Review: A Golden Wake

Hi there. Here’s a funny thing: I usually feel bad if we go a while without posting a review. Now I feel bad that it’s been a few reviews in a row. Basically, I just feel bad about everything all the time. Today we’re looking at a comparatively modern adventure: A Golden Wake.
