Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun remains to be on my “to-do list”, I’ve solely gloriously cleansed a handful of ranges for The Emperor and actually need to end it. However, it was a stealth launch of H.R. Project Games GyroGunner, an sudden sequel to their extra vanilla however no much less stellar shmup GyroBlade that has my consideration this weekend. This time it is a twin-stick shooter affair with loads of bang for little or no buck. Don’t skip it, particularly when you like a superb reflexes problem and high-score chases.
Game of the week remains to be The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It has taken over my life. Spent practically twenty minutes alone each session scanning every day amiibo drops.

So to nobody’s shock, I’ll be diving again into the land of Hyrule but once more. Just like I do each weekend, and sure will do for the foreseeable future. Getting this misplaced in a Zelda recreation once more is pure bliss and I would not want it some other manner.
