If you’ve played The Room or its ilk, you’ll know what the structure of this game will be. If not, you’ll work your way around a room, finding odd objects that will have hidden switches and compartments that will provide you with items that…

In terms of units, there’s a solid array of choices, but as with the other DLC packs, there are some notable exceptions. You have your mainstay Fire Warriors and Crisis Suits as you’d expect, plus the sneaky Ghostkeel and Stealth Suits with…
