Review
Exceptional raid design sitting behind a progression curve that punishes anyone who cannot play four evenings a week. We logged 96 hours across four wipes before committing to a number.
Review
Terrain and weather modify every card in your hand, which means the deck you built is only half the plan. The highest score we have given a roguelike in three years of covering them.
Review
Its best three bosses arrive after hour thirty, which almost no game in this genre attempts. The trade is a slow, over-familiar opening that will lose people who have played four of these already.
Review
The highest movement ceiling we have tested since the genre's revival, undercut by a 30 Hz tick rate that turns close duels into a coin flip. Score held pending the promised server update.
Review
Heat is a resource that flows outward from the centre, so your city plan is literally a temperature gradient. It is superb for twelve hours, then the crisis system runs out of ideas.
Review
Twelve hours of setup replaced with two. Almost everything in this survival game is designed around the assumption that your group can only meet once a week, and it is better for it.
Review
No fast travel, no map markers, and a two-hour crossing that the game genuinely expects you to sit through. It works, and the reasons why are the most interesting thing we wrote this month.
Review
A tutorial that teaches ratios instead of hiding them, and an in-game measurement tool that removes the need for a spreadsheet. The late-game rail system is where it gets truly good.
