    A weak story and some minor annoyances fail to undermine the core gameplay. It sucks you in.

    Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II

    By Szkeptik | Review Date: Mar 24, 2009 | PC

    A weak story and some minor annoyances fail to undermine the core gameplay. It sucks you in.

    Pro: Addictive gameplay, great visuals, responsive environment, decisions really matter Con: Weak storyline, occasional AI mishaps The first game and it's expansion (Dark Crusade) left me with some high expectation... Read Full Review

    A game that looks exactly like what you've been waiting for since MoO2. Sadly first impressions don't always hold up.

    Distant Worlds

    By Szkeptik | Review Date: Jul 02, 2010 | PC

    A game that looks exactly like what you've been waiting for since MoO2. Sadly first impressions don't always hold up.

    I first heard of this game a few days after it came out. At first glance it was like any space strategy gamers wet dream. The universe is well crafted, brimming with life, created with nicely drawn planets orbiting their... Read Full Review

    A good game in dire need of a content pack. A must have for space fans.

    By Szkeptik | Review Date: May 09, 2013 | PC

    A good game in dire need of a content pack. A must have for space fans.

    I was waiting for this release for some time now. There was an open beta phase but I wanted to see the finished product, so I waited for the final release. Before diving into the nuances of gameplay I want to stress t... Read Full Review

    Many nice ideas, but it ultimately gives that Genesis Rising feeling of bad execution. Recommended for strategy fans.

    Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim

    By Szkeptik | Review Date: Dec 22, 2009 | PC

    Many nice ideas, but it ultimately gives that Genesis Rising feeling of bad execution. Recommended for strategy fans.

    This is a game I stumbled upon by accident. Never heard of the franchise before, but I was eager to try something new and different, so I gave it a go. I must say, this game comes in just a few steps short of great, but ... Read Full Review

    A decent addition to the genre, held back by a few gameplay shortcomings and overall graphical appeal.

    Armada 2526

    By Szkeptik | Review Date: Dec 01, 2009 | PC

    A decent addition to the genre, held back by a few gameplay shortcomings and overall graphical appeal.

    The game was lauded as the amalgamation of Master of Orion and Total War. Being a fan of both I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. If you played those two above then you know that this game has some serious shoes to fi... Read Full Review

    Has a lot going for it, but difficult to navigate and sometimes outright strange - and not in a good way.

    Endless Space

    By Szkeptik | Review Date: Jul 25, 2012 | PC

    Has a lot going for it, but difficult to navigate and sometimes outright strange - and not in a good way.

    My first impressions of this game were great. It looked like the 4x strategy I've been waiting for ever since SOTS 2 failed to leave the start line. Sadly as I played more and more problems seemed to crop up that made g... Read Full Review
