    Planet Zoo 2 Has Incredibly Lifelike Animals And Wild Game Reserves to Put Them In | IGN Preview (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The animal lover in me was immediately delighted by the couple of hours I got to spend with Planet Zoo 2. And not just because the various creatures large and small who inhabit it look the best they ever have in a tycoon game – especially in the animation department – but because of the increased focus on conservation. While it has "zoo" in the title, a huge new component to this sequel is the introduction of free-roaming wildlife preserves that can be sculpted and shepherded to see the species

    Valheim Is Finally Out After More Than Half a Decade, a Breathtaking Survival Game That Stands Among the Absolute Best of the Genre (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It's rare that the giant, horrible rat men of the Skaven get a starring role in a Warhammer game, despite being one of the most unique and popular factions. They're normally the fodder you chew through in a horde game like Vermintide. So Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Deathmaster immediately sets itself apart by putting you in the stinking rags of Vihneek, a resourceful rodent we're introduced to as he's being unceremoniously dumped into a festering pit full of corpses. You know, it's probably not how

    Afterworld Breaks Paradox Out of its Comfort Zone, but it’s Still Crazy Early in Development | IGN Preview (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I don't know about you, but my plans for the apocalypse involve hiding in a comfy bunker and playing hundreds of hours more of Paradox grand strategy games like Crusader Kings 3. And now I'll be able to play out the apocalypse during the apocalypse with the studio’s first new grand strategy game franchise since 2019's Imperator: Rome, Afterworld. Set in a not too far future North America that has been devastated by an intentionally vague cataclysm, it combines RTS and grand strategy elements as
