Been a little while since my last one of these. Each month, Krikket send out the call in the Blaugust Discord for those who might be interested in doing a quick impressions piece, like this one, on one of the…
I’ve been waiting to play Distant Worlds 2 for a long time. I might even say that I’ve been waiting for it since Distant Worlds 1. And, uh, I didn’t play that one either. With a game like Distant Worlds,…
