It has been over a month since my last post. Couple of reasons for this. Firstly, I’ve had a few issues with my computer, which, by the fact that I’m writing this, you can see I’ve managed to sort. Secondly, I’ve spen…
I usually start my long reviews with a little atmospheric, story-like intro, and whilst this game certainly lends itself to such, I thought an explanation of what’s to come would be better suited. You see, this didn’t…
