This week’s testing highlights: 15 games across Epic, GOG, Amazon, itch.io storefronts, including Alan Wake II running flawlessly and Spaß Taxi as a cool find in our itch.io library. 14 games work perfectly out of the box!
Kia ora Everyone!
It’s Labour Weekend here in New Zealand and we’re keeping our fingers crossed the weather cooperates! Big news this week: our niece Ella arrived just a couple of days ago, and she’s the cutest thing ever (even if we are all a little biased). Between us and her dad, she’s going to become a well-rounded gamer for sure!
This week’s testing session was particularly fun. I couldn’t pass up the amazing deals GOG had on the Alan Wake games. Both were on sale and have been on my wishlist forever, so I finally pulled the pin and added them to my collection. Can’t wait to dive in! Here’s what I’ve been testing this week.
