A masterpiece that stands to this day as one of the best games in its genre and against which other tactical combat games are still compared.

Difficult, but one of the best 10-minutes-session-dungeon/puzzle game out there.

With its interesting scenarios and fantastic AI, you really can't go wrong with Unity of Command if you have any interest at all in wargames.

A ludicrous masterpiece, made of bird-dating and terrible puns. In the end, it's not just a novelty, but a fun world to spend time in.

Enemy Unknown carves its own niche into the series as a unique game in its own right. Worth playing for any fans of squad-based tactic combat.

Takes everything that was loveable about Civ2, everything that worked from Civ 3, and turns it into the best Civ game to date. (StealthDonut)

The minimalistic aesthetics combine with an interesting dystopian flavor and an extraordinary puzzle mechanism to make you crave for more.

If you have the patience to deal with its quirks, it's very rewarding, thanks to splendid writing and satisfying exploration.

If you like the tense, chaotic yet tactical feeling of a team fight in DOTA 2, yet wish it had cowboys and Indians, give Secret Ponchos a try.

Barely interactive but the long, interesting and original story, coupled with a high production value, makes it a great place to start with the genre.
