3 Short Reviews [Windows, iOS]

Age of Wonders III [Windows]

Age of Wonders III is very similar to Heroes of Might and Magic VI but I think the combat is a little more tactical. That said it does suffer a bit from Might and Magics problem where basically you just amass the largest army you can and then you can crush everything in your path. Still it's a lot of fun and it just has a ridiculous fantasy setting that is so enjoyable. It has everything from flame tanks to undead dragons. Also it looks incredible. It has a huge set of skills and abilities to allow for all of this, which can be pretty difficult to grasp at first. This can also lead to unfair battles as you may have a range of fire units, that then come up against something that is immune to fire. Remembering all of this is going to be a nightmare for most but hardcore turn based fans will love it. This is what Might and Magic should be 8.0/10.

Goat Simulator [Windows]

Created out of a game jam Goat Simulator was never meant to become an actual sellable product and it borderline isn't. It will always be held up as a fan favourite and yes you can get a lot of fun out of it but only if it really appeals to you. Want to be a goat and run around looking silly, being silly, in a bug riddled and silly world? Good then that is the point. There is a free content patch coming out next month which will add a new world to explore plus a lot of other things. So perhaps with the patch and a Steam sale it would be worth picking up but otherwise leave it to the goats 6.9/10.

Sun Flowers [iOS]

Sun Flowers is now available for free and sees you in the role of the sun, looking after... flowers. Basically you need to send sun rays through clouds to water your plants and get them to grow. Be careful though as you could burn the plants by hitting a thunder cloud or missing a rain cloud all together. Then you get play around with the plants you found in your garden. There is a game here but it isn't much of one. It's all very cursory and doesn't keep my interest at all. If you really like the art style and flowers maybe it's for you but I wouldn't recommended it 5/10.
