Happy New Year! I hope you have had a wonderful holiday season and was able to spend time with those who matter to you. Queen Tinus and I had a quiet and lovely Christmas Eve - until I got terribly ill, and was plagued by a horrible stomach bug for the remainder of the holiday season. As for new game acquisitions, well, let's see what I added to the collection over the month of December.

Just Cause 3

Just Cause 3 is an open-world action game positioning itself as an expansive sandbox wherein one can indulge in chaos and mayhem.
