With a good story and interesting mechanics, Local News with Cliff Rockslide falls short of what it tries to accomplish. Still, it's an entertaining narrative adventure to enjoy in the evenings.

It certainly doesn’t come with a steep price tag either, which makes it even easier to push the purchase button.
