Casina: A Visual Novel set in Ancient Greece

Ubisoft may be revisiting Assassin's Creed's glory days with Black Flag Resynced, but it's Netflix's Ancient Rome-set Assassin's Creed series that's the more interesting proposition. I just wish it was a video game instead of a TV show.

Theos: Cities of Myth is a charming indie city builder that had me laying out roads, providing housing, taking advantage of godly boons, and managing resources as concrete as food and as abstract as philosophy. I wasn't able to build a polis to rival the height of Athens just yet due to demo restrictions and some odd pathing bugs, however.

We played Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve and found it to be visually stunning with appreciated gameplay improvements and a deep story we couldn't get enough of in our limited hands-on time so far.
