Satellite Reign
### Summary
Free roam squad based RTS/RPG with a cyberpunk setting running in the classical veins of Syndicate. Start from the ground up with a weak squad and limited supplies, and slowly work your way up the food chain to take on the big corporations. Acquire a mass of guns and upgrades to help you accomplish your goals. Decide whether you want to use stealth, sheer firepower or a mix of both to complete your objectives and rise to the top.
Plays a lot like Dawn of War II with a Blade Runner theme whilst being fresh and unique. Highly recommended!

===========================
Looking for a sequel to Syndicate Wars?
Unsure whether this is for you?
It’s a very tough call.
A bullet-point comparative breakdown.
Satellite Reign is the best revival yet seen of its predecessor. At about 30hrs in to the final release I am enjoying it, despite it leaving me wanting. Aside from this game’s amazing visuals - which are indeed damn near perfect, the biggest differences between this game and Syndicate are in its comprisal of main gameplay mechanics.

Fell Seal: Arbiter’s Mark
This game in my mind is nothing short of a masterpiece. There are so many aspects of the game which are thoroughly incredible on their own merit but when put together become something truly breathtaking. The game is often compared to FF:TA and with due reason but there are many aspects which far outshone anything that FF:TA ever did.
One thing that stood out to me was the depth of the class system and, with the addition of the monsters and missions dlc, the introduction of the monster class system. There is a huge number of classes for both humans and monsters with some story characters having unique story based classes. It feels very fleshed out and the sheer number of unique and powerful abilities/passives and the ability to combine them to create your own unique super soldiers is intoxicating.

Great Game!, if you are fan of SRPG types, FFT, TO;luct, VH, then this is Good. Its simple but covers alot of things. CAN YOU SWIM??? lol (I tried to avoid spoilers below, but just incase, you have been warned.)
Things I loved, its like old school SRPGs, 35 classes, lots of customization, (some of the same OP stuff, lol) crafting, side missions, that continue to go while offline/city(buff) building, stealing, crafting, No Random Battles* Auto AI battle abilities, the AI wouldnt do exactly what i would do during a mission but allows me to do other household things and take care of baby. I say these things as a casual player, (2.5 jobs and kids) I dont have alot of playtime so the real time Missions help me get some Points. I cant reiterate enough how nice of a feature that is for me. I got characters injuried in battle, ill just Patrol, Auto AI some lower level troops, while some others on missions. Love it. Haha 200+ hours of playtime, but maybe 70 is actual sit down and play, learn/customize/hunt/secrets/play.

Guns of Icarus Online
My rating of this game speaks for itself when you look at my credentials and see that I have laid down 3000+ hours in to this title. That said though there is a lot this game has to offer if you are considering obtaining this title. Bearing this review in mind I have since become apart of the development team as an intern at the time of writing this, I speak first and foremost as a player with personal opinions about this particular title.
All that said, this game is a steampunk style game, and with it teamwork and strategy is the biggest names of the game here. Communication and coordination with crews as well as allied ships on how each team engages one another is paramount to victory or defeat. Most matches usually run for about a good 15 minutes and are packed with the anticipation of engagements, counter-engagements and various methods for obtaining each map’s goals.

TLDR at bottom.
-Do you enjoy intricate team based gameplay, where you need to trust in the skill of your allies?
-Do you enjoy relatively easy mechanics that are tough to master?
-Do you fancy yourself a leader, that likes to communicate and see his orders carried out by real people?
-Do you love a game with a close tight community, where people follow the rules and everyone is willing to teach you?
If you said yes to any of these Guns of Icarus has a place for you.
-Do you not like having non transparent game mechanics? ( engines below 50% im looking at you )
