Game of the Month - February 2022

My main games were Wytchwood (which I posted about here) and Against the Storm (which has a thread here).

Against the Storm got a pretty big Early Access update, adding a new race of villagers, so that prompted me to ditch all my meta-progress and start the game from scratch. And it’s still really good, even if every session feels like it ends slightly anticlimactically.

It was also a Steam demo fest, and I checked out a number of city builders:

  • Pharaoh: A New Era - Mechanically faithful remake, though the updated UI needs work
  • The Wandering Village - Cool concept with a different take on a moving city than the great Airborne Kingdom
  • Celestial Empire - Chinese-themed city-builder with a lot of Anno influences. Still VERY early.
