Take-Two CEO Knows They “Got It Wrong” With The Ages System
It’s no novelty that Civilization VII is the worst of all Civilization titles, having reworked familiar systems that didn’t need to be reworked, only built upon, as expertly showcased by Civilization V and Civ VI before it. In a recent interview, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick recognized that the new Ages System didn’t connect with players, but despite that, Civilization VII has been a profitable addition to Take-Two’s repertoire of titles. Hopefully, that means Civ VII will be continually worked on until it reaches an acceptable state, and players seem excited for the soon-to-be-out-the-door “Test of Time” update.
War Room: Tactical Sandbox Looks Crazy
I don’t know what to make of War Room: Tactical Sandbox. It’s the kind of game that sounds like it’s too good to be true. Being developed by the popular Brazilian YouTube channel Lado B Da História, it aims to be a complete simulation that will allow tacticians and content creators the freedom to recreate any conflict, at any scale they want. I’m curious to see how this one pans out.

Task Force Admiral New Scenario And Crew
Look at it! Task Force Admiral (one of the best wargames of 2026) now has a few crews (one of the game’s Kickstarter goals) manning their posts! How cute! Recently, a new scenario called “Wake-up call at Tulagi” was made available. A reimagined scuffle that will put you straight into action, understrenght, and without any strike force at your disposal.
