The True Beauty Of Maquette Is How It Affects Each Player Differently

As part of an amazing month for PlayStation Plus, subscribers were treated to Maquette for free. Standing next to a huge, triple A hit like Final Fantasy 7 Remake, it may not seem like much, but dig a little deeper and it has a lot to offer.

Thegamer Editor S Choices Of 2020 Jon Bitner

We did it, friends. We made it through 2020. And while the year itself was filled with some pretty miserable stuff, the world of gaming powered on without a hitch.
