I’m obsessed with Preecha’s music in City of the Wolves
Preecha is really solidifying herself as the character I want to main in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. Her music is fantastic. Has its own bouncy and infectiously happy vibes, but there’s an undertone of Joe Higashi’s previous themes to it too. Absolutely addictive song.

I hear Alien: Romulus is better than Alien 3 and Resurrection (not a hard bar to clear) but not as good as the rest. Wild. Anywho, Aliens and the original always did it best.

At least he didn’t lay off and close MachineGames after they announced Indiana Jones is going to the PS5.

Food in Monster Hunter is also top-tier graphics and it looks like that’s still going to be the case in Wilds. Huzzah!!!
