As I’m sure you can tell, Armello impressed me a great deal. I’ve seen some shambolic games try to replicate this concept; the typical issue is that the games would just be better with a bunch of mates around a table. Armello dodges that bullet with a computer-reliant game that feels perfectly suited to solo play. Of course, that doesn’t mean you should avoid the multiplayer offerings, as despite the game still going through beta testing there’s plenty of opportunity to test your ability against real people.
