Turn-based strategy (TBS) video games

I had the best time playing it. Reccomend for everyone. It is one of the all time bests.

This might be a touch controversial, but I love this game even more so than its beloved predecessor. I say this without hyperbole: I think KOTOR II is the finest Star Wars game ever made, and I hold it next to works like Andor and the original Thrawn trilogy as the absolute pinnacle of the Expanded Universe. The reason is in the game's writing. Set some years after the events of the first game, we are the Jedi Exile - one of the very last Jedi in a galaxy torn apart by Revan and Malak's war. The Exile returns to the galaxy to find it shattered; there's a bounty for any remaining Jedi, and a hidden coven of Sith hunt us, desperate to destroy the final vestiges of their hated enemy. The characters at the centre of the story are exceptionally written, chief among which is Kreia. A blind old Jedi, she functions as a twisted mirror to Obi-Wan in Episode 4, a broken, bitter, and twisted mentor who constantly questions our morality and weaves plots and nasty whispers in our ears. The result is a vicious deconstruction of many of Star Wars' central concepts as characters orbit around the Exile, providing a dark, warped, deeply philosophical take on the franchise. Of course, KOTOR II is perhaps most infamous for its incredibly short development time, and as a result it has a ton of cut content such that many consider it an unfinished game. And yet, I honestly don't think that matters. What is here is nigh-perfect in my mind, an unrivalled story that showcases the best of Obsidian's work. Check out my full review!

Disciples. A turn-based strategy game in which you rule over four kingdoms; - The Empire (Humans) - The Mountain Clans (Dwarves) - The Undead Hordes - The Legions of the Damned (Demons) Disciples centres on the clash between four distinct factions. The game features a main saga that forms the core of the story. However, in addition to this, the other factions also have their own sagas and additional storylines. You begin the game with one of these four factions. You always have a party ready on the map. You can add members to this party or send them into battle to gain experience. The best part about gaining experience is that each party’s hero unlocks different skills. With skills unlocked at specific levels, you can carry a book, a flag or an artefact (which provide specific buffs), or increase the number of warriors in your team and strengthen your hero. Of course, these come at a certain cost. Gold is the main currency used in the game. In addition to this, there are Life, Infernal, Runestone and Death Mana stones. You’ll either capture and control villages to obtain these, or send out your scout to seize them. You can also cast spells on the map using these four mana stones. Whilst buffing yourself, you can summon creatures, nerf your enemies or deal damage. You can also summon a scout to explore buildings whose interiors are hidden. One of the most interesting aspects of the game is attacking the enemy’s castle. Let’s say you’ve maxed out your defence and evasion to 99 per cent. Once you’ve eliminated the final defences in the castle, the game is complete. So you don’t actually have to complete the main quest. However, reaching 99 per cent is difficult. That’s why you die instantly if you’re attacked. Don’t try it :) By the way, the game’s soundtrack is brilliant...

Balatro is a surprisingly original and addictive game that manages to turn something as simple as poker into a much deeper experience. The combination of jokers, cards and different synergies creates a lot of possibilities, and finding a build that completely changes the way you play is genuinely satisfying. The main issue for me is that the gameplay can become repetitive after a while. Once you understand the core loop, a lot of runs can start to feel quite similar, especially compared to other roguelikes with more variety in their moment-to-moment gameplay. That said, I really appreciate how simple the game is to understand while still having a surprising amount of depth. It’s a very well-designed and original concept, but personally I don’t think it has enough variety to put it among the very best games of its genre.

Bir oyunda aradığım özgürlüğü bana en iyi bu oyun verebildi. Bir hikaye anlatmak istediği için tamamen salmıyor ama bu hikayeyi anlatırken de oyuncuyu kısıtlamıyor, akla gelmeyecek seçenekler bile sunuyor. Bazen oyunlar, oyuncusunu aptal gördüğü için önüne bir sandalye koyup yolu kapatır veya bir yan sokaktan gireyim dediğinde görev başarısız der, işte BG3 tam da bunlardan rahatsız olanlara hitap ediyor.
