When I spoke to Fable creator and 22cans founder Peter Molyneux about Masters of Albion earlier this year, he told me that he simply wanted it to bring “joy.” It’s a word that resonated throughout our discussion: one that Molyneux is clearly passionate about. It’s been a rocky road for him, after all: post-Lionhead, things haven’t been easy. Unfortunately renowned for his tendency to “overpromise” and underdeliver – something he’s since apologized for profusely – there’s a lot riding on Masters of Albion. Reputationally, it could be the salve that Molyneux needs, but it could also mark the triumphant return of the god game – a genre that hasn’t really been well-served since the Black and White days. It’s a title that I’ve been excited about since its reveal – I’m a longtime Fable fan, and spent my youth tinkering with Black and White. My hopes, then, were high.

 Masters of Albion is Fable creator Peter Molyneux’s last game, and while it’s launching in Steam early access, it’s got serious sparkle.  PCGamesN
