Ive written a lot ofreviews of video gamesin my life.

That was a joke.

Ive been writing reviews ever since I playedResident Evil 4for the first time as a freshman in high school.

That was also a joke.

Enter Backloggd, the website and app whose entire premise is as simple as Letterboxd but for video games.

Its taken over my life for the last six months.

Its a fun exercise in changing up the format for how I think about gaming discussions.

Alternatively, Backloggd is a great place for anyone looking to practice their long-form reviews.

Its a wonderful place to write reviews without worrying about what anyone else thinks.

The change Ive had in my relationship to gaming isnt unique to people who work jobs surrounding the hobby.

The app is a nice reminder of why I like gaming as a communal activity.
