La Corda d’Oro – Shimizu GET!

I don’t often replay games, but after a recent string of disappointments I wanted to play something I knew I’d like. And I almost had it right with La Corda d’Oro too. The gameplay is still as involving as ever and I love classical music as much as ever. I just made a slight mistake […]
