đŽ Where's My Controller?
I picked up Kirby: Return to Dream Land Deluxe. I am enjoying my time with this one quite a bit. It's an excellent game that honestly doesn't feel too demanding. Despite being a remake/remaster of a game from the 3DS, which I believe was a remake of a very old Kirby game, it's very well-built. I would love to see more games in this art style.
đI don't know what a pen looks like.
A pretty demanding week.
