Ant-Man And The Was...

Platforms: PlayStation 5 (version reviewed), PC Genre: Action-adventure with open-world fantasy land to magic parkour in.

Platform(s): PC (version reviewed), PS4, Nintendo Switch Genre: Adventure game set in 90s rural Indonesia It's rare to see a January video game title at the start of a year to captivate and entice my jaded palette, much less one made by a small studio that took 7 years and even went through some publisher kerfuffle last year. Yet here we are: M...
