This week's testing highlights: 18 games across Epic, GOG, Amazon, itch.io storefronts — including interesting and cool finds like Minabo: A Walk Through Life and Sky Rogue both work out of the box.
G’day Everyone!
This week’s post is a bit late - we took a quick trip to Auckland for a friend’s 50th on Saturday. Great excuse to get Eben off the boat and enforce a Junk Store break! We caught up with friends on a stunning summer day. Looks like summer has finally arrived!
Hope everyone had a great weekend, and for those who celebrated Thanksgiving, that you enjoyed quality time with loved ones!
