This month, the MindGames team get down with the sickness. It's disease in games! Please enjoy our group therapy session produced under nationwide self-isolation. Make sure you keep your ears peeled for Milos' epic monologue about Pathologic 2 in our Weird Games segment. None of us realised at the time that he prepared the review himself, so we did not give him anywhere near the recognition he deserved. Stay safe everyone, and wash your damn hands!
