"When it comes to Vanillaware it is hard to go wrong. The developer has built up quite a reputation throughout the years of creating amazing looking games with their unique art style and generally accompanying it with either an amazing storyline or gameplay, but rarely both in one package. Now, with it being five years since their last fully original game and a couple years since their last remaster, Vanillaware has returned with Atlus at the helm once again to bring us back to the medieval fantasy realm with Unicorn Overlord. The last time Vanillaware tapped into this style was with Dragon’s Crown and but with Unicorn Overlord taking a far different approach to gameplay, is this once again a success for the storied developer?"
Gran Turismo 7, Hitman World of Assassination, The Crew, and more are discounted for a limited time.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Games can challenge you in many ways, from your reflexes, to your precision, or your ability to remember random information, but Strategy games are all about just that: planning and strategic thinking. That comes in many forms, from turn-based to real-time, and 2D to 3D, and it's probably the genre that blurs those lines the most. This year's nominees reflect that: classic RTS' are represented by Age of Mythology: Retold; the tactical RPG genre by Unicorn Overlord; turn-based, city-builder survival games by Frostpunk 2; and then age old card games are represented with a twist by surprise hit Balatro."
