Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutants Unleashed Review (PlayStation 5)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutants Unleashed Review, Mutants and humans have been kickin’ it together in New York City. But then, Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello discovered several shipments of mutagenic ooze were scattered, contaminating areas of the City. It didn’t seem so bad until they realized new mutants, a.k.a. ‘Mewbies’, spawned from this mess.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
