Bayonetta 1 and 2 are good games but…

Oddworld Stranger’s Wrath is coming out on January 23rd for the Nintendo Switch. The game is currently available for pre-purchase! I remember playing Stranger’s Wrath on the original Xbox! I was a huge fan of the game. It was so very different from the other Oddworld games: you didn’t play as Abe or an Abe-like creature, you didn’t have others following you or couldn’t issue commands. Instead, you played as a gunslinger in an old west like setting. Your character…
