Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers review: a fickle but fun roguelike that stretches Blackjack to the moon and back

So, what have we got here? Thats fine, actually. Reduced score means I can squeeze in another card for more healing. At one point, so did I. That was a much simpler time. Before the NFT ape.

Black Ops 6 leak gives naughty players access to the Max Payne-ish omnimovement system for the first time
