AP as Larry
Once upon a time, traditional JRPGs were ten a penny. Even a few generations ago we were inundated with riffs on that very familiar formula, from Shadow Hearts to Shin Megami Tensei and beyond.

News Overpass Brings Off-Road Simulation To Switch This October
Hit the skids in buggies and quads
