Morbid: The Seven Acolytes (PC) Review

Warning: This article contains mild spoilers for Morbid: The Seven Acolytes. Sinking my teeth into Morbid: The Seven Acolytes at the tail end of workdays or on weekends felt like marrying Bloodborne with Diablo. However, it added some new sprinklings that, to developer…

Orwell’s Animal Farm (PC) Review
