6 Comments on This Week in Gaming (Week 7)
The Tomb Raider remaster gets added to my unending "games to play" list. I only completed The Revelations, and never tried the other two.
I put 7 hours into classic battlefront 1 and 2 yesterday, and OG destroy all humans 2. Sadly there will be little gaming time for the next 2 weeks, so I doubt ill pick anything up.
it's the only one i could consider this week, specially after reading the early reviews of civ 7 that got enshitified
