Welcome back to another look into the near future! The month of horror is upon us once again… and I have a strong suspicion that the game release schedule will be the most dreadful, terrifying abomination the world will see this month (come on, Putin, Xi… prove me wrong!).
After years of relative dormancy, shovelware really came roaring back onto the scene last month, and it’s EVEN WORSE...
