Dread Delusion review - a bumpy but fascinating new RPG

Retro game aesthetics have never really gone out of style, but there's always some disconnect between how old games actually were, and how they lodge themselves in our collective memory. As I made my way through Dread Delusion's twisting path across a shattered landscape gravitationally locked to an angry red star, I found myself ruminating on this difference, and about how an idealized notion of the past can often lead to mistaken approaches to present-day problems. This is an RPG with its own thoughts about that, and it's a bumpy but fascinating ride.
