Quotes (from this video)
- 20 Strong Tang Woods Red is so freaking good.
- There's so much story here. I love the upgrades and how drastic your decisions are.
- This is the most complex game out of all five I'm going to show you today, but there is so much story here.
- I don't mind not having dice mitigation because honestly, you get to focus more on your strategy here. The dice are just more so as a bonus.
- I want a rematch on Callus's lab.
