for most of the m games froms 2024 ..2025 …not 2026
moonlight peaks has been so much fun, and I'm sad it didn't make the list
I got spoiled on the ending to Roots of Pacha, and frankly the twist turned me off so bad I uninstalled the game.
I mean, there's also the fact that Mistria will be 1.0 complete in one month, so very little reason to worry about that at this point.
