Phoenix Point is a tactics game with a surprisingly complex 4x-style overworld from Julian Gollop, creator of the original X-Com.

For the rest of us, it is a game that only became more enjoyable once the fairweather fans had dispersed....

As a young fan, my dream Pokémon game contained three important features - returning to an old region like in Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal, destroying buildings with Mewtwo and escaping the chains of the route system, so I could explore a region to its very core. While I’m begrudgingly coming to terms with the fact that an instalment containing two regions may never occur again (still holding out hope for the Mewtwo dream), an open-world Pokémon game has finally arrived in the form of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet....
