This version of Worms does not properly run on my PC with Windows 11. There are graphical glitches and white "boxes" all over the screen.
Considering Skyrim is mature software, it is surprisingly buggy and glitchy, mainly the dialogue menus. Scrolling and selecting the desired text/speech when interacting with other characters very often does not work. I use the PC keyboard and trackpad. This makes playing the game frustrating. I have recently freshly installed Skyrim on my new computer (Alienware M18 R2) and the same problem remains. I'm not sure how much longer long I will put up with this before I abandon the game and uninstall.
I really wanted to like Tropico 6 but it is a fail for me. The lack of campaign mode and highly built starting cities ruined it for me. Planning and building up from nothing was a large part of the interest and appeal. Since the Caribbean Skies DLC adds a campaign I thought I would try it out. Oh dear, your starting cities are even more fully built and developed than those in the standard game. No fun at all. Oh and drones! What a silly irrelvance. Tropico needs to get back to it's roots.
The visuals and graphics of Tropico 6 are clearly the best in the series. For me however that's as far as my praise goes. Previously I have enjoed the campaign style of play in Tropico, but in 6 I find the gameplay tedious, repetitive and boring. There is no campaign, Just a series of standalone missions that do not lead into each other, so you end up repeatedly having to research the same edicts and buy the same bulding blueprints in each mission, time after time. I got fed up with it. Your starting towns also tend to be quite largely constructed at the outset too, much more so than in previous versions, so that takes away the fun of setting up a layout for yourself and building up from small beginnings. The quirky humour that characetersied the faction leaders is all gone. Demands from factions are now just cold irritations and obstructions that encourage immediate closure
This version of Anomaly reverts to "traditional" tower defence gameplay. You defend your base, a launchpad, from a variiety of attackers. Although often difficult to see, the attackers are battle robots and tanks and your objective is to destroy them by placing various weapons turrets in predefined spots along their route before they reach the launch pad and ultimately destroy it. A win earns you technology points that can be used to upgrade your weapon turrets. Gameplay graphics are nice, more detailed and artistic than most similar games. My main criticism is what I consider to be lack of longevity and replay-ability of Anomaly Defenders 24 levels/missions and you're done and it doesn't take long.
I like Kingdom Rush Frontiers. It has nice clean and simple graphics and an uncomplicated game interface. My main criticism is that it lacks longevity. The campaign seems short and then there's nothing else afterwards other than to try the same again at an increased diifficuly level. Some sort of random skirmish mode would be an excellent feature on a game like this.
Considering there's not much to control in this game, I find control fiddly and unintuitive.
SOASE has a very steep learning curve. Consider it an achievement to complete the basic tutorial without geting lost in space or floundering. I personally don't have the patience for a game as fiddly as this. This review is written after what must be about the fourth tie I've re-installed the game to give it another go only to uninstall it again later the same day.
Aven Colony looks good graphically but gameplay is boring, unengaging, pointless micro-management. Uninstalled.
