Welcome folks, and happy “746th Anniversary of the Invasion of Tsushima” week! This is the week that Kublai Khan kicked off the Mongol invasion of Japan by landing 1,000 troops on the island of Tsushima, as featured in Ghost of Tsushima. Unfortunately, the game wasn’t as historically accurate as it was first hyped. Turns out, there weren’t actually golden birds flying around everywhere, and the haiku hadn’t even been invented yet—samurai poetry was still at a more primitive, dirty limerick stage. Anyway, you may all celebrate by thinking “Hey, maybe I should get back and finish Ghost of Tsushima”.

A Game of Thrones: The Board Game - Digital Edition brings Fantasy Flight’s brutal, friendship-testing strategy game and its awesome character art to the PC. It’s by specialist board game adaptors Asmodee, and includes the Vassal system from Mother of Dragons, though I think they’re holding back some of the other expansions for DLC. Up to 6 players can play local or online co-op, or you can take on the AI. How does the AI handle all the secret alliances and backstabbing? How long will a play session take? Can you ever win with the Greyjoys?

9th Dawn III: Shadow of Erthil brings this mobile series to the bigger machines. It’s a top-down, indie dungeon crawler that looks like the dev was trying to do Skyrim in Gauntlet. It includes a mishmash of mobile game features, such as catching and training creatures, fishing, and a collectible card game.

The Survivalists is a survival-sandbox game, more on the mellower Stardew Valley side, set in the Escapists universe. Washed up on a desert island, you and up to 3 friends need to explore, hunt, and build to survive. Much of this cute game, with its soothing soundtrack, is based upon enslaving the abundant local monkey population: forcing them to fight for you or to destroy their own habitat in order to build up your base. All while you head off to find hidden temples and whatnot.

Are you one of those Assassin’s Creed fans whose favourite part of that entire series of games is when you get to be the bird and just fly around? Then Aery - Sky Castle is for you.

Ministry of Broadcast is George Orwell’s 1984 reimagined as an adventure platformer. Your character is in a totalitarian reality TV show and must solve puzzles to escape. Ah, fiction.

Sports-wise, it’s not a bad week, with all-platform releases of FIFA 21, RIDE 4, and Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix.

I’ll throw the GOTW to A Game of Thrones: The Board Game - Digital Edition—having the computer handle the chits and crunch the numbers makes it more approachable, and for just a third of the price of the tabletop edition.

Comments

Thanks for the write up Felix I love these posts and they always lift my Monday mornings! I feel strangely drawn to FIFA despite not having played a football game since PES 7 in the early 2000s . Does anyone hear play them and have fun with the single player? Is there any room for fun in the multiplayer for someone who has been out of the game this long?

Soooooooo, nada?

Why does Cersei look like she's suggesting to Jaime that they do it on the Iron Throne?

Ikenfell for me. Kickstarter it a long time ago and it's on game pass too.
