This week's testing highlights: 23 games across Epic, GOG, Amazon storefronts — including cool finds like Heaven Dust 2, Faraway: Director's Cut and The Darkside Dective which all work out of the box.
Kia ora Everyone!
This week I’ve been working through my Amazon library backlog. Didn’t quite finish, but only have a few games left. Next up, I’m planning to focus more on itch.io titles since we’ve got a solid collection waiting to be tested.
We’re currently on the mainland house-sitting for my sister, which gives us a chance to knock out some city errands before Christmas. We’ll head back to our boat for a bit, then return to spend Christmas with my parents.
Alright, let’s dive into this week’s testing results.
