January Release Preview

The release schedule for January 2017 is looking good so far; AltChar is here to help you cut through the noise

2017 is here, and there is no better way to kick it off than a look at what January has to offer. Q1 has usually been a bit of a dry-spill in terms of game releases in the past. Lots of publishers have promised to change that this year, and so far the results are a mixed lot. Let's have a look at some of the highlights:
