Review: La Mulan (PlayStation 4)
Players take control of Professor Lemeza Kosugi, a professor of archaeology whose family have long search for the fabled ruins of La-Mulana. A mysterious letter from Shawn Kosugi, Lemeza’s father, claiming to have found the ruins is all he needs to set off on a new adventure. But be warned! There’s a reason why the ruins have stayed undiscovered all this time and no-one who’s gone inside has ever come out…
