Plants vs. Zombies 2: It’s About Time
What do you do as an indie development studio when you have successfully released several little gems into the world that have almost achieved cult status and have a loyal fanbase around them?

Age of Empires IV
Is there a better feeling for a gamer than finishing a game and thinking: “That was good. I have nothing to complain about, a well-rounded experience.” I haven't had that feeling for a long time, at least not in this form. And then also with a relatively new game. Day-one patches and the games-as-a-service mentality have burned my greedy fingers too often for me to buy a title around the time of its actual release. Now this game came out in October, so I can probably forget about the title 'early adopter'. But as I said, for me a purchase three months after release is comparatively early.
