Airport Madness 3D: Volume 2
 – 

Overcomplicated

Much prefer the earlier games. The developers seem to be adding features that are overcomplicating a simple game. Has got very clunky interface wise. An iOS game trying to be a desktop one...

Cities: Skylines - Green Cities
 – 

Useful DLC for once

Very useful DLC and definite buy if you can catch it in a sale. Gives you more to manage, but also adds an extra dimension to city management.

Cities: Skylines - Mass Transit
 – 

Superb DLC

This is a must buy as it gives the player the capability to sort out traffic problems, which by the way, have persisted since the vanilla version.

Train Valley
 – 

Train Track addictiveness

Got this in a Sale, not really something I'd play normally, but once you start, hard to stop. Complete a level, then try to do it better, this is just so addictive. Didn't stop till I completed all the tracks. Great time waster.

Pillars of Eternity Hero Edition
 – 

Great RPG

Very easy to immerse yourself into a great story. Lot's of reading but never boring. Not quite as good as Divinity Original Sin in the combat department but well worth buying if you love RPG's.

Pillars of Eternity: The White March - Part I
 – 

Pillars Marches On

Adds more to the Pillars of Eternity world, more story, more features and if you already own Pillars a must buy.

Minecraft: Story Mode - Adventure Pass (Telltale Key)
 – 

Cheesy

Not really something I'd play, but bought it for my son, in a sale as he kept pestering me for it. He loved it and completed the game over Christmas, so not all bad.

Pillars of Eternity: The White March - Part 2
 – 

More Pillars

My previous review of the White March Part 1 applies here too and tbh if you have the first one, why would you not buy this? No brainer to complete the set of this RPG.

Crusader Kings II: The Reaper's Due Collection
 – 

Grim Reaper

Nice DLC as the idea is to deal with the Black Death and all it's repercussions as it lays waste. Great new game mechanic that makes the player have to cope with problems of your own or can you take advantage of others!

Tropico 5 – Complete Collection
 – 

So Chilled

I liked Tropico 3, but this is better in my opinion. I don't take the Tropico titles too seriously like maybe City Skylines, but they are just so relaxing to play. I see some people are saying that this title is dumbed down compared to versions 3 & 4 because the sliders have been removed, each to their own I suppose...

This is a City Builder that doesn't take itself too seriously and is all about the atmosphere. That for me is what I want from this title. There are other city builders that the min/max brigade can play that will scratch that itch. If I want to chill it's Tropico 5, if I want to design, create and build it's City Skylines...

Cities: Skylines
 – 

Best City Builder

This is such a great game and is the game Sim City by EA should have been.

Pick it up and you will not be disappointed. Very easy to get into and the staged gameplay rewards give newcomers a helping hand as you learn the game. Just buy it!

Cities: Skylines - After Dark
 – 

Polished DLC

Makes a great game even better and really adds to the atmosphere as well as additional gameplay enhancements. If you own the main game, you really need this.

Anomaly Defenders
 – 

Wasn't expecting this

Picked this up in one of the sales and am seriously impressed.

A tower defence title with a really nice tech tree is a real novelty. if you get stuck it"s easy to just redo the tech tree and try to change tactics. This never got boring!

Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Games Series (Telltale Key)
 – 

Entertaining and great value

Bought this for my 9 year old, can highly recommend it, he absolutely loves it. The only problem is it's rather short and therefore overpriced in my opinion. He's now replaying it and making some different decisions which gives the game a bit more longevity. Here's hoping the DLC that will be coming out for it will be a lot cheaper...

QUICK UPDATE, didn't realise this contains the season Pass for all 5 episodes so another star has to be added. Apparently there is a patch you need to download from the Telltale site as the DLC is not showing up properly on the original download.

R.U.S.E.
 – 

RTS lite...

Nice game, I like the way you can use ruses to fool the opponent and the graphics aren't to shabby either. It's a simplified RTS but fun all the same, Definitely worth considering as it's on sale a lot.

Crusader Kings II: Horse Lords Content Pack
 – 

My OCD with DLC kicks in

Bought this because I bought the horse Lords expansion. It's a case of going for the whole set of DLC on this title as It's cheap and I have the other content packs, you can see where I'm going with this...

R.U.S.E.: Pack Of The Rising Sun DLC Pack
 – 

Worth it if you like RUSE

Japanese infantry and armour and quite a lot in total, Makes a nice change to play with, especially in skirmish mode and not expensive, pick it up in a sale, well worth it.

Crusader Kings II: Horse Lords
 – 

DLC addiction

This is a case of buying it because you have all the other expansions. All the expansions in this series add something to either the dates you start your campaign from or encompassing new areas of the world historically, If you are into this game it's a case of getting the full set of DLC as it's not that expensive and who wants a bit that's missing?

Airport Madness 4
 – 

So addictive

Got this game free and thought I'd quickly give it a go. well what can I say?
A flash game with an iOS feel and that one more go feeling, where does the time go?

Endless Legend Emperor Pack
 – 

Interesting...

I really like this game. Interesting take on the 4x strategy game graphics wise and I like the hero system, a la endless space. The thing I really can't understand is why the mac port is still 32 bit and not 64 bit, like the PC version after all this time. Also not sure about the combat system which I think should have been more like Age of Wonders 3 as the fights are really not that in-depth.
