Raycevick's Recommendations: Doorkickers: Action Squad

It's been a long time since titles such as Hotline Miami popularized the pixilated, 80's synthwave shooters to the indie scene. It's long enough to assume the formula's become utterly bland, and to...

Raycevick's Recommendations: Cowboy Bebop
