Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!

It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!

Just finished Clair Obscur. This should be fun.

More hyped for CoD 2026.
IW's at helm. Supposedly doing an engine evolution similar to MW'19. Evident by the current-gen only rumors.
