SpellForce 3

3/10

3 Years ago

Looking at single aspects, SpellForce 3 is successful on all fronts, but this does not tell the whole story as on some level the game fails to come together cohesively. Building up RPG characters works largely well, but the RTS strategy sections leave a lot to be desired and the heroes simply melt into the background too much to be in any way meaningful. There is nothing wrong with the game; it is just never an awesome experience.

Ancestors Legacy

2/10

Nice trailers, great announcements, and the game itself is boring and repeatable. The battles last forever. Since you can’t have more than a dozen units at any time and defensive buildings can only be placed in pre-determined spots, your tactical options are extremely limited and no matter what you choose, you’ll end up playing whack-a-mole with enemy troops.

Blitzkrieg 3

2/10

Although you’re given a solid level of control over individual squads, you have little control over the game as a whole. Nothing about the game reaches out to the player and pulls them into an immersive WWII experience. Blitzkrieg 3 cannot penetrate the hearts of RTS enthusiasts.

Horizon Zero Dawn

8/10

Horizon Zero Dawn is familiar but also really refreshing. and the storytelling feels concise and efficient. The combat has some nice options that make encounters fun, even when you're just stacking up stealth kills from the relative safety of a bush. And the presentation end of the game holds up its end of things with a solid soundtrack, great voice acting, and a cohesive design that makes all its disparate parts fit together. All in all, it's a great game.
