There’s finally a game that got using the Force right. Except in this game it’s not ‘the Force’. It’s just, you know, telekinesis. But I feel like ‘the Force’ has better SEO. I’m not even sure I’m using SEO correctly. If I am, good for me. If I’m not, further proof that the world privileges the stupidest of us all. If either of my parents had spent longer than a semester in college, I probably would’ve been a legacy admission....
