Their refusal to synch local saves to the cloud was another turn-off, and a backhanded form of always-online DRM.

The other night, for a retro kick, I played a couple of hours of multiplayer on the 2008 remake of Sid Meier’s Colonisation, with smooth simultaneous turns and solid gameplay. Is the genre just a casualty of low attention spans? Total War aside, it could really use some love.
