Caution! This game is addicting. :D

I'm going to write a proper review for this amazing game someday.

I promise, I really am!

This game is a pretty epic real-time WW2 strategy game. Tough similar to its predecessor, its the differences that make it better. In addition to regular infantry it also offers many favorites from WW2's heavier arsenal.

The basic gameplay is common to all RTS games, gather resources (capture resource points) and lay waste to your enemy. Since this game focuses mostly on the combat aspect building is only necessary for defensive structures. Military units feel well balanced.

PS. Here tactics and teamwork matter, or else you'll get your bum handed to you on a silver platter.

This game is similar to the connect the pipes doohickey. You go head to head with other factory owning NPC in building a route for transport across the map. You can build the road straight through and over obstacles or zigzag around them.

The gameplay is straightforward - using any means necessary, build a route and get your cargo truck to the other side before your opponents do so.

PS. NPC's AI will get really childish later in the game, making it even more awful than it is.

This is by far the best one of the current Mount & Blade games. The base game offers a pretty good first or third person view into a future warlord in the making. This game offers a fairly large real time strategy map for travelling large distances between the different nations and their kingdoms and also a first or third person medieval combat instance.

The game offers the regular role playing ability to gain experience and level up your character. Gain money by trading, selling loot or slaves gained after a battle or looting and harassing the innocent smallfolk. Mods add additional moneymaking means (loans, buying land or investing into manufacturing). Gained funds can be spent on weapons, armor, horses and food for your companions and troops.

The main goal of the game is to carve out a juicy piece of Calradia for your future domain (a kingdom or an empire or etc.) for your eventual retirement. This can be achieved by attaching yourself to an existing ruler or gaining favor with a crowned ex-pretender and being gifted some lands. Or just by marching over the walls on the backs of a massive army with crossbows blazing.

PS. There also exists a properly well made A Song of Ice and Fire mod for all of you Game of Thrones fans, which offers the whole of Westeros and 1/3 of Essos to play with (and also some epic quests, but no dragons...).

This is just a basic click and achieve number game. Basically all you have to do to get ahead is tap your mouse and get your DPS higher and higher into astronomical numbers and of course get more and more money. The money can be spent on buying new heroes who boost your DPS massively or on upgrading them for more DPS.

At first this game is kind a fun, but after few rounds it gets kind a boring and after 500,000 clicks and some time spent farming money at a boss it just gets downright annoying. And when you have finally, finally reached the promised level 140 with all heroes OP'ed up to the wazoo, you get the option to redo it all over again.

PS. It's appeal is the easy level ups an achievements, but don't get hooked in by those.

This is an awesome grand scale real-time strategy game. It offers a huge map with the whole of Europe, Arabia and parts of Africa and Asia. The playable timescale ranges from the 8th to the 14th century. All those available times and areas mass up a large number of playable characters high and low (from an emperor to a count) from any ethnicity or religion.

There are two main goals in this game: lie, cheat, kill, marry or build as big of a domain as possible and get a successor whom you can play with, when your current character gets assassinated, falls ill, gets killed in battle or dies of old age while sitting on the throne.

The game is actually really interesting and for a history buff like me a nice treat(and the Wikipedia Link helps out also) since I've spent at least 1/3 of my total playtime just absorbing history.

Some negative stuff also. Since the game is more of a grand scale you don't get detailed battles (like in the Total War series). And if you have some mods added or cheat, you won't get any achievements. And the game activation process can be a little bit annoying, since you have to do it on the Paradox website.

PS. The game is only enjoyably playable with the large number of available DLC's.
PPS. There is a really properly made A Song of Ice and Fire mod for all of the Game of Thrones fans out there.
