I didn’t love the Knuckles show, but as a long-time Sonic fan, one of its six episodes stuck out to me for a few reasons.

Destiny 2 Is Reversing Its Most Controversial Change
25.4.2024

25.4.2024
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the second part of Square Enix’s massive FF7 remake trilogy, is a game filled with many heroes. Folks like Cloud, Barret, Aerith, that cat thing.
