"Arcen Games brings gamers back to the world of Environ in a brand new adventure unlike any you’ve seen before. Is A Valley Without Wind 2 a trip worth taking?"
Our Top 15 LAN Compatible Games include Dying Light, Age of Wonders III and Farming Simulator 15 just to name a few. That is if you are ever hosting a LAN Party and want to laugh at others (or get laughed at) in person while playing these games.
Even though I don't like the idea of Farming Simulator, there aren't that many LAN games out there any more, and shooters seem to be forcing non-local matchmaking. It's great to see what I can play with my friends at a huge birthday party.
There are actually a few that we didn't include within this list and of course one could always turn to Classic games for LAN but it is frustrating not having local matchmaking for newer shooters.
This feels less like a sequel and more like a re-imagining of what the first Valley Without Wind was supposed to be. It fixes a lot. The mash-up of genres makes more sense now, splitting your time between managing the world map like a turn-based strategy game and exploring the grid spaces as a 2D action platformer. The platforming, however, is even less interesting than it was in the original game...
Chris Park: "Postmortem sounds so grisly, doesn't it? I was tempted to call this a retrospective, but that sounds a bit foofy. So here we are. This isn't even a true retrospective, because AI War is still going strong and looks to remain that way for some time.
The time period this postmortem will examine is May 2009 through the end of May 2013."
This game has a Wonderful mix of Genres blended into one!
Looks like a sleeper Hit!
