Alphabet Backlog Challenge 2024

Trying out the alphabet thingy for 2025. Here’s the tentative list of games I’ll be playing, with a few extra alternatives in case I’m not able to play the main one for whatever reason.

  • A - Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp
  • B - Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon (Backup: Bugsnax)
  • C - Crosscode
  • D - Dark Deity (Backup: Danganronpa)
  • E - Everhood
  • F - Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light
  • G - Gauntlet (Backup: Guacamelee)
  • H - Homebody
  • I - Ikari Warriors (Backup: Ikaruga)
  • J - Jet Force Gemini
  • K - Kero Blaster
  • L - Lego Marvel Super Heroes
  • M - Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
  • N - Night in the Woods
  • O - Outer Wilds
  • P - Persona 5 (Backup: Psychonauts)
  • Q - Quake (Backup: Quasimorph)
  • R - Rayman Legends
  • S - Songs of Conquest (Backup: Stray)
  • T - Touhou Luna Nights
  • U - Umineko When They Cry (Still dont have a backup but I’m actively looking for one because it’s the only U game in my backlog but it’s like 200 hours long someone help me holy hell)
  • V - Valkyria Chronicles
  • W - Warcraft 3
  • X - Xenoblade Chronicles (Backup: X-Men: Children of the Atom)
  • Y - Ys Origin
  • Z - The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages / Oracle of Seasons (Zombie Panic in Wonderland)

Ended up filling the list with a lot of extremely long games (which is the main reason they were in my backlog to begin with), but I think I should still be able to get it done. We’ll see how it goes :slight_smile:

For a U backup, I strongly recommend Ufouria 1 or 2. Both are great. The first one has an excellent Switch version called “Hebereke: Enjoy Edition” for dirt cheap. Also Until Dawn and Uncharted if you haven’t played those. PS4 version for Until Dawn, skip the shitty “remaster”.

Also, you should find an entry that starts with a number or special character. ;D 13 Sentinels? .hack//GU: Last Recode? 3 Ninjas Kick Back? So many options!

Hi all, I’ve created an official 2025 thread for the alphabet challenge and renamed this one to reflect that it’s the 2024 challenge. This will help us keep the lists nice distinct and easily searchable once we have decades of challenges in here :wink:

You can find the 2025 thread at the following link:
