GOTY 2021 mini reviews: Flynn: Son of Crimson

(brandon:) Continuing my series of mini-"reviews" of games I had to play to judge for competition. I chose this one because it seemed like a ~vania.

Continuing the series of reviews I (brandon) had to do whilst judging awards shows, here's SMT V! A game I quite liked but stopped playing partially because of my bad controller, partially because...
