Just the words “city builder” are enough to get my attention. Tack on “grand strategy”—as in you not only build a city but clash with a larger world using military and economic strategies—and I’m even more interested.

But if you’re wondering when Cities: Skyline 2 will start flinging paid DLC your way, you’re in for a bit of a wait. Colossal Order CEO Mariina Hallikainen said today that paid content won’t…

The best part of Starfield is undeniably your spaceship, which can be customized or built from scratch to look like anything from a cute little ladybug to a massive Star Destroyer.  So it’s kind of a shame you don’t have more control over your ship in Starfield. You can fight battles while hovering in orbit,…
