I’ve heard Baldr Sky referred to as a sci-fi masterpiece and a favorite visual novel more than once. Is it worth the 70-hour reading time? I found myself skeptical of this but was quickly absorbed after diving into its virtual world. Real Life Flame Wars Baldr Sky takes place in a world where AI is […]
