I’ve always had an aversion to the fantasy genre, and because of that, I’ve never dipped my toes into Age of Wonders despite loving the 4X genre. With the announcement that the newest game, Planetfall, was going to be painted over with a science-fiction gloss, I was excited to finally dive into the series.
I feel like I’ve done myself a disservice as a 4X fan by waiting this long. Age of Wonders: Planetfall addresses all but a few of my issues with the genre while weaving a story for those who need a little extra motivation.
