Into the Breach

The more I play this, the more I love it. An elegant little game with exactly the right scope for a tactics game to make it near endlessly enjoyable. It has become my go-to game when I've got a few minutes (see: what I do during every Webex meeting I have to sit through in a work day).
Would call this a perfect game except there is something about the randomness of the first turn that drives me a little crazy. Just for instance: playing the train maps, especially on the later islands, feels almost like a crap shoot as to whether I will have any chance of saving the train. Four or five enemies and they all either target the train or post up in its path on the first turn? Oh well! This doesn't happen in the majority of instances, but it's really frustrating when it does.

ANLP puts you in the position of someone who just discovered a missing phone as they snoop through this stranger's entire life. It weaves together a really fascinating narrative full of interesting characters that you never meet. Excellently uses the game's mechanics to direct the narrative as you continue to learn more and more about sam.
