As Prigozhin seems to have cancelled his insurrection, I think I can drag myself away from Twitter and the TV for long enough to type a few lines on Nuclear Option, a ‘coming soon’ combat flight sim with some seriously…
SCS Software have been making truck sims for so long and so dominate the sector, it’s easy to forget they didn’t invent the genre. That claim to fame, I’d argue, belongs to Siberian studio SoftLab-Nsk – more specifically a chap…
I’d argue the natural skull slot for ‘Combat Pilot excitement’ is one adjacent to ‘Task Force Admiral excitement’. Whereas Drydock Dreams are intent on creating the most realistic/ravishing WW2 Pacific carrier ops wargame ever made, Entropy.Aero, a subsidiary of Barbedwire…
