Surviving Mars: First Colony Edition
 – 

Well balanced on harder difficulties

It's Mars, it's colonizers, it's catastrophes (at times) ... all it is missing is the DOOM marine! Loads of fun and being a Paradox title it will be well supported for much time to come.

Stellaris: Plantoids Species Pack
 – 

Fun cosmetic DLC

But really not essential to enjoy the game. If you can get it on sale it is fun to play with, but arguably worth the full price.

Ironclads 2: Caroline Islands War 1885
 – 

Engaging

But not overwhelming. Due to the paucity of naval wargames out there this is still worth picking up, if these type of games are in your wheelhouse.

Ironclads 2: Boshin War
 – 

Rarely represented era

That is perhaps a bit staid and wonky at times, but the opportunity to play a naval wargame - with no major bugs or problems - set here is one well worth taking. Recommended if you like these type games/board wargames.

Endless Legend - Shifters
 – 

Adds some depth

Worth picking up if you really enjoy Endless Legend, but not essential to enjoy the game.

Tyranny - Standard Edition
 – 

Best RPG this year

Fantastic game with great depth and reams of dialogue; it feels like an honest choose-your-own adventure game set in a great world and story. Certainly the best RPG I've played this year.

Militia
 – 

Excellent tactics game

For a very simple ruleset and equally simple boards, this game is a delight akin to chess with fewer moves and quicker play. The ladder method of "moving up" rewards each victory as hard-earned and makes losses truly hurt; highly recommended.

Mafia III: Digital Deluxe Edition
 – 

Not really Mafia, but still loads of fun

It doesn't quite hold to the Mafia ideal, but there is no doubt the game is simply fun to play. New Bordeaux is very convincingly detailed (as a native New Orleanian is it jolly good to see how the created setting holds up vs the reality it is based upon) and the story is compelling; it takes some time to finds its groove but once it does it clicks very well. The only real downside is that the quests/activities are a bit repetitive, but the gunplay is snappy and story more than makes up for it.

Endless Space - Emperor Edition
 – 

Fun but tedious

Takes a l-o-n-g time to get into, but once you do it does have a good arc to gameplay.

Bionic Dues
 – 

Unique strategic rogue-lite

More fun than it looks, and far more than the sum of its parts. You can sink more playtime into it than you would think!

Tropico 5 – Complete Collection
 – 

Full set but not really necessary

The DLC is okay, but really doesn't add much to the game that you must play. Still, considering it is often for sale as the same price of just the base game it is worth it for the right price.

Crusader Kings II
 – 

Awesome kingdom-builder

Not simply a great game, one of the most complete and awesome games of all time. Some of the DLC is just alright, but when added all up they bring a wealth of new experiences to the game. This is a great way to start right here, though.

Kerbal Space Program
 – 

Tough but fair

As a physics title it is outstanding. As an engineering title it is outstanding. And as a management sim it is outstanding. But what is most outstanding is how these independent pieces unite to make a truly compelling and human game. Reach for the moon, and you may just discover a lot about yourself.

Endless Legend Classic Pack
 – 

Challenger to Civ

Great game and the expansions really add a lot to it. It is almost as good as the Civilization series!

Stellaris
 – 

Many hours can be wasted

At least that is what my wife complains about when she sees me playing it. One of the best strategic space games. Can't wait to play the expansions!

Victory At Sea
 – 

Naval power!

Fun strategy game that is pretty easy to pick up and learn.

Hearts of Iron IV
 – 

Perfect strategy title

Very dense but clear gameplay, which allows you to play as a major power in a predictable way or as a minor country run amok. Lots of fun and lots of replayability.

Cities: Skylines
 – 

Build it and they will come

Talk about a time sink! You can build anything from fantasy worlds to a recreation of your hometown, and then unleash hell upon it just for giggles. A near-perfect game that you can actively shape in the direction you want to go in.

Tropico 5
 – 

Improvement on Tropico 4

Not revolutionary, but evolutionary and a lot more polished than Tropico 4. But pick up the complete collection as there is a lot of DLC, some of which is quite worth playing.

Airport Madness: World Edition
 – 

Fairly pedestrian sim

There are several games in the series, and this is one of the better ones; playing as a airport traffic controller can be fun and stressful, but is rarely fulfilling.
