HIGH We see the many faces of war through the characters’ stories.
LOW Searching through and replaying the extensive dialogue trees can be tiring.

War In The East 2 Review
Back In The U.S.S.R.
HIGH A richly detailed operational WW2 strategy that plays smoothly for wargame vets.
LOW The lack of handholding can be overwhelming for newcomers.
WTF Why are the aerial operations so fussy if the AI automation is turned off?
Enlisted Preview
Enlisted is a bold attempt at tackling a bloated genre. The World War II shooter has more entries than I can count, but even bolder than trying to crack this style is that it’s also entering the similarly-crowded online-only field.
Nine Witches: Family Disruption Review
Yes, Right. Of Course.
HIGH Great scope, solid puzzles, good sense of humor.
LOW Ghosting through doors was not adequately tutorialized.
WTF The, uh… ‘style’ of Akiro’s portrait art.
Warplanes: WW2 Dogfight Review
Puppy Fights
HIGH Plane explosions are notably satisfying.
LOW The 15-ish hours of grinding to get every plane. Per faction.
WTF You want me to sink a German Aircraft Carrier? Um… What?
Hell Let Loose Preview
My first foray into first-person shooters with a heavy focus on strategy and mechanics began with the closed beta of Hell Let Loose, a World War II-era shooter developed by Black Matter and published by Team 17. Their project focuses more on the tactical and realistic aspects of firing a gun, more similar in scope to ARMA 3 and America’s Army than to something like Call of Duty.
My Memory Of Us Review
A Bit Of A Blackout
HIGH The usage of magical realism.
LOW Math puzzles.
WTF The Evil King is not Hitler. No, it’s definitely, definitely not Hitler.
Valkyria Chronicles 4 Review
Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Invade Gallia…
HIGH Climbing to the top of a ruin to fire a rocket into an enemy’s weak point.
LOW Losing that damn wounded sniper mission over and over again.
WTF How the Battleship’s engine gets fixed…
Battlefield V Preview
Battlefield is returning to where it all started. The original Battlefield 1942 was set in WWII. Now, 16 years later, Battlefield V is again heading back to the second world war. While BFV had an alpha earlier this year on PC, this latest open beta is going to be the first time most fans will be able to finally get their hands on it.
Bomber Crew Review
How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb
HIGH Landing beaten and bloodied after a successful mission.
LOW Not figuring out how to apply first aid in time.
WTF Those pigeon sounds on the title screen.
