This meant that, in some cases, actors were playing the same character for years at a time, across various updates and rewrites, seeing their stories through until the very end.

Summary Maybe it’s the color palette, maybe it’s the sheer amount of interesting legends and ghost stories to draw from, or maybe there’s something else entirely that draws us to Japanese horror, but regardless of the reason, we always seem to crave just one more Japanese ghost story to send our heart rates through the roof. The Nintendo Switch is no stranger to these types of games, thankfully, but without a horror game section on the eShop, the great majority of prospective players are left scrambling in the dark without so much as a flashlight to point them in the right direction....

I was just taking a look back at all the times I’ve begged people to play Destiny 2 over the years, and there’s a lot. I said itback in February when The Story So Far hit Humble Bundle. I wrote inmy review for The Witch Queenthat if you weren’t playing Destiny 2 right now you were missing a special moment in time, and boy, that sure aged well. I talkedmy colleague with very good taste into starting Destiny 2 for the first time- they didn’t stick with it, but I tried....
