Galaxy on Fire 2/PC/Reviews/RPG/space

Galaxy on Fire 2 HD is a space flight/ RPG hybrid whose origins are remarkable – the conversion of a rather fun smartphone game into the expansive jungle world of PC. It’s stunningly beautiful, if slightly vapid in its storyline, and Galaxy 2 has a relaxing, elegant appeal about it.…
