There’s a good core but the rest of the game is the Diet Coke of Evil: Just one calorie, not evil enough.
Stubbs is emblematic of the end-of-lifecycle game in that it is extremely weird, kind of janky, and beloved by those who happened to pick it up in the game store, which was something we had way back then, because console games hadn’t invented online purchases yet.
At its heart, Empire of Sin does a little of everything and does none of it well.
Interesting indie game that’s not quite as good as it wants to be, but still aims for the sky and hits.
This may be Paradox’s best game and it’s about…family.
Fun combat and colorful world, but not a lot of depth outside that.
Fewer vampires and more Greeks! It’s Bronze Age Total War.
Relentlessly stylish and relentlessly grindy turn-based tactical roguelike.
Easy to start, but miles deep. THAT’S WAR, BABY!
It’s XCOM but less intimidating and overwhelming.
