Pillars of Eternity 2 is an absolute must-buy!

Posted on May 8, 2018 by SynCaine

Posted on April 24, 2018 by SynCaine

Two games came out today that I’m interested in, yet I haven’t pull the trigger on. The first is Battletech, which is a TBS title with a Sci-Fi setting. The other is Frostpunk, a steampunk-themed city builder (I think?) from … Continue reading →
