W is for... War For The Overworld
A nostalgic look at Dungeon Keeper’s legacy and how War for the Overworld (2015) carried its torch. Brightrock Games honored the classic with familiar mechanics, renamed units, Richard Ridings’ voice, and balanced strategy gameplay. With solid content, DLCs, and accessible specs, it’s a worthy spiritual sequel for fans old and new.

U is for... UberSoldier II
UberSoldier II — a flawed but fun, cheap WW2 shooter best enjoyed without high expectations. Story’s forgettable, voice acting charmingly inconsistent, visuals decent but quirky, and gameplay improved from its predecessor. Worth playing after the first game, but don’t expect Call of Duty quality.

T is for... This is the Police
A return to This Is the Police reveals a rewarding balance of strategy and moral choices, despite early frustrations with pressure and repetition. Managing police resources, solving cases, and navigating shady deals create engaging tension. Some UI and narrative details fall short, but strong voice acting and a surprisingly good story make it worthwhile.

S is for... Spyro Reignited Trilogy (Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon)
Finally finished Spyro 3 after years! Fun, nostalgic, a bit buggy, but still worth it—just don’t ask me about the Speedway levels. 😅

N is for... Necromunda: Hired Gun
A fast-paced FPS with fun combat but a confusing story. Crashes & unclear plot hurt it, but worth getting if on sale.
