I love the idea of placing myself into the distant past, of believing that I’m immersed in the problems and opportunities of ancient warlords. Three Kingdoms delivers, in the sense that it gives me the gift of a genuinely absorbing historical fantasy. It’s out now on Windows PC, Mac, and Linux.
The question of how far we allow their designs to shape our lives has never been more urgent. The Red Strings Club does a good job of framing this problem, and allowing us to explore its dimensions.
In each episode of Quality Control, a Polygon editor talks to a critic after they review a new game, movie or piece of gear and allows them to add a little bit of extra context and insight.
If you want a 3D platform game with tons of things to collect, but one that doesn’t try too hard to innovate, A Hat in Time just about hits the mark. It’s out today on PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One.
I spent the equivalent of a working week playing Aven Colony and it was hard labor. This is a game of relentless concentration and chore-work, with only the briefest flashes of magic and relief, offering almost nothing new to the city building, or resource management genres.
Forza Horizon 3 is as much a driving game as a racing game.

But it also managed to muster "cor blimey" moments that made me feel a whooping rush of speed and liberation.
