Planet of Lana II (PC) – Review

It’s been 3 years since the release of Planet of Lana, and occasionally, I am still thinking about it when I see the odd side-scrolling puzzle platformer in that Inside-vein. A few years on, Wishfully and Thunderful Publishing are back with another…

David’s Backlog Busting: They Are Billions (PC) Preview
