Per Aspera reaches for lofty heights, but I could never shake the impression that the difficulties I encountered were more because of the game breaking down rather than Mars being a hostile place. But who knows, patches do wonders these days.
Project Wingman will fulfill your fighter jockey power fantasies as long as you can ignore the dearth of plane choices - or the absolutely awful end to the story campaign.
Partisans 1941 provides a fun way to stab Nazis even if the depiction of guerilla warfare on the Eastern Front is kinda sus.
This adaptation of the iconic tabletop game blazes its own path, but could have done with a bit more care and attention to make it truly great.
Iron Harvest captures most of the charm of Scythe and Company of Heroes while lacking some of the stuff that matter the latter so much fun.
Imperiums: Greek Wars offers a few twists on the usual 4X genre - like being more historical than Civilization's History-of-Mankind Thunderdome - but the execution isn't really there to make it worthwhile.
Deck of Ashes lets down its art with grinding gameplay balance and terrible font choices.
Monster Train is a very unique take on the Slay the Spire formula, with great writing and art direction and gameplay that invites you back for many more rides.
Hunt down Huntdown as fast as you can, because this game is just concentrated action movie goodness delivered straight into your veins.
Alder's Blood is a functional game, beautiful, but not exceptionally exciting. On one hand, the game looks great and the writing, while clunky, can inspire a bit of wonder. The gameplay is, however, lacking, as you don't get too attached to your Hunters, and you don't do much hunting.
