Welcome to the first week of November and a week that has a fair few strategy/management types of games. We kick off with a Swedish franchise that paradoxically has you invade your neighbours, because you can. This is followed by you being in charge of an RPG tavern, you managing a team of sports people, you being a really fast hedgehog, you driving an RV really really far and finally we end the week with your dog trying to find you, or something along those lines.

Europa Universalis V / This week's major release / Tuesday 4 November
Almost five hundred years of history unfold before you in Europa Universalis V, the latest version of one of the greatest strategy games of all time. Guide the destiny of any of hundreds of nations and societies in a simulated living world of unparalleled depth and complexity. Steam link
