SpellForce 3
SpellForce 3 is a game that, when pulled apart, doesn’t always come out looking great, but that I’ve still really enjoyed. I get a sort of primal delight in seeing two of my favourite genres blended together competently, and that’s definitely SpellForce -- competent. It probably seems like I’m damning...
What if Thief was an open-world isometric RPG?
Tannenberg
An eye for detail and an obsession with authenticity, if not complete accuracy, is possibly even more important in Tannenberg than it was in Verdun. Despite the long pauses and more restrictive format, Verdun’s trench warfare hook set it apart from other military shooters and placed it firmly in World...
Overgrowth
Overgrowth feels like a mod created for a wacky physics sandbox where all the openness and experimentation has been pushed to the side, and everything else has been twisted around a forgettable, barely present story and a series of brief and ugly levels. I’m just glad that, at around two...
Tooth and Tail
A fast-paced real-time strategy game that feels great with a controller.
Nex Machina
There will be more twin-stick shooters, probably excellent ones, but if time stopped and all we were left with was Nex Machina, then that wouldn’t be such a terrible thing. Housemarque and Eugene Jarvis have created something very special, and I suspect, enduring.
The campaign isn't great but Steel Division's tense, tactical combat is great with friends.
Endless Space 2
I'm relieved that Amplitude have managed to do some last-minute fixes. It saves me from having to tell you to give it a miss for the time being, even though I'm besotted with it. Instead I get to happily recommend it. From the interface to economics, it sports some of the...
Syberia 3
Syberia 3's seven year delay wasn't long enough.
Halo Wars 2
Halo Wars 2 is simultaneously conservative and inventive. It’s definitely trying to evoke traditional RTS games – which is not entirely a bad thing given the recent dearth of them – especially when it comes to the campaign, but elements like base construction and Blitz mode make it stand out...
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is secretly last year’s best stealth game.
Killing Floor 2
Is it currently fun? Undeniably. It’s gross, silly, and more than a little thrilling, and while the matchmaking system is a bit rubbish, there are always plenty of active servers to choose from manually, ensuring that you won’t have to spend much time looking for a game. But for that...
