Infinity war
Dreadful… i accidently purchased it and It was a big mistake!! No map editor, the servers don’t always work, no one plays it, you get just one stupid map and that’s it.
the original Perfect General was more perfect than this

Augmented Future
The concept was intriguing, but I didn’t like the pseudo real-time combat. The timers are way too fast: there’s almost no time to click (much less think).
The interface is clunky: lots of waiting for text or buttons to load, for instance. I did play around with the settings and improved the speed as best I could, but waiting for components to load in such a minimalistic interface just feels bad.
There were also some basic bugs, like superimposed buttons.
Bottom line for me: if I’m going to play a game that ditches graphics for the sake of gameplay, I want the interface to be very good, and not something I feel like I’m fighting.

ConflictCraft
ConflictCraft is a casual strategy game fought with the mouse.
The objective is simple: destroy all the enemies. This battle is fought with bases generating units. Half of the battle is figuring out what strategic bases you need to focus on straight away. If you take too long on the start, the AI will take too many bases, creating an impossible situation to win, so it’s likely that you are starting out a level to figure it out first and then restarting to apply the most optimal strategy. The other half of the battle is lots of mouse clicking to drag and drop units between the bases you want to reinforce or attack. Unlike other similar games where you can choose between sending all or half the units, in this game you can only send half of the units.

Very fun, simple, straight-forward strategy game! Little bit on the liniear side, but that is okay, keep it simple!
Now 2020, so 4 years old, but I finally played it and I must say: I kept playing untill I done all the maps! If a game can do that to you, then it’s definately worth trying!
It plays like RISK, in a war setting: tanks, attack helicopters and raid helicopters. Take over control points to gain strength from within the numbers and abilities. And the goal is simple: Eradicate the enemy, simply put: Take over everything untill the enemy has nothing to retalliate with.

TerraMartis4x
Background story
A short but fragile period of peace followed the cold war. Humanity is divided into two factions. The western part under the leadership of the USA and the eastern part under the leadership of Russia.
That peace ended shortly after the beginning of space colonization. Under the continued pressure of the hegemonial western faction on Earth, large parts of the eastern factions left Earth completely and moved to Mars and are now known as Martian.
Gameplay summary
In TerraMartis4x you take the role as leader of one of the factions, either Terra or Mars. Both factions are at war over the uncolonized space. Your goal is to lead the faction of your choice to victory.
TerraMartis4x is divided into two layers. On the galaxy map you make strategic turned based decisions about which planets to colonize, which fleets to build, where to attack, what to defend and which planet to conquer. When two fleets meet you can dive into the battlefield the second part of the game where you make tactical decisions for each unit in your fleet in real time.
Beside the two larger factions Terran and Martian there are also some minor factions in TerraMartis4x mostly from the outer asteroid belts and not recognized as a united faction by the former two.
Total War: WARHAMMER III
**Pre-purchase to get an additional free Race Pack for Total War: WARHAMMER III.
More details coming soon.**
Far beyond the world and its petty wars there exists a dimension of pure, malevolent magic: The Realm of Chaos. It is a terrible place, incomprehensible to the mortal mind. It whispers promises of power, but to behold it is to be seduced by it. To relinquish your soul to it. To become it.
The four Ruinous Powers rule over this place, ever seeking to slip their bonds and engulf the world in a tide of daemonic corruption. Nurgle, the plague god; Slaanesh, the lord of excess; Tzeentch, the changer of ways; and Khorne, the god of blood and slaughter.
On the border between the worlds, two mighty kingdoms stand sentinel: the stern warriors of Kislev and the vast empire of Grand Cathay. But each is beset by its own trials, and now both have cause to cross the threshold and send their armies into the Realm of Chaos.
The world stands on a precipice. A single push will plunge it into cataclysm.
And there is one who schemes to achieve just that, an ancient figure who desires nothing less than to wield supreme power. But to succeed, he will need a champion…
The coming conflict will engulf all. Will you conquer your daemons? Or command them?

Astra Exodus
I was a beta tester for this although I came into the testing in the later phase (Super4est on Slitherine, Nandus). Sorry I’m just now getting my review here but as another posted, it came on a busy weekend for me and I wanted to get in some games of the actual steam version before reviewing.
Gaming background - mostly wargamer (board and PC), also like many video game genres such as 4x with MoO being one of my all time favs. I’ve enjoyed 4x since playing its early board game origins - Avalon Hill’s versions of Stellar Conquest, Civilization, etc.

I have played hundreds of hours of MOO 2, and I have to say I am thoroughly enjoying this take on its style. If you have to have tons of eye candy, this game is probably not for you, but for me the graphics are perfectly fine. This game has a good number of traits like MOO 2 with which to customize your race {and some like creative are handled in a more balanced manner}. This game is far more easily modded than MOO 2 {and if for example you want to create races with a different style of images it is not hard to do, you could even change the art in the premade races if you wanted {although it is more than fine for me}. I liked the fact that there was not only a basic tutorial, but also a series of videos explaining the different aspects of the game. I like the random tech tree. I don’t mind the real time combat {one of the biggest flaws in the MOO 2 was that with certain techs, it was way too easy to take advantage of the AI in turn based combat}. The dev is very active and quick to work on any bugs, as well as listening to constructive ideas. I am already having a great time with the game and believe it is only going to get better and better. One thing I would like to see {as someone else has mentioned} is the ability to retrofit. A big thumbs up for me!

Tennis Elbow Manager 2
If you like sports management games, you will definitely love this game. As a long-time player of the OOTP series, MotorSports Manager, Bowl Bound and Wolverine Studios games, I was interested in finding another immersive title to whet my sports management appetite. I was a bit concerned about buying a tennis game, as I am not a die-hard tennis fan, but after spending a few minutes with this game I was hooked.
The game begins with creating your own tennis player or using a close facsimile of a real historical or current player. You then plan their training and tournament schedule. Each player has a preferred style of play and a number of attributes that you focus on improving. You can play out the matches in real-time in a well-presented arcade style of tennis, or you can simply create and adjust an overall strategy while observing your player’s matches (you can also let the game simulate results).

Honestly, if you ever looked for a tennis MANAGER game, look no further !
This game is great in its fundaments and basic principles and tries to depict real life tennis as good as possible, be it animations, tactical decisions, training and most of all, the tactic and skill of the AI Players, which arent overpowered to give you a nut to crack…no, they play and behave like real players with strengths and weaknesses and great tactical awareness !
This Tennis game wants to be a simulation and achieve this goal very well ! The underlying game mechanics are well thought through, and if you take your time to dive deep into it, you can always understand why Player A is most times winning against Player B ! No randomification here

Total War™: ROME II - Emperor Edition
I think I’m getting the hang of it.
– Real player with 6679.6 hrs in game
TLDR: CHECK OUT my 2021 VIDEO REVIEW of Rome II right here: https://youtu.be/qi6DNAHwIK0
FINALLY reviewing this game after almost 900 hours and over 8 years of playing. If you’re willing to pay for it, especially on sale for cheap, there is a ton of content here, likely making Rome 2 the biggest historical Total War experience out there. It definitely lacks depth in certain areas, depth its successor, Attila did a lot better. But despite its faults, Rome 2 is leagues better than it was at launch, and has honestly become a really strong Total War game in its own right.

War War
A old-school style game that is fun and doesn’t take a gigabyte of storage in 2020? Crazy! Seems to be extremely optimized as it is small but brings with it a bunch of fun online matchups. 3 units, ground forces, a tank and 2 drones. I think I am best at the tank as it is easiest, but splitting up the ground forces and controlling individual groups of them with two joysticks on the same controller at once is awesome! Units can’t turn around (they can’t and it seems intended) so the game is a simple match up once you go to War War!
