My older brother showed me this game when we got our first computer. He got this from a store where you could rent games for a few days. He showed me the game mechanics, it was a great time together. Some day the store closed and sold all their games for a few bucks. I finally got it for 2 Euros then. Finally i could play it so much more, it was so cool.

It is one of those games that sticks with you long after you’ve played it. For me, it was one of the first games I ever got into, and I ended up spending countless hours in its world. I mostly played solo, and even though the game doesn’t have the multiplayer aspect that some others might, it didn’t need it. The whole experience was immersive enough to make me feel like I was a part of the story, running my own criminal empire.

This is one of my favorite strategy games which I keep replaying every couple of years. Unfortunately inner plastic circle of CD has been developing multiple cracks and it may not survive many more installs, so I'm begging: GOG, please save this hidden gem! This game is set in a fictional province during prohibition era, where you run your little crime empire. You can buy property, run illegal businesses such brewery, speakeasy, counterfeit press, etc. You can also hire gangsters from the local newspaper, recruit bodyguards, equip them with Tommy guns and let loose on your rivals, doing drive-by's, seizing territory, robing banks, bribing or kidnapping city officials and so on. While this game lacks strategical depth of it's predecessor (Gangster: Original Crime), it vastly improves combat, introduces lengthy and challenging campaign, nicer visuals with very distinct style, and also has enjoyable sound design, music and CGI clips. Unlike in predecessor there's no weekly planning phase where you give orders for the whole week and then watch events playing out with little input. Instead game plays out in real-time but you can pause at any time, look around the map, assess the situation and give orders to your cronies. It encourages micro management of your gangsters because if they survive during mission, they can level up and improve their skills making them even more effective at shooting, driving, robbing or running businesses. There's also more emphasis on story and every mission has different tasks or multiple win conditions, so missions don't get boring. This is very niche but enjoyable game for those who love books, movies, aesthetic and general vibes of prohibition era. It's very evident that original developers have put a lot of love and care into this game with nice touches such as dynamic newspaper headlines and obituaries based on in-game events, or NPC's traveling around town, which serves little gameplay purpose but immerses you into the game world.

Monark
MonarkMonark, the “new school RPG” from former Megami Tensei and Shin Megami Tensei staff, will launch for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Switch on October 14 in Japan. The story follows the True Student Council, which was established to solve the abnormal situations in the school. The protagonist, who becomes the deputy head of the council, chooses a buddy from four characters to defy the unreasonable. The main story has multiple endings. There are different routes for each of the four buddy characters. To make multiple playthroughs easier, you can also skip shared routes and advance through different buddy routes. Battles are command-based with a free move turn system. Increasing your madness will allow you to use more powerful skills, but if you increase it too much, you will go insane and rampage against targets both friend and foe, making it impossible to fight. There is also an “EGO” system, which represents the player’s desire levels of pride, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth. These change depending on your diagnosis and the choices you make, and also affect the demons you can employ as your “underlings.”
