The Witcher Sirens Of The Deep is only the second Netflix animated spinoff movie after 2021's The Witcher Nightmare Of The Wolf (check out our review here).

Platform(s): PS5 (version reviewed), Xbox Series X | S, PS4, Xbox One, PC Genre: Dark Metroidvania Here at Kakuchopurei, we occasionally miss out on covering certain games, and Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights was, regrettably, one of them.

Fortunately, somewhere along the way duri...
