Every level of Into the Breach is like one of those ball bearing mazes that come in Christmas crackers. They're a puzzle in miniature that, with enough patience and planning, can be solved in a single faultless run. Success in both comes paired with a sense of relief, as each move towards the end carries the risk of losing all the progress made so far. This comparison falls apart, however, in that I tend to snap the toy in two before Boxing Day, yet after months with Into the Breach I'm still in love with its challenge.

If you enjoy turn-based strategy games and roguelikes, and you haven't played Into the Breach yet, I implore you to put down every other game you're playing (yes, even Balatro) and do so. Built by Subset Games, the masterminds behind the also-excellent FTL: Faster Than Light, Into the Breach is a truly masterful piece of design: part puzzle, part tactics, part mechs, and 100% pure satisfaction, it ranks among greats like Slay the Spire, Dead Cells, and Hades as one of the best in the business. Boasting a 94% Steam rating, and at a huge discount right now thanks to a Steam sale, don't just take

Combine the turn-based mech battles of Into The Breach with the rule-changing puzzling of Baba Is You and you have Mobile Suit Baba, whose launch I entirely missed right before Christmas. Pick a squad of mechs to field in different scenarios where you must push, pull, and slam your way to victory. All of which will be so much easier if you rewrite the rules by shunting around syntax blocks. And yes, Baba is piloting a giant Baba-shaped mech. Read more

When we scored Into the Breach 93% in our review , we said it was "the most consistently rewarding tactics game we’ve played in many years." Later that year it won our 2018 Game of the Year award, where we anointed it "a perfect modern form of strategy game." Where does a game go from that zenith?.. Read more.
