What We Played #643 – Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Crisis Core & Helldivers 2
thesixthaxis.comIt’s been a miserable week for people that like weather that isn’t just varying amounts of rain, though the odd bit of hail has helped to add a little variety to proceedings.

He’d rattled through Ultros and Regency Solitaire II for review last week, and has now rolled into The Thaumaturge and Pacific Drive, but he’s also been dealing with a temperamental PC that’s made reviewing rather tricky…
