is another game I’m fairly sure you’ve heard of, if not played. This game has been around for a long while, and has played a significant role in the history of games. I, personally, have been playing it since the days of Civ 2, and own pretty much every iteration and DLC ever published for the game. You could call me a little bit obsessed. For at least Monday, I will be playing Civilization 5, which remains my favorite of the series. I own 6, but it just hasn’t grabbed my heart like 5 did. There is a chance I might play 6 on Tuesday, however, just to give it another try.

Playing this game again brought back SO many memories. Good ones, bad ones, in-between ones… it was truly a fun revisit. It honestly made me put this game on the list for a future long-play on my Twitch Channel. There is SO much to love about this game, and the game of the year edition I was playing (un-modded) seemed to be WAY less buggy than I remember the game being when I played it originally. Again, a game I highly recommend!

I honestly have sat here for the past couple weeks trying to figure out what to say in this wrap-up that I hadn’t said already, and I’ve come up super blank. It’s a great game, I enjoy playing it, and if you’re into management or building simulations at all, this is totally a game you’d like. Highly recommended!

If you’re into real-time strategy at ALL, you’ve played- or at least heard of – the Age of Empires series. It’s been a staple of that particular genre for a very long time. I was hesitant to back a new iteration of the game at first, but after watching some gameplay, and then trying it out myself on Gamepass, I went in with both feet. This is a GREAT version of the game, that not only improves gameplay, but adds some REAL history into it – making it an educational game. Which is something I really enjoy, and the videos and articles in game about the real history are well-filmed, and well-researched. It’s like watching a documentary that you can actually play along with. (Which, for me.. is a super good thing!) If you’re not into the history, I suppose you could skip those – but why would you play this sort of game if you don’t like the history???

Starting Wednesday, (tomorrow), I will be publishing the Game of the Week a bit earlier, so everyone will be able to know what’s coming sooner. Also: I just published the March Shell Challenge, so check that out, as well!
