Oh man, what an awesome interview about awesome games with two awesome Guys!!! Really enjoyed that.
8-Bit Adventures 2 will always have a special place in my heart - when I started YT I always dreamed about that moment to be asked to review a game and 8-Bit Adventures 2 was the first I was asked to review. So thanks again to Joshua!
I can't wait for 8-Bit Adventures 2 to be on Playstation and I will definetly buy this to play this again.
Great job Erek! 💪
