About this listen

Is your gaming backlog out of control? You're not alone! In this episode of No More Respawns, we confess our gaming sins and dive deep into our ever-growing "piles of shame." We're talking about all the legendary games we own but have never finished, including massive RPGs like Baldur's Gate 3, Final Fantasy 7, and Hogwarts Legacy, as well as classics like The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Silent Hill 2, and the Kingdom Hearts collection. Find out which of us has over 1200 games waiting in their Steam library!

Of course, we're also covering what we have been playing. Get Ben's first impressions of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD on the Switch 2, including the hilarious co-op chaos. We also discuss Ryan finally beating the story in Kingdom Come: Deliverance and starting Chapter 3 of Deltarune.

In the news, we talk about the announcement of Grounded 2, Ryan's desire to finally tackle the Death Stranding series, and getting accepted into Nintendo's official Playtest Program. Stick around for Ben's wild vacation stories from Cancun and our thoughts on playing retro classics like Mario Paint on the SNES Nintendo Switch Online app.

Let us know the most embarrassing game on your backlog in the comments!
