  Ask JR At Christmas!

  

  ASK JR

  
  Another year pushes towards it's inevitable conclusion, and as we in the UK enjoy what might well be the last Christmas where food and alcohol are i plentiful supply, it's time once again where we suspend our festive joyous festive activities to think of those less fortunate than ourselves, to help the less fortunate and spread festive cheer.
  
  Dear JR,
  I've been spending my festive break in little known management simulator "Crossroads Inn". All mypatrons...

  Barrel Simulator

  Imagine, if you will, the 17th century Caribbean, we all know about the Pirates, the Corsairs, the Governers flamboyant sons, all of whom have already had their own videogames (OK, well maybe not that last one) but we all know who the true hero of 17th century maritime life was...the humble barrel.
  And now, it would appear, you can fulfill all your darkest barrel fantasies in Gaming Minds studio's Port Royal 4.
  The name is certainly a placeholder.
  Probably.

  Look. News.

  
  
  Top Grand Strategy Supremo's Paradox have today announced a mafia strategy game.
  There are not many details at present, but I suspect the usual suspects will be up in arms about the use of the "angry black woman" trope.
  Truthfully, I'm curious to see how long this sits here before anyone notices it
  (Belimawr excepted. It's his site, I dare say he has notifications set up!)...

  Civilisation VI: Gathering Storm.

  
  Civilisation VI:- Gathering Storm
  
  
  Civ V was released to a wave of anguish from gamers complaining about how it was a massive retrograde step backwards from Civ IV in it’s AI, graphics and playability. Over the course of two expansion packs many of these issues were resolved and many now heralded Civ V Brave New World as the pinnacle of the series. Wrong people, obviously, IV is still better.
  
  And so to Civ VI, released to a wave of anguish from gamers regarding...

  Last year, we were mostly playing........

  Last Year we were mostly playing
  
  
  And here we are again, another year closer to annihilation and the nothingness which follows, and all we can do is stand around remarking on how fast the past year has gone whilst wondering if next year will be faster (It won’t be, though the year after will be slower if that is any consolation to you).
  
  However these musings are not why we are here, indeed we gather to answer a far more important question. In the year of Russian poisonings,...

  ​
  At Christmas

  
  
  
  I know, I know, I’m very late and your enjoyment of the festive season is incomplete until you have seen the problems of the rich and infamous solved.
  
  After all, if you are not famous, then you are simply not as important.
  
  
  
  Dear JR,
  
  
  On the feast of Stephen, I was looking out on the landscape presented in what can only be the fundamental Christmas gaming experience, Frostpunk,...

  Ask JR

  
  I know, I know, It's been a while since I have had the time to spare helping the little people of the online world in their various problems, but now that what shall be known as "The Summer of Weddings" is over, I can get back to spending my time as the altruistic saint that I am.
  I hope you are all eternally grateful.
  
  
  Dear JR,
  
  
  Well I’ve recently found myself with a surfeit of spare time, and so in contrast to the wonderful weather...

  FrostPunk

  
  Do you wanna build a post apocalyptic city set in the aftermath of an unknown worldwide calamity which has plunged the world into another ice age?
  
  C’mon let’s go and play.
  
  Frostpunk is a small scale city builder with a steampunk aesthetic.
  
  Starting with a small band of survivors, you must forge a path in this increasingly hostile environment to ensure the survival of mankind, well for approximately a month. Apparently that’s all the time you need to...

  Well here in the UK, as winter throws one final attempt to solve the pension crisis at us (claims that the government have know for a month about the cold snap, but saw it as an opportunity to cull old people remain unsubstantiated), many have retreated to the warmth and safety of their gaming systems to keep them distracted, and hopefully prevent excessive burden on maternity services up and down the country come November.
  
  And, of course, more gaming means...

  Civilisation VI:- Rise and Fall

  

  
  Civilisation VI
  Rise and Fall.
  

  Accurately reviewing big budget high strategy games is hard.
  Well it’s not digging coal out of the bowels of hell hard, but it certainly ranks up there with flicking yourself off to Holly Willoughby after you have packed the kids off to school.
  These games take a huge amount of investment in time even to scratch the surface, and flaws can go completely unnoticed for weeks until one day you suddenly notice the AI is fucked and...
