Before load-shedding hits, games you need to play!
It’s not every day we get to enjoy months without load shedding, allowing us uninterrupted gaming time and the chance to experience video gaming like we did in the past.
Yes, I said the past—those days when the idea of load shedding was a laughable joke we never imagined would become our reality.
While we are enjoying uninterrupted game time, we all have to face reality: load shedding will be creeping up since we keep hearing that power cuts are coming back after the elections.
In light of this, here are 5 games you should play before load-shedding hits us again.
