Kôna: Day One: Hands-On

RRP £79.99 Game provided by the distributor The force has awoken, and so Star Wars fever – which has never really died down since the original outbreak in 1977 – is enjoying yet another peak. Although Star Wars Armada is coming up to a year old, now is as good a time as any to talk about just how good – or bad – this is. So: What are we looking at...
