However, when a deep dive into this philosophy is played for laughs, as is the case with Luigi Pirandello’s Six Characters in Search of an … Continue reading Masquers nail cerebral conflict of Six Characters in Search of an Author

Yet, my journeys tend to become monotonous, as most titles only feature a very limited roster of characters. Fortunately, with … Continue reading Retro Review: ‘Red’ and ‘Blue’ stand-out entries in JRPG genre
