EA Sports College Football 27 is a leap forward in gameplay and features, particularly in Dynasty Mode. It just feels like someone missed a block downfield, which kept this big play from being explosive.

Anno 117: Pax Romana is a remarkably expansive game that I can sit and play for hours, even with its little notifications telling me to take a break.

Surviving Mars: Relaunched is a must-play for any city-builder fan. There is plenty of depth and creativity from collecting resources to building and managing your colony to full-on terraforming a planet.

Europa Universalis 5 is a fantastic addition to the franchise that will likely only improve over time as bugs and UI issues are addressed.

EA Sports College Football 26 is a step forward in the right direction and builds really well from where CFB 25 left off. There are plenty of quality of life additions from menus and UI to even more sliders and options for players for the various game modes.

Age of Wonders 4: Eldritch Realms is a great start to a new year for the game—and celebrating the franchise’s 25th anniversary… Eldritch Realms really is a game-changer.
