Review: Cult Of The Lamb (PC)

August 11, 2022

Devolver Digital/PC/Reviews

Religion is one of those topics you’re never meant to discuss in polite society. When it comes to video games, it’s one that’s historically either been airbrushed out of games to avoid offence, or dealt with in very broad brush strokes to define it away from existing real-world religious groups.…

August 9, 2022

Indie/JRPG/Nintendo Switch/Reviews
