MIO: Memories in Orbit First Impressions

Back in January, I listed MIO: Memories in Orbit as one of my most anticipated games of the year, and it one that I thought I’d have to buy. Color me surprised when it popped up on Game Pass upon release! With a winter plate too full of games, spring has arrived, and MIO’s time…
