  • The Lamplighter League reviewed by Jon Bolding on PC. Also available on Xbox.
    The Lamplighters League takes proven concepts from other tactics games and puts them together into a novel blend. It takes an unfortunate amount of time to get going, but once it does the tight, meaningful strategic layer ensures that every mission, no matter how banal, matters to your overall campaign. The superb enemy and hero design gives you great stuff to work with as you use real-time stealth takedowns to prepare for tactical fights. Sure, sometimes the partially procedurally generated maps throw up a frustrating scenario, or an ability works a bit weird, but I was more than happy to take those in stride in order to undertake a globetrotting pulp adventure in such an interesting and engaging world.

    Just played and finished this, and it’s the most fun I’ve had in a turn-based game since XCOM 2. I don’t understand why it’s not getting as much praise - like the reviewer says, it’s hot it’s flaws, but it’s overall a lot of fun and it’s made with love.

      What do you need to look at a review for if you can't tell by the gameplay if you will like it then that's wild as well as you should know kind of games you like if you like turn base games then you should play it. Mutant Year Zero, Miasma Chronicles, Wasteland, Xcom, Shadow run, If you like any of those then you should play this as it's similar to those, If you haven't played any of these then clearly you're not into these type of games, Just get game pass & you can just play the game & see if you like it sometimes reviews don't do games justice especially when you're in new to a genre
