Reparlons brièvement de Turmoil, petit jeu sur le thème original des barons du pétrole pour mentionner la sortie il y a plusieurs semaines déjà d’une première extension offrant une nouvelle campagne et surtout des mécanismes supplémentaires pour forer encore plus, afin de pouvoir par exemple mieux exploiter le gaz naturel, mais aussi aller jusqu’à trouver et utiliser du magma. Oui, de la lave en fusion dont l’intérêt conjugué au gaz et au pétrole est une des surprises de ce DLC, qui semble-t-il globalement offrira surtout un défi un peu plus chaud à gérer.
