Video Game Review – Ramiwo

by

Red Stewart reviews Ramiwo for PC (Steam)… Playing Ramiwo, I was unfortunately reminded of another indie title called Virginia. Like Ramiwo, it marketed itself as a walking simulator with a deep narrative, but the end result was more akin to an overly-ambitious animated film that ultimately failed thematically and artistically.
