I'm enjoying Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 way more than I thought I would: mostly because of the extra modes and chapters that change the approach of each playthrough. That list of ways to play just got a little longer today thank...

Activision has made a name for itself when it comes to deviously shoving microtransactions into games after launch like a mustache-twirling ne'er-do-well. After showing that even the lovable Crash Bandicoot series isn't safe (Nitr...
