What Are You Playing? July 20th, 2017

Welcome to another week of Summer gaming drought. Although it’s been hard to find compelling games to play recently, there have been some neat releases that sadly didn’t get much visibility.

Among them is Albion Online, an MMO I’ve been playing during the past few days. I’ve been traveling around its world gathering materials to upgrade my gear, and occasionally getting into scuffles.
