When I first sat down to play Desperados III, I knew roughly what to expect. A real-time tactics game with an emphasis on stealth and clever execution of your squad’s abilities. However, what I was not expecting, was just how engrossing this game would be. Literally hours of my day would pass before my eyes as […]

One of Many Faces The Nintendo Switch is a melting pot of indie titles, many of which are pretty awful but contribute to the successful smothering of legitimately good games.
