This Is Not A Review: Voidrun
Welcome to This Is Not A Review. In these articles we discuss general impressions, ideas and thoughts on any given game, but as the title implies, it’s not a review.

The subject of this installment: Voidrun, available on PC and developed and published by Benjamin Soulé.
