The new units, setting, and the story makes for a nice little package that feels fairly priced. If you liked Ancestors Legacy and just wanted a reason to go back to the title, then Saladin’s Conquest is about as good a reason as any.
Are you out of your mind?
The best FPS of the year, but not the best open-world game
Three Kingdoms is a good game, and it feels like relearning an old game – it sticks to the Total War formula, but changes so many things around that everything feels different.
The scene of crossing a battlefield, with hundreds of lifeless bodies piled over each other, only to see a swarm of rats bursting out of a horse's bloated corpse is just one of multiple sights that A Plague Tale: Innocence inevitably etches into your mind. Although its stealth and puzzle mechanics aren't exactly fresh, having what's, quite possibly, the most powerful representation of the Black Death in the medium, even if stylized, is reason enough to see Amicia and Hugo's journey to its end.
A very barebones remaster that is great for newcomers, but unnecessary for owners of the previous game.
YOU CAN FIGHT TIGERS IN THIS GAME?!
A very Paradox game, in both a good and bad way. It has all the hallmarks of a good game, and I look forward to seeing continued development as time goes by.
A capable coop shooter with a lot of potential and amazing swarm mechanics
Increasingly complex yet approachable, Anno 1800 is an excellent entry in the long-running city building series that both challenges but also leaves space to admire one's handiwork.

Our Tropico 6 review finds a game that's very Tropico - for better or for worse
Promising concept, lacklustre execution
Two Point Hospital Pebberley Island DLC Review
A great game with fantastic world building and gameplay, The Division 2's most egregious issues can easily be fixed during its lifetime.
The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame brings a long-overdue revamp, but everything's not awesome
A stylish, badass return to form
There's a lot to love with The Occupation. It's got humanity, tension, and plenty of little touches that make finding that extra bit of information exciting without the usual violence you've come to expect from stealth games. However, its focus on no manual saving and real-time gameplay will be a dealbreaker. It's not for everyone, but anyone craving consequence and narrative in their stealth game will find a challenge worth facing.
Anthem is a tremendously fun base for a game, but is significantly lacking as a game right now. We know for sure that BioWare is making that game and it's coming soon, but it sure as heck didn't launch with it. The Anthem gameplay is incredible as an Iron Man simulator, with some great abilities, and the sense of flight is wonderful. The world and story is potentially interesting too.
A worthy expansion, given you own Rise and Fall first and get this on a sale.
