[QUOTE="Apollo Tenzen, post: 61731, member: 271"] It all started in 2020. I’ve been in a toxic relationship with this game for five years now, with some on-and-off breaks. But let’s be real, no matter what, I always find my way back. It’s like an addiction. I’ll put it down for a bit, dive into other games, try to break free — but sooner or later, Brawlhalla calls me back.
