Looking back at the course of human history, it’s remarkable how much progress we’ve made. Sure, there have been some stumbles along the way, but to go from hunter-gatherers to having an international space station in about 10,000 years, is quite impressive. Reus, by debuting Abbey Games, puts the player in charge of supervising this development, from tiny hamlets to large cities, navigating the thin line between stagnation and chaos, poverty and greed. In Reus, the player literally assumes the role of a planet, and has to maintain a balance in the ecosystem of the planet. It could have been an interesting exploration of the evolution of civilization, but like Spore before it, it’s not distinctly bad, but just doesn’t hit the mark.

But what are the bargains we'll see delivered our way via the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 22nd-28th January 2019? How do this lovely lot sound to you?"
Today is the fifth anniversary of 2D god game, Reus from indie developers Abbey Games.
James writes "This week’s Xbox Live Deals With Gold sale was always going to come up short in terms of the amount of deals on offer, you know, after the massive Spring Sale. But fear not, because we’re sure you’ll find something in the usual Deals With Gold discounts for Xbox One and Xbox 360 if you look hard enough."
Obviously we were going to see less deals than last week, but that ain't a bad list. Was previously tempted by Adams Venture but thought the price was too high,... 50% off though? Think I'll take that
