BEST STRATEGY GAME
KOSTA ANDREADIS
TOTAL WAR: WARHAMMER II
The most captivating and diverse campaign in the series yet. And further proof that mixing fantasy and Total War was a wise decision. JAMES COTTEE
COLD WATERS
Another maritime simulation triumph from Paul Sincock and Killerfish Games. As the captain of a nuclear attack submarine during the Cold War, your job is to sink every Soviet vessel you can find in the frigid North Atlantic, carefully hiding yourself between thermal layers to avoid sonar detection. A true spiritual successor to Tom Clancy’s Red Storm Rising, and Australian Made to boot. DANIEL WILKS
TOTAL WAR: WARHAMMER II
I’m a sucker for both Total War and Warhammer. The first game was fun but flawed when it came to encounters and the randomised difficulty curve, but Warhammer II nails it. DAVID WILDGOOSE

All the strategic depth you need, without the extraneous bullshit.
