V-Commandos, One Of My Favorite Board Games, Is Getting A Fancy Upgrade
30.3.2021
I’ve written multiple times about V-Commandos on the site, a tactical WW2 stealth game made by some Ubisoft guys that is very good.

Nier Replicant Gets Off To A Really Slow Start
29.3.2021
After playing and being thoroughly wrecked by Nier: Automata, I was curious if Nier: Replicant ver.1.22474487139… the “version up” (since according to the developers it’s not a remake or a remaster) of the original Nier would inspire similar emotional devastation. I have dim memories of the first...
