Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Game Review

Oct 16, 12:00 games
Like Sky 1st, Daybreak, and every other Trails that I have had the good fortune to enjoy so far, Sky 2nd is a darn good RPG and a darn good game. ― I am a latecomer to the Trails series. I started last year with 2021's Trails Through Daybreak. It got its hooks in me (as a longtime film dweeb, I have to salute any game that sets an extended hunk of its story at a film festival). I have since completed...

Narumi's Week at Work Anime Series Review
