At Casual Review, we always complain that games nowadays have no personality. Studios can churn out the same game, disguise it under a different theme such as “beach” or “murder”, and call it new. But we gamers know better. We’re not fooled. So when a game does come along with REAL personality, a game with [...]

Elven Mists 2 is as magical and dainty as its name. You are a young elven lad (young in elvish terms is 99 years old), about to take the role as Awakener of the Elves. For the elves have been sleeping in their petals, which are flowers scattered across a game board. Your job is [...]
