Updated Review of Cassette Beasts

All the positive I originally said about the game mechanics / art style etc. of Cassette Beasts remains. But I got sick of the wokeism – hence this updated review. (I am curious to see if Steam lets the review remain up on their platform . . . we will see) I got sick of […]
