Hello all, I just started playing Shank 2 on my channel. I was motivated to cover the sequel after the positive feedback I got from the first game.

The Early Access trailer for Off The Grid was released by Gunzilla Games on Tuesday, October 8, 2024. While the third-person shooter holds great promise in terms of graphics and gameplay, the story defies morality—even for a long-time gamer like myself who believes games should not be taken seriously. https://lnkd.in/dtQQ77jB
