[Update: After testing a pre-launch patch, certain issues we originally found in the PC version of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc have been resolved. Our score has been updated to reflect these improvements, and the relevant text has been noted as out of date.] Over the past few years there’s

Happy Accidents – Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime review

Looking at its well-deserved success, it’s unlikely many fans of Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime would believe it was once described as very nearly an accident by at least one of its developers. (Unless you count Portal, in which case you might actually scour the gaming world looking for
