This game is so fun!

My kid kept telling me about the devs working around the war in Ukraine, and then I had to play it.

Still irks me the sidequests that bugged out—I never did get credit for the last collar in the car junk yard.

My husband and I both teach in the Midwest US—I hope the dart trend doesn’t spread.

Now if you wanted to ban something, paper darts with metal tips thrown into the ceiling would be right up there.
