For the King II

For the King II

November 6, 2023
70

For The King II is very much a board game more than it is an RPG adventure or grand strategy. You should be fully prepared that slots are just random dice rolls that can lead to chaotic events and outcomes. Treat the game as short fun sessions to play with friends rather than a serious ongoing campaign. Just remain aware that you and your associates will need to own four copies. If that is too much of a commitment, it may be better to skip For The King II until proper local multiplayer has rolled out fully. And as a strictly single-player game, it isn’t worth it yet.

F1 Manager 2023
70

F1 Manager 2023 is a neat take on the sports management genre. It has enough systems and complexity to appeal to anyone that got a kick out of the Football Manager series.

IXION can be extremely overwhelming and punishes players for not having nearly precognition levels of foresight. Still, once these roadblocks are understood and avoided, the game can become an excellent and welcome challenge. IXION is defiantly for survival fans first, while city planners may find things a bit more aggravating.

Potion Permit

Potion Permit throws a bunch of ideas together, but nothing really sticks as a true standout. It forces players into heavy grinding sessions for materials and other progressions at its worst. This makes it feel more akin to an MMO or GaaS than a fitting single-player experience. However, the actual aesthetics and characters are great and can be enough to tip things to some people’s liking.

Chivalry 2

Chivalry 2

Chivalry 2 is an incredibly fun, objective-based first-person war game. Players should remember that they won’t find the melee finesse of something like For Honor or dominate the whole map solo. Every match moment will be an over-the-top action sequence, where bodies will fly, characters roar with laughter, and nothing will make any real sense.

DayZ

Those considering jumping into DayZ are less buying a game and are getting a vast set of tools instead. What experiences one has will be unique. Some might find an extremely intense survival adventure. Others may feel the mixed excitement, terror, and loneliness of relying on strangers. Players who join with friends might engage in a private playground, while controlling admins may feel like it is an expensive second job.

Chernobylite

Chernobylite can be very enjoyable for players who want to take on the role of team leader and savior. While exploration will be crucial at first, as the base grows in size, players will be spending much of their schedule staying behind, sorting supplies, and simply manning the fort. Players that instead want a deep combat-focused game will not find it here.

Medieval Dynasty
68

Medieval Dynasty had been in early access for over a year. While it is now officially released, it doesn’t feel completely done. Render Cube still has plans for more update patches, including direct combat with bandits. Other features are still possible, with maybe an option to create a female Racimir. There is still a lot of meat to satisfy diehard simulator fans. But others might want to wait until even more features are added.

Overall, Aiko’s Choice is a great follow-up for one that already loved every aspect of Shadow Tactics. Those that never played the original should definitely play that first before considering the expansion. And of course, players who disliked any aspect of Shadow Tactics will find all of the same flaws or misgivings within Aiko’s Choice.

Gamedec

The world and premise of Gamedec are very captivating. Those looking for a unique cyberpunk mystery will get a kick out of the twists and turns of the narrative. Just be prepared for odd or completely missing translations. Still, for most players, it would be best to add the game to their wishlist and wait for a decrease in price.
