Slogging's What's one game that you think everyone should play at least once? Jose Hernandez Mar 17, 2021, 3:16 AM It's my favorite game of all time, and it's the culmination of every Mega Man game up to that point. It's not too hard, and it's not too easy either.

Limarc Ambalina Mar 19, 2021, 3:44 PM Beyond Two Souls Whenever I get a chance to use a VR I’ll definitely keep that in mind! Jose Hernandez Mar 19, 2021, 5:36 PM My choice would be .
