We as gamers sometimes like to pick single pieces of games apart, instead of enjoying the whole experience. This part is too slow, this is too fast, this single feature is annoying and so on. Reading online about Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave shows me that especially many old

The Blood of Dawnwalker Review: Witcher as a Vampire

The Witcher 3 but with Vampires? This pretty much describes most of the Blood of Dawnwalker really well. However the developer Rebel Wolves does dare to try new things with this new IP. Most of them pay off but sadly they didn't go far enough to achieve true
