The ‘Dark Crystal’ tactics game arrives on February 4th
[ad_1] The developers are aiming to serve both veterans of turn-based tactics games and newcomers to the concept, as you might expect for a game banking on a well-known fantasy universe. There’s also a fair amount of depth. The finished title will include over 50 campaign battles, and you can both recruit new fighters as […]

What we played in November: ‘The Outer Worlds’ and ‘Destiny 2’
[ad_1] The Outer Worlds Andrew TarantolaSenior Editor The Outer Worlds could have been a contender, but this promising space opera was over barely after it had begun.

The ‘Narcos’ game is coming to PC and consoles in November
[ad_1] The core gameplay style appears to be similar to X-Com and other tactical titles, but there are a few twists.
