It's the symmetry and the fastidious detail that makes 4X games like Stellaris and Civilization 6 leap off the screen. But after so many hours of poring over tiny little units and vast expanses of either grassland or space, you might find your eyes wanting for something a little more colorful. Songs of Silence could be the most visually vibrant strategy game of the last decade. With a sharp focus on battles and warfare, it combines deck building and RTS mechanics with a fantasy aesthetic that wouldn't look out of place in the worlds of Diablo and Skyrim. A cult hit on Steam during early access, the Songs of Silence 1.0 launch is finally here, and developer Chimera Entertainment is breaking all the rules by dropping the game's price - permanently.
