Blasphemous (PS4)

"Never read the comments" is the unofficial creed of the Internet. It's bound to bring you misery and unhappiness. And so it cast me into the depths of …

Tom Clancy's Skull and Bones 2022-07-13 — Vincent Leeuw

Tom Clancy's Skull and Bones

I absolute adore branding in video games. It’s one of the main reasons why I rate the WipEout series as high as I do. I think I felt something close to love …
