Overview
Description

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a laid-back life simulation where you develop a deserted island into a personalized community, crafting, decorating, and interacting with charming animal villagers in real time.

Citadels is a historical action‑strategy game that puts you in charge of building impregnable fortresses, managing resources, and leading troops in massive sieges. Two extensive campaigns let you experience both sides of the conflict, shaping the fate of King Arthur's legacy. Construct ditches, palisades, and production facilities, equip your defenses with units, and crush enemy hordes while balancing extraction and production. Your strategic choices determine whether you restore honor and glory or fall to the enemy.
