Xbox One Playstation 4 Xbox Series X

Phoenix Point: Behemoth Edition is an immersive and innovative turn-based strategy game set in a post-apocalyptic world. Its faction system profoundly impacts both the narrative and gameplay, and the world-building is phenomenal. The combat innovations, with firing weapons and action points, offer thrilling experiences. However, the lack of class diversity in the early game can be overcome by racing to save humanity from complete obliteration. If you're a hardcore strategic and XCOM fan, Phoenix Point is a game worth the effort.


What we like:
  • Innovative combat
  • Phenomenal world-building
  • Immersive turn-based strategy
  • Diverse factions
  • Rewarding experimentation
What could be improved:
  • Lack of class diversity
  • Overwhelming amount of content
  • Uneven campaign at some points
  • Super long load times
  • Occasional stuttering

PC Windows Playstation 5 Mac OS Xbox Series X Xbox One

Solasta: Crown of the Magister is a turn-based RPG that draws inspiration from D&D's 5th Edition. It features a solid character creation system, verticality combat, and a storyline set in a world dominated by an elven empire that was hit by a cataclysmic event 1,000 years ago. The game's dungeons' creator is well-designed, and the graphics, overall, are decent, while animations are solid.


What we like:
  • Faithfully recreates D&D 5e mechanics
  • Customizable party members
  • Immersive world and engaging narrative
  • Tactical combat system
  • Offers a great bang for the buck
What could be improved:
  • Weak narrative
  • Linear campaign
  • Lack of online multiplayer
  • Mediocre voice acting and character models
  • Camera can be bad
