Expeditions: Rome is a tactical RPG with a scope just as sweeping as its alternative historical setup. You get to create your own character and lead an entire legion in battles, explore the map, and make difficult decisions. The graphics are a combination of incredibly bright, colourful, vivid landscapes with minutely detailed character portraits during conversations.


What we like:
  • Rich narrative
  • Complex characters
  • All-encompassing character creation process
  • Satisfying tactical scope for skilled planning
  • Complex decisions and consequences
  • Intuitive use of resources
  • Varied random encounters
What could be improved:
  • Limited explanation of certain mechanics
  • Static battle animations with disconnect from choices made
  • Lengthy animations during combats can be tedious at times
  • Steep learning curve

Linux series s series x Playstation 4 Nintendo Switch PC Windows Mac OS

Atom RPG is an old school post-apocalyptic game set in Russia. The character creation is reminiscent of games like Fallout, with skills, stats and traits that affect the game's difficulty. Combat is turn-based and action point based, while crafting gives players the chance to create objects using various pieces of rubbish found in the wasteland. There are plenty of NPCs with their own stories, as well as a main storyline to follow.


What we like:
  • Rich character customization options
  • Turn-based combat system
  • Variety of NPCs with stories
  • Crafting system based on scavenging for resources
  • Main storyline and side quests
What could be improved:
  • Aiming at body parts rarely has an effect
  • Speechcraft skills are essential for success in some situations
  • Some NPCs have more personality than others
