A little bit waterlogged – Empyre Lords of the Sea Gates review

The year is 1911, and just a few years prior in 1899, the oceans rose, flooding coastal cities. Cities that once housed millions became sunken wastelands, but not New York.

Destroy them, my robots! – Raw Data Vive and Rift co-op review
