2021/04/03

Jared and Anne Ladyem (anneladyem.com) dive into two very different games. We begin with the latest Love Live! game that’s a port of the arcade version of School Idol Festival and how despite it being free, isn’t the Love Live! game you’d want to seek out instead of the mobile games. After that, we dive into It Takes Two and it’s cooperative gameplay which is very good, but has a lot of narrative problems that are a bummer.
