Dear friends,

I hope all is well with you. It's been an exciting week. Godot and his community have been in conflict, Ubisoft shares continue to fall and the latest AAA games are not doing well with the consumer. However, I have found an interesting mix of games in this edition of the newsletter, covering adventure, action and even strategic typing.

Let's get started.
