It’s a niche week. While jam packed for some, it’s more-or-less one that will have enthusiasts of several different genre’s held over for some time. Personally, the outstanding title that has me excited is the reimagining of the old arcade classic, Pong. Qomp2 is a sequel to an indie hit, that tells the tale of a desperate pong ball stuck in a shell, trying its best to escape its endless escapade through dark and dreary maps. Yes, it’s a deep as I described… whodathunkit? The title releases on February 20 for all major platforms.
