Origins: First Builders Review
Origins: First Builders puts you in a world where these aliens have popped over to say hi, and are willing to teach us all about building and warfare, and all that good stuff.
Magnate: The First City Review
“Ooh, it looks like Monopoly! Is it like Monopoly?”. No, friend, this game is Magnate: The First City, and it’s nothing like Monopoly
Pendulum Review
Real-time worker-placement?? What on Earth were they thinking?
