20 Comments on This Week in Gaming (Week 47)
Being a fan of turn-based tactics, my other choice is Forgotten but Unbroken. The inclusion of new mechanics sounds promising, and the fact that the characters speak their native language adds to the realism.
There was another game that appeared to have a bigger following, but it was a card based rougelike and those games are never popular here.
Support Your Local Software Developers?
so maybe when i get some newer more powerful hardware and when its 50% off
However i will be waiting to buy it and se what reviews and people buying it say first. To many games these days comes with to many bugs and problems. I will not support badly optimized games, not before it is fixed at least.
thought of this vid
I wouldn't want to smell of Caesium either lol
