This week's testing highlights: 20 games across Epic, GOG, itch.io storefronts — including cool finds like Cassette Beasts, Arlo the Rabbit and Sector 781 all work out of the box.
G’day Everyone!
We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Ours was pretty chill, spent time with family, ate lots and just had a relaxing few days! Best part was the weather came through and we had a stunner of a summer day here in NZ! The rain soon followed, but looks like it’s clearing out in time for New Year’s!
We wish all of you the best heading into the New Year! Wherever you are in the world, have an amazing New Year celebration!
