Read MoreI’ve never really been into the Warhammer 40,000 universe, aside from a few video game entries here and there; but would be lying if I said I wasn’t interested in the lore.

Read MoreI had played Tunic when it was released back in March of 2022, but must admit, I never really gave it the chance it deserved. I definitely liked it but simply didn’t put enough time into it in order to uncover its deeper notes and nuances. A year later, Tunic is one of the best […]

Read MoreI’m a sucker for magic and fantasy as much as the next guy.

Its repetitive encounters and linear […]

The art style and cooperative […]
