Review Lorelei And The Laser Eyes (Switch) - An Excellent Puzzle-Filled Homage To Resident Evil
The Eyes have it
It’s fair to say at this point that Annapurna Interactive has one hell of an eye for a good game. A laser eye, if you will. The odd stumble aside – Twelve Minutes was a bit rubbish and the likes of Last Stop and Open Roads were perfectly fine, but not quite masterpieces – for the most part, Annapurna has an exceptional track...
