Every February 2020 Video Game - Ranked By Anticipation

10. Bastide

Release Date: Feb 26th

Platforms: PC

It seems like there’s nary a month that goes by without a modern variation on the retro Life-Sim game isn’t released for the PC. There have been some strong contenders over last year, but most quickly came and went.

Set in the 13th century, the gamer is in charge of a gang of peasants attempting to live and survive in the rough wilderness of central Europe. Expect all manner of headaches, like starvation, bandits and vicious wildlife to be the bain of your existence.

Bastide doesn’t make a major case for why each gamer should pay attention to unless you’re a die-hard fan of the genre itself...but is that a bad thing?
