  Some strategy gamers will find this kind of forced immersion awful, others will lap it up. Fans of the original will already be familiar with it. They'll discover a smoother interface and a new setting in a new culture. Forgoing the traditional control and power fantasies of strategic empire-building is a hard habit to give up. But for those that can make the sacrifice, Six Ages holds a wealth of wonders few other games can match.

  The Orlanthi stories contradict the legends of the horse clans. Sure, everyone reveres Uryarda the Goat Mother, but the storm tribes view your gods as the aggressors. The horse people never forgave the Orlanthi for crimes that may have been committed before man ever walked the Earth. By committing to the wonderful setting, Six Ages has more to say than a dozen fantasy RPGs.

  This charming sequel doesn't need flashy new innovations to craft an engrossing adventure.

  If you’re not a fan of reading or absolutely hate having wrenches randomly thrown at your head while you’re trying to play chess, the narrative side may irritate you. But if you want to get lost in a world full of meticulous details and gameplay that isn’t quite like anything else, you’ll want to hop on to Six Ages as soon as possible.

  Six Ages offers up some incredibly rich fiction in a genre that usually depends solely on layers of systems to create fun. There's plenty of that here too, but it feels much more magical due to this game's tendencies to keep decisions and mechanics mysterious and ambiguous. This may be cause for frustration for some players, but for those that are willing and able to take a deep dive into a world full of unforeseen consequences in an unfamiliar world, Six Ages is well worth your time.
