Despite Hype, Former Skyrim Mod The Forgotten City Is Kind Of A Mess
9.9.2021
There is a special joy to a B game. B games are weird and messy and overly ambitious. Their reach exceeds their grasp, and I mean that as a positive trait. They are the games which stick with you in half-remembered fragments, or inexplicably vivid portraits. The Forgotten City is nothing if not a...
