Acronymphomania is running wild this week. (That doesn’t work for me, brother – HH)
Things we missed last week: Apico, the beekeeping RPG, dropped at the end of the week.
The second of a couple of weeks before The Gauntlet 2022, it starts with a few interesting indie titles. Time on Frog Island is a good relaxation game, while there’s a couple of smaller RPG entries with Pascal’s Wager and XEL, or if you prefer quirky side-scrollers WayForward’s Spidersaurs is coming over from Apple Arcade.
Dumb name of the weeks go to bad backronym Forged In Shadow Torch (FIST, geddit), while the sole game you might find in stores (in fact, it was in a local GameStop yesterday) comes in the DC Super Pets game. Which is probably still more enjoyable than any DC movie post-The Dark Knight.
