### 3/5 — Artillerist

*2024-08-26, version 1.3.6*

It’s not a bad little game. It is as it says,a battleships redevelopment. Not mind blowing but not taxing on the mind either.

Why three stars.

Well, the first time we come across a female character as a war correspondent which is great, I thought it was rather lame they had her wearing an open top jacket gesturing being endowed all the while referencing if she looks okay with her hair  as it is in a war zone.

It’s degrading to women and lowers the standard of the campaign story feel.
