I'm a sucker for a good tactics game – which is why Star Wars Zero Company already has me buzzing. It's a genre where almost any game could announce a tactics spinoff and I'd be down. Persona 5 Tactica? Sure, why not? Rayman Raving Rabbids and Super Mario forming a strategic alliance? Hell yeah. The power of a good tactics RPG even works when I'm not into the series itself; I'm not huge into Final Fantasy, but damn if Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles isn't an all-timer. And my Marvel fatigue was swiftly cured with a helping of Marvel's Midnight Suns.
And then there's Star Wars. I'll be frank, The Rise of Skywalker stank so much that any love and interest I had in Star Wars left me. I haven't watched any of its many TV series, I never played Star Wars Jedi: Survivor – despite loving Fallen Order – and I haven't had any desire to go back and watch the older films I actually do like… but the series' upcoming strategic foray has me looking from across the room like your da staring longingly at that photo of him holding a big fish.
