Great game about rockets and space exploration! It can teach you a bit about orbital mechanics, and it's fun to experiment new rocket designs and manage your resources. There's no Steam achievements, if you care about them.
This is a major expansion for Stellaris; it adds new mechanics, not just cosmetics. The main feature are the Megastructures, some other features are part of the base game now. These Megastructures allow for some new options for your empire, improving the gameplay experience. It feels a bit overpriced for what it offers, since some of these features should arguably be part of the base game since the start.
Challenging tycoon game, with lots of mechanics to explore. There is a sequel now, so this game can feel a bit outdated, but I think it's worth it. The game has been patched now, including a final patch before the sequel was released. There's lots of transport options, but I think managing the train network is the most fun you can have. Check the sequel (Transport Fever 2) before buying, you may like it more.
Grand strategy in the roman era, falls short on expectations
First of all, the deluxe edition does not include any major DLC, be aware. It includes a flavor pack, and some items outside the game (wallpapers, forum avatar, etc).
This game was released to mixed reviews. It gets ideas and mechanics from several Paradox games, but in the end it failed to deliver a product as solid as other titles from the company. There were multiple major patches to improve on the mechanics, but some design decisions are hard to change now. It's still a grand strategy game, if you like the genre and the roman era, it can provide many hours of fun. Make friends, bring war to your enemies, expand your empire.
Isometric 3D turn based strategy, in the Cold War era
This game is good, but it could have been great. The turn-based strategy is similar to the X-COM games, but there is a big focus on stealth gameplay. If you break stealth, you can be attacked by endless waves of enemies. This design decision can turn off some people away from the game, it feels a bit constraining. In some missions there are also time limits, which some players don't like.
Outside the combat, managing your team and resources is fun. You have to collect hints and make connections between the story elements, to advance in the campaign. There is lots of freedom in the way you approach the missions or develop your characters. If you like X-COM, you will probably like this, but be aware that it plays a bit differently, you may be disappointed.
The concept and gameplay are simple. It's fun to manage the police squad, and discover new events, but it fails to grab my attention for longer periods of time. It gets repetitive fast.
This game is a fun time waster, but it can get a bit repetitive. In each turn, you don't always have time to explore everything, you're always under pressure to complete the objectives. The games doesn't take itself very seriously, and it has some fun elements in the story, but in the end it failed to grab my attention for long. Maybe you'll like it better.
I bought this game at sale without really knowing about the story or it's mechanics. It feels like a Far Cry game, meaning you should expect an open world with lots of quests and lots to do. The survival mode adds more environment and immersion but also repetitive tasks, you need to hunt to survive. Hunting feels good specially if you use the spear. Only wish it had multiplayer options...
If you found this game it's because you are looking for dungeon crawlers. This game is a bit hard to get into, only recommended for guys with patience. Also, be aware the game crashes on Windows 10 system.
