"I love real time strategy (RTS) games. I love the thrill of building up an impregnable fortress; watching your villagers expand your economy, attacking an enemy with a well rounded army. Those are the things I crave in an RTS. When I was young, I constantly played games like Age of Empires II, Starcraft and Rise of Nations (I still play them today), as well as Empire Earth, Command and Conquer, Homeworld, and Age of Mythology. Those games define the "classic" era of RTS games. Nowadays, the classic RTS games are impossibly hard to find. It seems that the industry has hit a slump. Sure, there are some bright spots (like Sins of a Solar Empire), but overall there are very few RTS games on the market. How did the RTS market come to this? How did a flourishing genre suddenly grind to a halt? The answers are very unsettling." -from Reid!
Things are heating up in May a bit with Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, the Paper Mario TTYD remake, and a ton of promising indies. We pick the most interesting May games, from AAA to indie, so you can make sense of everything coming out.
Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.
Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.
One example

Wrong developer. Phil Phish was the developer behind Fez.
Jonathan Blow was behind Braid. If you're gonna cancel culture, don't take down the wrong indie...
Man, I don’t know why, but it also irks me when people try to tell others what to do. Fez was an awesome game, I couldn’t care less if the dev was a douche.
This is just extra cringe since the person actually doesn’t know what they’re talking about 🤦♂️
I wasn't cancel culturing shit. Phil phish is a complete douche. Did you bother to watch the video? Probably not.
I was wrong but call me cancel culture is just plain dumb also
Also crimson.
As you I'm human and we make mistakes. That was a mistake I mixed the games up. Shit happens. So go cringe yourself
Honest mistake, if you can watch that video and support the guy. Then I guess your in the same camp
You were wrong and that's that. Don't be so angry.
And yeah, that is a case example of cancel culture. It was a dozen years ago, he's apologized since, had Japanese developers rationalize with his remark, barely has done anything in the industry since Fez, and yet here you are, not even remembering the one game he made...
Check out the Year One Roadmap to see what comes after launch! Also, we’ve updated our recommended PC specs, and Collector’s Edition Unboxing videos are being posted.
Hopefully the delay is worth it. Gearbox Publishing and Blackbird Interactive are delaying the global launch of Homeworld 3 until May 13, 2024 from the planned March 8 launch date.
A good RTS is hard to come by now. I miss the good ol days when i used to play Command & Conquer, Age of Empires 3, Rise of Nations, all those classic games that i would spend hours on every day...its a shame there are no developers that are willing to step up to the plate and create a true killer, next-gen RTS.
