It captures the essence of what makes a Civilization game a Civilization game. Sid Meier’s Civilization VI is a culmination of a decades-long series.

It’s nice to see the Minecraft empire expanding, and if you’ve ever wanted to try out an RTS game without worrying about getting swamped with mechanics you don't understand, Legends is a fantastic starting point. There is a campaign you can play through to show you the basics of the game, and multiplayer offerings you can try dipping into that will (potentially) keep the game’s community active. You’ll be happy to know the units you control in battle are familiar, from explosive Creepers to stalwart Golems. And the overworld of Minecraft is one that’s easily approachable, especially if you’re a fan of the original sandbox game.

Controls have been simplified so that even if you’re not familiar with the tactics needed to handle a typical RTS title, you can keep up with the combat regardless. And while the combat might feel a bit rote, the atmosphere of Ghostwire: Tokyo is superb, and anyone interested in playing could play it for that reason alone.Īs Minecraft Dungeons did with the Diablo formula, Minecraft Legends takes a swing at real-time strategy games, and for the most part, it succeeds in offering a streamlined version of the genre. It’s a marginally chilling tale, but many of the narratives of the side quests are more emotionally gripping.

He then has to battle it out with various spirits and the group responsible for everything that has happened. You play as a young man who has mysteriously survived the “vanishing” of the rest of Tokyo’s inhabitants and finds himself partnering with a paranormal entity. That’s not to say elements of horror are absolutely missing from Ghostwire, but the title is more focused on the action of its combat than jump scares. Roaming a Tokyo filled with nothing but monsters from Japanese horror stories and the empty clothes of citizens who have been ghosted out of existence might sound like a terrifying prospect, but Ghostwire: Tokyo makes it a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
