The Backlogs

The Backlogs produces gameplay-focused videos that test and demonstrate unconventional, self-imposed challenge runs in video games. Recurring formats include "How to Beat..." and "Can You Beat...?" playthroughs using strict restrictions (weapon-type limits, pacifist runs, no-vendor/no-multiplayer variants, pet-only runs) and strategy-focused walkthroughs, with a particular emphasis on Soulslike titles (notably Dark Souls 1) and experimental runs of other indie/AAA games. Occasional videos provide news or commentary on recent game updates.
