As expected, Turn 10 is hard at work on the next generation version of the popular Forza Motorsport series.

Speaking of bullet penetration, keep in mind it’s a double-edged sword. Grenades can damage friendly units if they’re too close to the point of impact, but so can every other attack, a fact players might learn the hard way if you have a unit on overwatch and they hit one of your soldiers who’s behind a moving en
The Paladin skills more or less create a healer-tank of the Vanguard; picking up Rally, which effectively grants passive healing to squad mates for attacking, and Stand Together, a 10 meter revival burst that simultaneously grants a defensive buff, lets the Vanguard pitch in to the healing effort without cutting in on combat versatility. While effective in its own way, the Assault branch is a lot more situational than the other three, granting buffs to the Vanguard for damage received by both them and their squad ma
The weakest part of Tactics is its mid-to-late-game objective variety. I’m looking at you, accursed side missions. Like many strategy games before it, Tactics ends up relying on the same few formulas for a good bit of its meat.

For starting stats go with +3 in either Strength or Finesse, +1 Warfare, +1 Scoundrel, and a Civil Ability that fits your character, like Thievery for Fane or Persuasion for Red Prince. Initial skills should include Crippling Blow for strong close-range damage, Battle Stomp to clear out areas and knockdown enemies, and Adrenaline to get bonus AP on your first action. Because the main Knight weapon is two-handed, they will have access to All In, which deals additional damage for 3 AP. If playing a human Knight, use Encourage at the start of a turn before attacks, not after as a means of spending unused AP. The same should be done for elf Knights and Flesh Sacrif

Few modern turn-based strategy games can compete with the engaging and enjoyable gameplay the XCOM series has. While the original XCOM games are classics, they might be difficult to get into if someone a newcomer to the ge
Emergence Holes are equal parts terrifying and wonderful. Sure, they spawn enemies that can attack the player right away. But if the player has a Heavy with a knock-back perk or even just explosives, they can force a Locust back down the hole, killing it instantly, even if it has full hea
Gears Tactics is the latest game in the Gears (or Gears of War , as boomers may call it) franchise. A radical departure for the third-person shooter series, Gears Tactics is instead a tactical, turn-based RPG similar to XCOM or the recently released John Wick Hex . So far, it’s also only available on PC, not the Xbox
Here’s a tip: if taking on a tough boss, injure all the weaker enemies first, but don’t kill them yet. When their health is sufficiently whittled down, unleash a string of executions at once to give a huge boost in action points that can be used on the b
