The literal name of the game - aside from the pun of questionable taste - comes from breeding cats. This comes with cartoony but explicit animations, which can be turned off from the Settings menu. You can try to affect who makes out with whom, but the end-result is always...
Although RoadCraft's story is about running a company, it could easily be a game about disaster relief. Its unique idea is a logical extension of Saber's previous productions, and serves as an excellent motivation for building roads and repairing infrastructure. Games tend to encourage unmitigated destruction, so repairing that destruction...
Darkest Dungeon II is still promising, but lacks meat around its bones. The 3D art style has been a success, but many changes to core mechanics are either underbaked or too plain, and the user interface needs more love. The early progression should be revised to let players get to...
All in all, Total War: Three Kingdoms is a welcomed change of pace to the Warhammer series. All the good bits are still there to enjoy and once you get over the overly ambitious interface, plunging headlong into Chinese politics and intrigue will easily entertain would-be emperors for days on...
Anno 1800 is a magnificent game to look at and a testament to what an accomplished large studio can achieve. There are endless amounts of beautification and tinkering to do while your cities grow into increasing elaborate melting pots of people and ideals. Daft characters you don't quite know what...
The biggest sin committed by Tropico 6 is that it's buckling under the weight of its own history. There's a laundry list of features that are either very shallow or just don't gel together - the Greatest Hits compilation of sorts. This makes planning the progression through the game's four...
Considering its pedigree, BattleTech the turn-based tactics game is long overdue, but the good thing is it's finally here. The mercenary life and its constant decision making, money issues, and tactical battles kept us nailed to our seat for hours on end; the campaign setting is unexpectedly robust, and there's...
Full Metal Furies is bright and a bit quirky - a co-op focused brawler with some nice touches to character development and storytelling. The old school mentality comes across nicely without feeling outdated, and the surprisingly expansive progression keeps things interesting throughout the Furies' campaign to rid the world of...
Now to the tough part. Total War: Warhammer II is a solid release. The campaign is new and the clear "grand prize" makes it more goal-oriented, and each of the four races feels distinct in both look and feel, offering new tactics for the battlefield, however, everything else is basically...
War of the Chosen touches almost every single aspect of the base Xcom 2 experience, and if you thought the vanilla title was too simple, this is right up your alley. If you felt there was too much to do already, move along citizen. It makes the game harder, more...
Endless Space 2 is a good game with great features. There's so much to do, decide, and tinker with that the worn phrase "one more turn" could have been born off it. You can fight your wars cold, hot, foreign, and domestic. There's a lot to explore and learn, from...
All in all, Dawn of War 3 is the game Warhammer 40K fans have been looking for. With a deluge of less-than-stellar games set in the universe, this one gives you the grim and dark future with larger-than-life characters and events that so many others have failed to deliver. The...
