My Pull List for Week 1 of 2022
This first week of 2022 features 3 new number 1s that I’m gonna take a look at and I finally dipped my toe into the Elvira meets Vincent Price story. It looks pretty good and has been getting some good ratings so I figured it would be nice to take a look. Also, seeing that Horizon Zero Dawn has another issue out makes me really want to jump into that game. I know I’ve only scratched the surface of that world and could easily put another 50 or so hours into the game. Perhaps I’ll try to get that moving as I know there is a sequel coming out soon though I am not sure if it is only on PS5 or not.
