May 19, 2017 by Alexander Young

It’s been a long time since I’ve fallen in love with a game: far too many games I’ve played of late have had the spectre of flaws too annoying for the virtues of the game to shine through and obviate them; far too many games I’ve played of late have felt without heart, without something … [Read more…]
