Don't be fooled by the adorable woodland creatures on its cover--Root is an asymmetrical war game that's fairly complex, and you'll probably need to play multiple times to fully get the hang of it. In Root, multiple factions are fighting for control of a forest kingdom: Marquise de Cat, who wants to harvest the woodland's resources; the Eyrie Dynasty, birds who aim to build roosts throughout the forest as quickly as possible; the Woodland Alliance, forest creatures who build hideouts and spread sympathy for their cause; and the solo Vagabond, a warrior who moves through the woodland alone, forming alliances where it suits his own needs. Because each faction has completely different rules and goals, you'll want to play as each group at least once. But while it takes some time to master, Root is an absolute blast to play as you experiment with different strategies and slowly learn how to play each faction well. With its charming art design and excellent replayability, Root is a fantastic … [Read more...] about The Best Board Games To Play In 2021: Board Games For Adults, Families, And 2 Players

Pluto TV has the notable distinction of being a video streaming service that has both live TV and on-demand TV series and movies.

In terms of on-demand content, Pluto has a fairly large selection (including documentaries), though it's a mixed bag.

A plane ticket to Rome places this game in 1937, which means it falls between the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The official announcement on StarWars.com states "the game will tell a wholly original, standalone tale set at the height of the career of the famed adventurer." The announcement also points out that the cryptic teaser "may hold some clues", so naturally, myself and GamesRadar's very own Leon Hurley have been poring over it for hours. … [Read more...] about Decoding the clues in that surprise Bethesda Indiana Jones game teaser

This time, it's a beggar. Robin intercepts him, figuring that his rags will make for the perfect disguise to slip into town unnoticed. Again, he's got a couple of options. For starters, there's his bow. Drawing an arrow, he can order the wretch to strip to his undershirt and hand over his rags, before calling his men to escort him in the other direction. Alternatively, since that's not exactly heroic, he can buy them off him... for a quarter of a single coin... before summoning the Merry Men to take him for dinner at their camp, give him an extra purse of money to compensate for cheapskate players, and kit him out with a new outlaw outfit that definitely won't get him murdered by any guards who happen to see him. … [Read more...] about Crapshoot: Conquests of the Longbow, the Robin Hood game that didn’t suck

What it is is Enderal: The Shards of Order - a game-sized total conversion mod for Bethesda's fifth Elder Scrolls main series instalment, and the work of German hobbyist modders SureAI, the same team who crafted 2010's impressive Oblivion overhaul Nehrim: At Fate's Edge.
