Huntdown

Indie gameWildfire takes the systemic pyromania of Far Cry 2, compresses it into two dimensions, and builds an entire stealth-platformer around it. It's occasio...Good7.4Toree 3D
Action gameToree 3D is roughly 40 minutes of tight, speed-obsessed platforming for a dollar, built around game feel most full-priced releases never find. A solid...Good7.3Barony
