Aeon’s End
If you want to try out Aeons End, or really prefer to play games digitally, it’s pretty good but brief. If you have all the physical base sets, expansions, and so forth, I don’t think you’ll be getting rid of them anytime soon for this (unlike, say, how Sentinels of the Multiverse is so good on digital that I’ll never play the physical edition again).
I won’t comment on game play and such, but there’s a decent tutorial that goes over most concepts (while letting players discover the synergies of the game themselves). There’s also currently no multiplayer for those who demand it (I suspect it’s in the works though), nor AI players either; one player controls all the mages' actions (although you could potentially do “pass and play” gaming). It’s a non-issue to me, but a determining factor for others.

My Biases: I backed this on kickstarter not because I have played the physical game but because I really like the developer and the game seemed to be very fun if their streams were any indication. I really enjoy the game from what I have done so far.
Aeon’s end is a cooperative deck builder game where up to 4 mages try to beat back monsters that seek to destroy humanity. The game is an uphill battle but certainly winnable. There are many ways to approach the battles and lots of variability depending on the mages and supply cards you use.

XANDO: Xtreme & Over the Top
tic tac toe but with abilities! wow
so i’m already actually a fairly big fan of ultimate tic-tac-toe - i find it pretty fun and much less solvable than normal. additionally, i’m a huge sucker for people slamming mechanics onto simple games. so this is pretty much my jam! it’s fun and neat and cool and $2

Rise of Humanity
Super fun game for X Com and Deck Building fans. Seems difficult at first, till you learn the amazing combo’s you can make (just make sure you don’t damage your team mates … too much !)
It’s still early access so there’s only 6 story missions yet, but there are side missions up for grabs!
Daily challenges are also a hoot, Hoping to see some real battles for the top of the leader board!

An interesting twist on XCOM2…
XCOM2 but with cards, is how this game can best be described. Now, this game doesn’t have the budget behind it that XCOM2 had, which almost automatically means that it’s going into a gun-fight with XCOM2 but this game is armed with a pistol and XCOM2 has a hellfire missile launcher… not very fair, but that’s the fight that the devs have chosen to engage in, and good luck to them… they’re gonna need it.
Pros: #1. Very good graphics (I’d say it’s almost as good as XCOM2)

Cartridge Defense
I’ve played a lot of tower defense games and this one is really compelling. There are difficulty spikes that had me ragequitting, but here’s some advice - don’t be afraid to spread your towers out, and sponsorship mode is endgame.
I love and I hate this game. The number of stages that you spend 30 minutes in, doing really well, and then the boss monster comes out and FUCKING STEAMROLLS YOU is waaaaaay too high. Also there are only a handful of “winning” round 1 plays, I am restarting a lot and I wish there was a better system in place to make sure you have an actual play round 1.

This game right here is a gem. I have played hundreds of tower defense games, this ones special. Starts simple, and keeps adding layers with tower cards as you progress/farm. the effects on cards add so many ways to play. What a delight to not have a games in game purchase cost money!! it costs regents from playing lvl/farming to purchase packs for more cards, which packs seem to get better as you progress? easy to get to! It still has some bugs i have come into. but for me. nothing game breaking. Just notice it at keep playing/grinding. I am the type of person that likes to jump around from mmo to shooter, to thinker games. like tower defense or whatever. I like to have a game of each type to play at will. and this one has filled a void missing for tower defense for a minute. im a deep fan of such games likes orcs must die 2. where u can really set stuff up. and yes i gave up trying to type proper…can you tell? :)

Review by Gaming Masterpieces - The greatest games of all time on Steam.
|
Is this game a masterpiece? No. You have to enjoy challenging turn-based battles and the unique Asian steampunk scenario to like this game. You also have to overlook a few… or better quite a few, annoyances in the game design.
The gameplay consists of different battle scenarios. You are presented with a diorama where you can take a look at everything - buildings and characters (your own, civilians and enemies). So the first thing after learning how to move the camera (the dioramas can be watched from all sides, you can move the camera up and down, zoom in and out) should be to carefully study those scenarios and come up with a plan to achieve your mission goals. You do not command large armies, just a few men, including your heroes. There is no fog of war, so you can see the enemy - and his movements - right from the start. The whole game plays a bit like a board game.

RE:Solver
Step into the role as an investigator under the RE:Solver Agency, a new investigation unit designed to take a fresh look at complicated cases. With your skills and newly granted overreaching privileges, you can access numerous confidential records on essentially anyone. Browse medical records, phone logs, browser histories, and social media to learn everything there is to learn about your suspects.
Background
The game takes place within a fictitious world, quite similar to ours, but with a few key differences. As crime rates are on the rise, a private agency called RE:Solver has sprung up, giving new power in the field of digital forensics. They aid law enforcement around the world by diving in and dissecting the case inch by inch, bringing a fresh set of eyes and vital information to the people in the field.
Nothing will stop a member of RE:Solver to get to the truth. Not rules, not privacy concerns, not ethics.
Gameplay
Use the tools given and dig into every corner of the lives of the suspect. Collect phone records, credit card transcripts, daily habits, and more through the Emerald Network. Browse the game-internal internet for missing people, public records, social media, and more.
Once you have a strong case, you may file them and hope you put the right person behind bars.
Production
This game is based on a series of investigation tabletop roleplaying one-shots written and conducted by Nils Munch during the Covid-19 lockdown. A great thank you to all the players and playtesters taking place in building and polishing up this game.
Creative liberty
While the world seems much like ours, all suspects and the criminal cases you are solving are a complete work of fiction, and any resemblance to any real individuals, living or dead, are purely coincidental. All characters portrayed are generated electronically, and no real people are displayed inside the game.

Space Grid Tournament is the new generation of RTS games, where careful and fast team management leads the way to victory. No resource farming, no boring base building – it’s just you and your robotic players. In this brutal sport discipline, every unit and every order may make the difference between defeating the opponent and being wiped out from the field.
