    Though, admittedly, expectations might have been a little low, Narcos: Rise of the Cartels is surprising in all the right ways.

Yeah, I'm a bit surprised, too.

Obviously it lacks in budget to go forward, so there are limitations in the gameplay. Those who are experienced will quick finish the game and be bored, but it's not a wast of money if you see it in a sale. It can be fun in a Sunday afternoon, mainly if you like the Netflix series (as I do).… Full Review »
