Lychgate – Precipice Review

January 21, 2026January 20, 2026 Reviewed by Anti-Peat No comments

Normally, The Goat Review has policies against covering releases from the previous year when the year turns. But hold Anti-Peat’s beer, as he’s been necromanced by Lychgates frightening new machine, that permanently steals your glance once you observe it.
