Quotes (from this video)
  • We are just hiding behind all the Dune boxes here.
  • This one really you're just getting your tactics at random from a deck and so it's kind of yeah but the battles can be absolutely true.
  • Really it's not our sort of game.
  • It wasn't a story I could connect with and the game part of it didn't have that many thoughtful choices.
  • I think it's a real on the fence one depending on whom you ask.
  • Our favorite would be like we naturally more of a eurogamer, I'm more a merry um very trash gamer more than you.
  • This is certainly my top of the three but yeah anyone who knows the sorts of games that are in my top five each year that's not a surprise to anyone that's spam.
