"Coolest" negative review for THRESHOLD yet.
More seriously there has been a lot of great reviews for the game lately and I think most of you know by now how critical it is to game to get reviewed by their players.
So if you have a spare 30 seconds on your hand... 🥺🙏

I just played through It Takes A War. Something that I want to recommend but also can say very little about without spoiling it.
I will say that it's a short narrative experience (under an hour) about playing a few rounds of Counter-Strike with some very ordinary people.
It gave me feelings.
