Releasing source code for a classic franchise is a big deal. Communities can keep old games alive even longer than developers sometimes. Modders already did amazing work with Command & Conquer Remastered Collection tools. So, giving the community deeper access means fans can experiment and...

For me, I think it’s Falling Frontier. Most RTS games focus only on combat but this one adds scouting and logistics properly. The strategy games feel deeper when information is limited. That kind of style is unique.

Freezing the oceans just to drive armies across sounds like proper RTS game. That kind of style have always fascinated me since the days of Supreme Commander. The environmental mechanics can completely change the battlefield. Imagine controlling the weather to trap your enemy armies or block the...

This one has been on my list for a while now. Logistics in space warfare is something most games ignore completely. This is because the supply chains decide the real wars more than those flashy weapons. Games like Homeworld touched logistics lightly but not this deep. If Falling Frontier...

I didn’t play them randomly at all. I started straight with StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty first because the story naturally flows from there. Playing them out of order would just cause a terrible confusion.

Thousands of units on screen already reminds me of what happened in historical battles like the Battle of Cannae where tactics and formations decided everything. Games with that many units can easily melt weaker PCs.

This concept sounds weird but also interesting. The RTS genre needs crazy ideas to spice things up. For years, most of the games just copied the same base building formula from StarCraft II style systems. This one is totally unique.

This is exactly why online gaming communities sometimes spoil so many good games. If anything goes wrong, suddenly people would mobilize thousands of negative reviews like it’s a political protest. Turning it into a big drama will just distracts everyone from fixing the actual issue.

MOBA mixed with RTS? That one already sounds stressful but in a good way because most MOBAs today feel like copy-paste of the same formula. Controlling a giant directly while also managing armies could actually change the pace. That dea sounds fresh honestly.

I was checking one campaign save yesterday night and just laughing at my own mistake. Expanded everywhere early in the game. I grabbed like six territories thinking I was smart. Next thing, my economy collapsed completely. A small empire with strong resources feels safer sometimes. Massive land...

For me, I think for games that simulate entire empires, diplomacy should be deeper. Trade deals, alliances, betrayals, all those things add seriousness to the world. I believe that games should at least give proper strategy options. Many 4X games focus too much on combat alone. Building...

For a couple of hours, I have been on a campaign. I actually won the whole thing without fighting serious wars. Just alliances and trade deals. So, this tells you that diplomacy wins sometimes. It feels smoother than having constant battles everywhere. Honestly, war victories look flashy but...

I was playing one strategy campaign yesterday evening and something kept bothering me. People always say expand expand and expand, take every territory you see. But sometimes managing small but strong resources feels smarter than controlling everywhere and struggling to maintain it. It reminded...

I played one RTS that threw me straight into combat straight away, there was no time to build anything properly. Honestly I enjoy base building more. Watching your economy grow slowly just feels very satisfying. Fast combat can be very stressful sometimes. Games should allow players relax small...

I was trying to relax yesterday and I jumped into one quick RTS game and boom, the opponent rushed my base like his life depended on it. That early rush thing can ruin the fun if you’re not ready. Now, I build my defense early and scout fast because of it. There was a time I ignored scouting and...

QTEs can be very annoying but sometimes they work if used properly. In God of War, those brutal finishers actually felt cinematic. The only problem is that many developers abused the mechanic later.

If Prototype 3 actually happens with Alex Mercer returning, that would wake up plenty of old fans. I still remember how crazy the first Prototype felt back then. Running across buildings and causing chaos everywhere. It's really crazy 🤣

Letting players skip boss fights actually makes sense depending on the player. This is because some players care more about the story than the combat because sometimes you get to a a boss that just wastes your time instead of adding challenges to the game.

Slitherine quietly became one of the most reliable names for hardcore strategy fans. Games like Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector and Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock prove they understand the audience very well. It's a pity that the big publishers are just chasing flashy AAA releases while smaller...

Base building gives RTS the needed soul honestly. Games where you start with nothing then grow slowly just feel very satisfying. That’s why classics like Age of Empires II still hook people today.
