It’s been another miserable week weather-wise, and things haven’t been very cheery in the gaming industry either. This week saw a number of upcoming games being delayed, and the big release of Cities Skylines 2 was marred by performance issues.
On the flip side, we had a bunch of reviews, including the hotly anticipated Alan Wake 2 had a far better release, so let’s dive in!
