14 DAY TRIAL // This week, the review slate for the Games section of Softpedia includes: Don’t Starve, a roguelike experience that has a unique art style and interesting mechanics, Zeno Clash 2, a brawler that might be too ambitious for its own good, Sorcery on iOS devices and Might & Magic: Heroes VI: Shades of Darkness, the unnecessary expansion to the classic tactics-driven series.
