Note, it does describe the DLC in detail so if you haven't played it yet, wait to read the full review after you've completed the Max's Birthday DLC to avoid any spoilers. // REVIEWS // 2ND MAY 2017 // BY ANNA DUNCAN "I reviewed Max, an Autistic Journey shortly after it released, and liked it so much that I put it forward for Game of the Year.

  • UPDATE 1.2 - 23 November 2016

If you are still experiencing problems please let us know in the comments below.
