Weekly Game News #25 2024
Dear Friends,
Welcome to another exciting edition of our weekly newsletter! This week, I have an nice mix of games that will take you on thrilling adventures, from sneaking past monsters and escaping ominous castles to solving intricate puzzles and racing at breakneck speeds.
I'm also really looking forward to the remake of Riven. I hope it hasn't lost any of the atmosphere I experienced when it first came out. It was just a bit scary to realize that the first release was in 1997. Time flies like nothing.
Let's start.
