It’s been a while since I wrote anything here and honestly, this was mostly because I didn’t play anything to write about until now. Sorcerer King is the latest game in the series of 4x games made by Stardock. As far as I can tell, it’s placed in the same universe as Elemental: War of Magic and Elemental: Fallen Enchantress, and it’s pretty good, fun game. As any other game of this type I’ve tried, though, it fails to capture the feeling Master of Magic was able to offer decades ago. Still, it comes very close, even if we don’t ignore the many technical flaws the game has, so it was good enough for me to play through it entirely, and good enough to write about.

Heroes of Annihilated Empires – I Was Tricked!
I was tricked! There is no other way to say it. Heroes of Annihilated Empires was a game I played for a bit years ago and kept thinking about playing again ever since. It had this original and rarely used theme that I really wanted to explore fully.
Now, years later, I can honestly say I was completely wrong. It did not have this theme. It only looked like it did.
Heroes of Might and Magic – The Other Part of the Franchise
I’ll be honest. I’ve kind off been cheating lately, playing several different games but not really sticking through the end of any of them. Sure, The Darkest Dungeon is early access so I guess it’s OK I’m not going through that one all the way, but i started the Witcher 2 months ago and left it about half-way through. I also have a game of Crusader Kings II running, with a draft for a posting only half-written. This one, I really wanted to give an honest try, though. It’s Might and Magic, after all.
Sid Meier’s Alien Crossfire – Great, Not Perfect
Over the course of a couple of days, I’ve finally played through a complete match/game/campaign/whatever of Sid Meier’s Alien Crossfire, the expansion to Alpha Centauri. It’s truly an amazing game and I’ve held this opinion since the moment I first played it. It’s not perfect, though.
Dungeon Keeper [1] – The First and Proper One
I’ll be honest. A minor part of why I started playing Dungeon Keeper is because I’ve been thinking about doing it for a while. A major part, though, is because a mobile sequel was released and there’s a lot of controversy around it. I get what the controversy is about and where it’s coming from, but I’ve been trying to stay positive lately, so instead of saying why I hate a game I probably won’t ever play, I thought I’d play the first Dungeon Keeper and talk about why I love it. First, however, I have a confession to make.Continue reading
Reus [2] – Shift in Focus
When I last wrote about Reus, I already had a decent completion percentage in the game. I thought I had the game figured out and understood how it will continue to play. I was wrong, very wrong. Now that I’m past 50%, I can see that clearly (I think).Continue reading
Reus [1] – Weird
What is Reus? I have no idea, and I’ve played it for about 3 to 4 hours now. As the title says, it’s weird. In a good way, but still weird. In any case, I feel I’ve played it enough to say something about it, so here goes. I wonder how this new posting format will work.
Crusader Kings II – Trpimirović Dynasty [2]
A few decades after my last report about the Trpimirović Dynasty, things sure have changed. My interest in Crusader Kings II, however, hasn’t changed a bit. This game is wasting a huge amount of my free time and I’m loving every moment of it.Continue reading
Fiz [2] – Game Completed
Well, that’s another Android game that I’ve marathoned through. It took me over ten hours to get to the ending, but there’s little to write about while playing Fiz, which should explain the lack of articles.Continue reading
Crusader Kings II – Trpimirović Dynasty [1]
Time for one more round of Crusader Kings II. Last time I allowed myself to get hooked to this game, it took me 30 hours to get away from it. Let’s see how it ends up this time.
