[Review] Taito Milestones 2 – Nintendo Switch
Developed By: Hamster Published By: ININ Games Categories: Retro, Compilation Release Date: 08.31.23 I love Taito games. I love game compilations. I even love the work that Hamster and ININ are doing. Yet, the first Taito Milestones didn’t exactly pull me in as much as I wanted it to. Be it the barebones nature of […]
