The sudden and unexpected cornucopia of historically themed games continues. www.bluesnews.com/s/271416/be-the-ruler-prologueGraphics are unusual, but otherwise looks interesting. You play Alfred the Great, trying to unite England against the Vikings. |

2025 though? The graphics don't look that complicated; why is this taking another year? I kind of like it. Reminds me of Lords of the Realm II.

As long as it's good, I don't mind.
I am just loving all the historical stuff being worked on all of a sudden, something I've been whining about for years.
Be the ruler
Bellwright
Manor Lords
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Ghost of Tsushima (to PC)
Bannerlord
Age of Empires IV
Pentiment
Crusader Kings 3
A Plague Tale
Red Dead Redemption 2
Assassin's Creed Origins/Odyssey/Valhalla/Mirage
Obviously not all of these will be good, but hell, even if 20-30% manage to be decent, it will be awesome! I feel like historical settings put pressure on developers to do better: if you can't write some half-assed plot about an evil wizard, you might have to create a decent story, and if you are forced to look up actual HEMA combat techniques, your combat won't be rolling around like an idiot.
