The greatest space empire manager, no competition comes close. Loads of replayability, with many options to start a very different galactic civilization in every playthrough. OST is a masterpiece, sound design is ASMR, and graphics and UI are to my liking. Fleet combat might be lacking more interesting mechanics, but it isn't the focus of the game. The economic and diplomatic management is some of th best, but internal politics aren't as good.

The stories the game weaves around your empire are one of its main draws: the tales of your kind, even if sometimes repeated, feel unique and will make every run special, and all with references to many sci-fi works. In that regard, this game is a love letter to sci-fi, one I thoroughly enjoyed.

This game is for you if you like sci-fi and strategy, you won't find anything like this anywhere else.

Darktide is the best Warhammer 40k game out there. Its attention to detail, the magnificent OST, the weapon design, the hordes of enemies, it all fits together nicely in a package blessed by the Emperor. I've had what I assume are some server problems and a crash or two, but I would still recommend Darktide to anyone who likes coop horde shooters on the basis of this being a very good game.

It has its problems, but it's the best ancient history strategy game out there by far.

I must define FIFA 23's gameplay as anti-football. This videogame is satire, it's an insult to the sport.

Defensive gameplay is horrible, second man press is almost useless, you try to tackle the opponent and the ball bounces straight back to them every time. Defense from both sides leave gaps open on purpose so that there's more goals in the matches, and even if you try to fill those spaces, your players will open up somewhere else.

Attacking is decent in comparison, but still lacking. The ally AI's positioning inside the box is absolute trash. Turning a cross into a goal is much harder than it should be. Running behind defenders is too easy, and pace is ridiculous. Animations are cool until they are sped up out of nowhere because the game needs them to be faster due to whatever happens with how the game is coded.

Don't buy this game nor EAFC 24. Spend your money on a real football and practice some tricks instead, it'll be more fun and healthier for your body and mind.
