A war torn blend of classic RTS and new aged management sim, Last Train Home is a fresh approach to the strategy genre. Not only is it a fresh take on a heavily populated genre, it is a challenging and rewarding adventure driven by an engaging narrative based around true events. Interestingly, the game provides a certain sense of humanization to its strategy mechanics. This sort of approach changes your soldiers from a faceless army of drones into real people making you feel responsible for every single loss. Of course, this is the trick of the game. It begins to deepen beyond a simple objective based strategy game, ensuring that players need to consider every single choice.
I have loved Star Wars since my dad showed me Empire Strikes Back for the first time when I was a child. After that, I was consumed with the story, the characters, and the universe of Star Wars. And in turn, I consumed everything I could about it with fervour. I always wanted more interactions with the planets and characters, I wanted to experience more of the universe in depth. Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (LSW: TSS) takes what each of the Star Wars trilogies gives fans and builds upon it. The galaxy of each trilogy has been seriously opened wide, with some of the most iconic planets given wide areas to explore. Additionally, there is a lot to do on the planets. While the main story of Star Wars is always enthralling, and in this case humorous, it was great to have so much to explore.
