The Last Spell is a tight and precise turn-based game with atmospheric pixel graphics that relies on a slow but steady system of progressing your defences until you are able to win the day.

Stellaris offers a wide and complex galaxy conflict strategy mixed with a great selection of different ways to play. We recommend playing on ensign difficulty at first and watching some tutorials.

Noita uses a revolutionary GPU driven falling sand simulation to create gameplay that rapidly evolves through a burning, smoking, freezing or collapsing process. We recommend playing cautiously.

HighFleet is an unusual mix of arcade-style 2D flying combat and a deep strategy layer that comes together in a horrifying post-apocalypse world with a rich unique backstory and culture.

Mount & Blade Bannerlord improve graphically on the previous games whilst adding a range of improvements to the core gameplay. We recommend lowering recruitment difficulty to start off.

Warhammer II introduces a more varied world with some more unusual win conditions. We recommend playing the main campaign before mortal empires mode as it slows the game down considerably.

Oxygen Not Included puts you in a world of chemistry and physics that come together to create an unusually complex simulation. We recommend disabling stress reactions for your first playthrough.

FTL is a game that helped popularise the roguelike genre. A hard and punishing experience sometimes but it becomes a power trip when things line up. We recommend checking out the Multiverse mod.

Rimworld, inspired by Dwarf Fortress, has over its long development and many DLCs grown to become the most beloved story-generating village simulator on Steam. We recommend you play vanilla first.

It improves on the previous game by providing a system for directing the movement of your armies. We recommend playing with the "Road to 56" mod, playing as Germany and playing on recruit at first.
