Solasta: Crown of the MagisterTactical Adventures The physical tabletop version of Dungeons & Dragons has seen a huge resurgence in popularity in recent times, as evidenced by its high ranking Twitch.TV presence, among other things. And that’s a great thing, as it gives people an alternative to the ubiquitous and frankly more wargame’y Warhammer franchise.…
Conan Exiles – Architects of Argos PackFuncom Funcom has really done a fantastic job of fleshing out their fantasy-themed survival/crafting title, Conan Exiles. When I’d first played the game back even before its exit from Early Access in 2018, I wondered exactly how they planned to give it some cultural flavor. After all, the character…
Total War: Warhammer II – The Warden & The Paunch DLCCreative Assembly / Sega Goodness gracious, have the good folks over at Creative Assembly been busy; constantly outdoing themselves when I didn’t think the Total War: Warhammer DLC couldn’t get any better. I’d thought we’d finally reached the apex of DLC for the series with…
Total War: Warhammer 2: The Hunter and the Beast DLC Creative Assembly / Sega Total War: Warhammer 2 is definitely a fantasy geek’s dream come true. I know that for me that’s true. And like many gamers out there, I just love playing the game as both the Empire as well as their cold-blooded Lustrian…
Total War: Warhammer 2 – The Prophet and the Warlock Creative Assembly/SEGA Like myself, many gamers were a little late to the whole Warhammer Fantasy Battle bandwagon. Personally, I was too preoccupied playing pencil and paper role-playing games as a kid and so didn’t have the time to devote to learning about another IP, especially…
Conan Exiles Funcom Conan Exiles debuted back in 2017, and by all accounts was a severely troubled product. It shipped with a substantial number of bugs, glitches, and was horribly optimized as well. Being a big fan of Conan’s brutal Hyborian world, I overlooked many of these issues, even though playing it right after release…
Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire – The Forgotten Sanctum DLC Obsidian Entertainment/Versus Evil The release of Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire stoked the fires of the CRPG flame pit, and showed the gaming masses that good ol’ fashioned role-playing games were still blazing hot. Indeed, the Pillars of Eternity series combines many facets of…
Conan Exiles Savage Frontiers and Seekers of the Dawn Packs Funcom If you’re a gamer who keeps up on gaming news in general, you’re probably already aware of Conan Exiles’ rather tumultuous Early Access period, and subsequent total turnaround. Indeed, just when I thought that the open-world sandbox game based on Robert E. Howard’s Hyborian…
Warhammer: Vermintide 2 – Shadows Over Bögenhafen DLC Fatshark As someone who was never really that familiar with any of the Warhammer Fantasy Battle lore, I was a little apprehensive when Fatshark released the first Warhammer: Vermintide game back in 2016. It took a few friends to convince me to try it out and once…
Total War: WARHAMMER II – Curse of the Vampire Coast Creative Assembly/SEGA By all accounts, Total War: WARHAMMER II has had a slow start coming out of the gate, especially considering how well-paced the first game’s DLC release schedule shuffled along. However, unless you are a gamer who is rather embittered about Creative Assembly’s DLC…
