I’ve never played mini golf in my life. The closest I’ve been to the real thing has been through video games like Gummy Bears Mini Golf. Unfortunately, video games like Gummy Bears Mini Golf don’t make me want to go out and play the real thing with friends or family……

PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Puzzle Game/Quell Memento/Reviews

It’s not often that I get hooked into a puzzle game because of its story, let alone because its story elements are more intriguing than the actual gameplay itself, but that’s exactly what happened with Quell Memento. The first thing I did after the game kicked off was to touch…
