Glitchpunk: Neon Lit Carnage is Briefly Fun – Early Access Review
I’ve never played the old GTA games, so I lack the requiste nostalgia needed to fully appreciate Glitchpunk. Unfortunately, I also lack the desired love for all things Cyberpunk and its neon-soaked aesthetic. Nevertheless, I was excited to play Glitchpunk.

I’m not going to waste your time. Button City is amazing. More than amazing even.

Playing No Longer Home was difficult. It has been equally as difficult to write this review. Unfortunately for me, I hated my time at University. My depression only got worse and I was often very alone. By the time my final few weeks rolled around, I fell into one of the worst depressions of my…
