Here’s a look at all the brand-new RPGs and turn-based strategy games that have launched over the past few days on PC and console. This is the final recap of the month before we head into February, which I’ll say right now could end up being one of the strongest months of the year in terms of major releases. In any case, you’ll only have to wait until Monday, as I already have a dedicated article scheduled.

As Iran confronts the aftermath of mass state violence and braces for the possibility of U.S. strikes, debate over the country’s future has intensified. What distinguishes this moment is not simply the scale of repression, but the convergence of internal exhaustion and external pressure that has narrowed the regime’s margin for political error. It has accelerated a question that could once be deferred: how political authority will be reorganized after the supreme leader, and through what means. That question has now been raised explicitly by President Donald Trump. The answer will shape not only Iran’s internal trajectory, but the stability…

BERLIN — When the Trump administration lifted sanctions on Bosnian Serb separatist leader Milorad Dodik in late October, it marked a dramatic realignment in the Western Balkans that has sparked concerns in Europe that the fragile post-war order in Bosnia and Herzegovina may become shaky.In the Western Balkan country of three million, where the fateful shots that caused World War I once rang out, there has been a tense stalemate ever since the genocidal fighting of the 90s stopped. A complex framework including 15 parliaments, three simultaneous presidents, and a European peacekeeping force, all imposed by the international community, has…

A new report from a nonpartisan good-government organization warned that the adoption of a plan to strip federal workers in policy-related positions of their civil service protections would not fulfill the Trump administration’s stated ambitions of making agencies more effective and responsive, and could instead cost hundreds of millions of dollars in increased recruitment and training spending.The Partnership for Public Service this week released a report examining at-will employment in state governments, in light of the impending revival of Schedule F—since renamed Schedule Policy/Career—which would forcibly convert tens of thousands of federal workers in “policy-related” jobs out of the competitive…
