![]() ![]() The Guild 3 released in early access last September to largely negative reception, with reviewers citing bugs and overall lack of content hindering the experience. Be an upstanding citizen, flipping your town into an economic haven, or be a generally shitty person and corrupt your town to gain power. ![]() It’s entirely possible that The Guild 3, the latest entry in the long-running life-in-the-Middle-Ages simulator, won’t end up being the top of anything good, but it’s certainly noteworthy. It’s not quite as glamorous as shiny space domes, but to each their own.Įxpect Occupy Mars to drop sometime this year. This is certainly a game that should appeal to hard sci-fi enthusiasts. Explore the planet, survive the planet, and upgrade your base and its vehicles. Maybe surviving Mars doesn’t pique your interest well, what about occupying? Occupy Mars: The Game is an ambitious thing – a technical, sprawling open-world sandbox wherein you stake your Mars base. There isn’t a concrete date just yet for Surviving Mars, but keep an eye for it this spring. Emphasis is placed on individually simulated citizens, meaning you must take care to balance needs. If your dreams are a tad grander than owning farmland, why not colonize Mars? Surviving Mars, from aforementioned Tropico veterans Haemimont Games and ever-reliable sim/strategy powerhouse Paradox Interactive, lets you build up your Red Planet with a neat little retro-futuristic aesthetic. Handle crops, machinery, animals, staff, and seasonal adversities (farm stuff to the lay) to become the most profitable patch of field you can muster.įarm Manager 2018 is currently in beta testing and despite a couple of issues one would expect with any management/tycoon sim, word is the game is shaping up nicely. Among the major additions to the franchise is the ability to build on an island archipelago (bridges are very exciting) and steal iconic wonders of the world, because this is Tropico and who gives a shit, it’s fun.ĭo games like Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley leave you with a yearning sense to go out there and build your own farm, only to realize you love your current lifestyle enough and such a thing is too radical a departure? Farm Manager 2018 is the game for you, my friend. Kalypso has tasked Limbic Entertainment ( Might & Magic series) with developing Tropico 6, shifting away from Haemimont Games, who led Tropico 3-5. It’s your nation – do as you see fit, unless said populace starts turning on you because pineapple isn’t sustainable nutrition and they’re constantly overlorded by imposing military towers. Want to conjure a tropical utopia, an envy of the world? Want to aggressively put a leash on your own populace because screw democracy at this point? Tropico 6 doesn’t care. ![]() Speaking of sims that let you range from kind to totally oppressive, Tropico 6 has you well covered, casting you as El Presidente, resident dictator of your very own island state. One month into the new year, what’s there to look forward to on the sim front in 2018 and after (in no particular order)? Luckily, most simulation games let you do both. Ruling your own slice of whatever is truly a beautiful thing, whether you’re a benevolent wannabe god or a malevolent force looking to punish the world around you. ![]()
