The Plucky Squire is an innovative Action-Adventure game developed by All Possible Futures. Released on September 17, 2024, this charming title takes players on a linear, puzzle-filled adventure that draws clear inspiration from classic Zelda titles, especially Link’s Awakening. It blends various gameplay elements from different genres and offers a mix of 2D and 3D segments, all within an imaginative and colorful storybook world.

As a big fan of the Civilization series, attending Gamescom 2024 and getting an early look at Civilization VII was a dream come true. The opportunity to meet with 2K Games and the development team at Firaxis and experience the game firsthand was truly unforgettable.
From the moment I sat down to play, I was immediately impressed by the level of detail and depth on offer. The historical accuracy was astounding, with every aspect of the game world feeling authentic and immersive. The new Legacy system added a layer of strategic depth and customization that I hadn’t seen in previous Civilization games.

The ability to negotiate trade deals, form alliances, and manage relationships with other civilizations added a whole new dimension to the gameplay. The combat system has also been refined, with the introduction of Commanders who can lead multiple units, making battles more dynamic and engaging.
While I only had a limited time to explore the game, I came away incredibly excited about what Civilization VII has to offer. The developers have clearly put a lot of thought and effort into creating a truly exceptional experience, and I can’t wait to see how it evolves as we get closer to its release.
