Maia is probably going to be brilliant. This extra-terrestrial colony simulator merges Dungeon Keeper-style base management with AI systems so granular you could sweeten your tea with them, and is infused with darkly comic writing that encapsulates the creeping insanity of a close-knit community isolated on the absolute fringes of human existence. You can clearly see where it's headed, and you can predict its trajectory for getting there.

It's been more than a year since Skyrim developer Bethesda Game Studios moved wholesale onto its "next major project", which we expect to be Fallout 4. The game was in pre-production while Skyrim DLC rolled out, and in April 2013 was declared ready for the team's "full attention".

The Tropico series has long endeavoured to inject a dose of humour, a splash of colour and a foot-tapping calypso beat into a genre that can sometimes appear stuffy and staid.
