Game of the Show: Chivalry 2

With all the (high) fantasy games I play it’s hard to remember what mediaeval combat was really like - chaotic, messy, lots of people swinging sharp (or blunt) objects in all directions and the occasional battle horn sounds.

This is exactly what Chivalry 2 tried to replicate - I played the first one quite a lot but the second one takes everything to a new level: The team objective maps are colourful and very well built, great soundtrack (seriously, this is what you hear at the final 2 minutes when a fight is close, it’s so hype) and is accessible both for new and skilful players.

The chaotic nature of Chivalry 2 makes it so even if you are really good mechanically, you will eventually die and if you're bad mechanically (like me) you can play strategically and push the team and a whole for a win.

The team is constantly pushing new updates, one came out last week, so much fun!
