Recommended | Metro Exodus review - 4A's post-nuclear shooter widens its horizons without losing its soul
Railgun.
There are two sides to Metro Exodus, 4A's third and probably greatest post-apocalyptic adventure - two varieties of space engaged in a hesitant dialogue. On the one hand, there are the wilds of post-nuclear Russia, absurdly splendid, absurdly deadly and moderately open-ended, from dessicated ports where beached tankers jut like dinosaur bones, to ice-locked cities whose sewers have become intestines, clogged with squirming radioactive polyps. Here, you'll act much as you do in other virtual wilderness escapades - trotting to the points of interest you've circled on your paper map, shaking down corpses for crafting resources and avoiding or murdering the many people and things who want to make soup from your thighbones.

Feature | Video game history is the future in The Eternal Castle
Ancient bitstory.
The first thing you need to know about The Eternal Castle is it's a remaster of the 1987 original of the same name. Well... except it isn't. This ruse could easily be a gag or pretentious bullshit but the pretence it's a remaster of a game that came out decades ago is the first clue this game is about the past.

Feature | How a five-year game of Civilization 5 became a meaningful part of my personal history
All roads lead to Rome. Eventually.
For the first 5000 years, nothing much happened. We must have embarked on our epic enterprise sometime in late 2013, though neither of us suspected we were about to spend the next five years embroiled in a seemingly never-ending coop hot-seat game of Civilization 5. If we had, we'd probably have played something else instead. It was folly, but by the time we realised, it was too late; we had become thoroughly invested, the game had taken on a life of its own, and there was nothing else but to see it to its (eventual) end. On and off, we kept chipping away at our task, sometimes meeting every few weeks for a couple of hours, sometimes once every couple of months. But soon our time with the game had to be measured not in months, but in years, and our game of Civilization had become a sort of parallel history to our personal lives.
