GoGCast 249: Bless Unleashed, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, E3 cancelled

2020 is not E3’s year, quite literally. After many hits to the event’s glamour, E3 2020 was officially cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns. Speaking of sink or swim, Gamestop is rethinking their stores and Reggie Fils-Aimé joins their board of directors. But it’s not all bad news bears: we also have game reviews! Ali tried Xbox exclusive MMO Bless Unleashed and Leah played Ori and the Will of the Wisps.
