Christopher Bratt's Reviews
The wait for a new historical Total War game is finally over! Sort of.
Frozen Synapse 2 has plenty to offer with its campaign, but again, this sequel is at its best when playing against other fallible humans.
I found Rage pretty hard work to enjoy. Much like the mercs themselves, for every positive trait it may offer, there tends to be some frustrating problem to deal with too. The combat is rarely all that enjoyable and a game that requires so much inventory management should do so much more to make that process appeal to the player.
Your kingdom's future can sometimes feel too predetermined, despite the hundreds of decisions you'll have made along the way, but the relationship between your king and his family is really what counts.Chris Bratt
A competent tactical retooling of the Gears formula, even if the execution isn't always spot-on.
