As part of my digging up of old games I’ve barely played – or never played, in this case – I started this, an odd turn-based strategy thing from the chaps who made Riviera. I’ve played for over three hours this weekend, but don’t really understand it. The are skills, but I can’t use them yet and, um, it’s all a bit confusing. I understand all the basics, haven’t died yet, but I’m never sure I’m really doing it properly. Also, the talky bits are dull as dishwater. I’m sure it’s a lovely game – it certainly looks gorgeous – but I’m not sure it’s for me.

I might just go and play Riviera again, because I don’t remember that being quite so confusing.
