Northgard is a fantastic little gem in the painfully dying RTS genre. From its clean graphics to simple but fun mechanics, this is truly a win for the genre. If I had any gripes with the game it would have to be the DLC, theres a few of them and they add up in price. I love this game enough to support the devs by buying it here for the 3rd time. (own the steam and switch version).

I dont understand this studio. Another interesting RPG bogged down by its awful combat. Something Pirnaha Bytes seems to be getting worse at designing. Gothic 2 was ok, Risen got worse with each installment and now here we are at barely playable. I really hope they spend a little more time on combat in the next game, that or just remove it completely.

Battletech is a Turn-based tactics game in the vein of xcom. Unlike xcom however, getting through a mission without damage is impossible. Battles are about mitigating the amount of damage that happens. As a Mercenary commander you are tasked with not only piloting a mech but managing all the minutea of such a company. From buying upgrades to paying for your ships fuel. its all a very well tuned balancing act. The story cutscenes may lack flair but the story is strong enough to cary you through. Some things worth noting are the artsyle (its battleteck it always looks good) and the soundtrack. Battletech also comes with a multiplayer mode along with skirmish against the AI. This mode allows players to mix and match thier lance (a squad of 4 pilots and their mechs) to duke it out in multiple arenas. Overall I cant recommend Battletech enough.
