Exogate Initiative is two good ideas (Stargate and Evil Genius) that combine in a neutral medium and congeal into an unpalatable result: like mixing ketchup and soy sauce in a glass of tap water.

If you're a fan of cooperative survival games like Don't Starve, this game is fantastic. The game is fairly intuitive and is definitely early access, but is easily worth $20 if you have a few friends.

MORDHAU is a perfectly adequate swords and shields Medieval combat game. So why should you not buy MORDHAU? Chivalry II is better, and the devs don't bow to racist snowflakes.
