Monday eXcursion: Frostpunk
Frostpunk is an exercise in misery. The latest city builder amongst many (SimCity, Cities: Skylines (C:S), the Anno series, Aven Colony, Surviving Mars and more), Frostpunk attempts something more than just the same old optimized living/working space, building-placement puzzle. Frostpunk demands you ask yourself, again and again, how far you’ll go to ensure your people’s… Read more

Monday eXcursion: Northgard
As I finished my first game of Northgard, I was grinning from ear to ear. It is one of those games where the mechanics, theme, and overall experience just clicked with me.
