Luckily for me, the strategy involved with Anomaly isn’t the high-level positioning of hordes of troops, battalions of armor, or squadrons of aircraft that you find in many strategy games. It’s not the “action” part that I struggle with I just don’t have the time or attention span to dig into the intricacies of anything more strategically complex than Battleship. Steam describes it as an Action/Strategy game which is nearly always the kiss of death for me. it turns out to be worth the effort, and that was the case with Anomaly: Warzone Earth from 11 bit studios. So, you will find it unsurprising that I never hold out much hope that a $10 game will be worth more than a quick glance and a muttered profanity.

Pessimism is like a stereotype: sure, they’re unfair generalizations, but they come from somewhere. I own my pessimism, and often wear it as a badge of experience. You would not be the first, and given that it’s completely true, you sure won’t be the last.
