VICTOR'S TINKERINGS ON SUBSTACK

Dead Connection:
In a fit of mad hysteria Shaun called this game "A nice polished game with some janky elements".
A mish-mash dichotomy of contradictions right there.
But Dead Connection does deserve some praise.
It looks good. It sounds good. The cut-scenes are good. 
But it plays like a fish.
