Review by Matt S. Atelier is pure comfort. Gust releases new titles in this series at a truly astounding rate, and Atelier Lulua is actually the second to land in the first half of 2019 alone. It doesn’t matter how frequently these things get churned out though, because they always…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Moero Chronicle is Idea Factory at its most Idea Factory.
