Catlateral Damage Genre: Sandbox/Action Developer: Manekoware Publisher: Fire Hose Games Release Date: 03/22/16 Complicated, challenging games are certainly a wonderful thing to have available, but sometimes you just need a game that lets you turn off your brain and wreck everything in sight for a while.
