of which I’ve owned for years, and am embarrassed I’ve yet to play). Some of these games I will continue playing on my own time to complete, others I’ll never touch again, and others still I will return to at some point in the future, but not any time soon (like Yakuza Kiwami :P ). With the exception of the grandfathered Yakuza Kiwami, I’m playing these games in alphabetical order.

The other two new games this month are games I’m playing live on stream: Ghost of Tsushima (PS4) and Paper Mario: The Origami King (Switch) (12 episodes in on both). Basically, I’m streaming a lot, and you should subscribe and watch and give all the videos a like (that’s what the kids are saying, right?).

But enough about that, let’s get to the games!
