Every now and then, I like to break away from the games I typically gravitate to in the hopes of finding something new. While Townsmen: A Kingdom Rebuilt isn’t wholly original in what it offers as a town building sim, it does have a certain air of charm to it, despite its apparent rough edges.

This latest installment of the Darksiders series sees War and Strife, two of the Four Horsemen, tasked with tracking down Lucifer, as he plots against the Charred Council, who are mysterious beings that uphold the very balance of existence. While the whereabouts of the other two Horsemen are unknown, you’ll only take on the roles of War, the protagonist from the first Darksiders game, and Strife, who while appearing in previous entries, makes his playable debut here.

Journey to the Savage Planet was a game I purchased from word of mouth and from seeing a bit of it streamed on Twitch. Its colorful creatures, often humorous dialogue and brief moments of action accompanied me along the adventure of exploring this strange alien world. In many ways, this feels like the game I wanted from No Man’s Sky, but sadly, much of what Journey to the Savage Planet offers isn’t as well-executed as its premise and while it makes for an alright adventure, it’s not that particularly thrilling.

While Zombie Army: Trilogy, released back in 2015 was a very enjoyable co-op zombie shooter, it lacked a great deal of polish across the board, making the title extremely fun, but rarely impressive. Half a decade later, Zombie Army 4: Dead War makes good on that polish and executes on exactly what this series needed to be.
