When you think of the Roman Empire, its great triumphs probably spring to mind first. Its grand conquest and expansion, its political systems, and its deep-rooted influence on everything from language and art to religion and architecture. New survival game Lost Legions bears a love for the period, yet it focuses on one of the more dramatic defeats borne by the Romans - the Battle of Teutoburg Forest, where an alliance of Germanic tribes ambushed three Roman legions, leaving them scattered, and marking an abrupt end to Emperor Augustus's plans to expand into the region. I took a look at Gamescom 2024, and I'm already a big fan of the setup.
