If you're looking for a complex building strategy that pays close attention to detail, this is an excellent choice. However, be aware that progress is relatively slow and there is no full-fledged campaign.

Not all Xcom-like games have to be the same, as shown by Chains of Freedom, a post-apocalyptic strategy game with a strong focus on story. It's a shame that the second half of the game is weaker.

Top Spin from 2k is no longer the only representative of its kind, and the calm surface of tennis waters is about to be disturbed by Tiebreak produced by Big Ant Games. Despite some shortcomings, you will enjoy tennis in the game.

The authors of USC: Counterforce put so much on their shoulders that they visibly ran out of steam in the final sprint, which is why the game looks the way it does. It's a waste of time pretending to be an Aliens - Xcom when everything, including difficulty settings, campaign handling, base building and unit management, feels rushed and unfinished.

One of the best urban strategies comes from Slovakia, and in addition to its complexity, it also impresses with its setting in the period of socialism. This leitmotif will not bother you, even if this time does not mean anything to you, and when you have experienced it yourself for at least a moment, it will be all the more interesting for you.

In the case of Classified, we are not talking about a brilliant, innovative concept of the genre of turn-based strategies, but rather about a solid use of already used and well-known mechanics and tools. Overall, the word "solid" describes the game perfectly.

The successful Heroes of Might and Magic clone adds a hell of a lot of extra content in the new DLC for a good price. One more move and he's really going to sleep.

An unusual strategy with roguelike elements, excellent processing and addictive gameplay will definitely keep you entertained, and thanks to randomly generated content, it will definitely last a long time.

There are three types of people. The living, the dead, and those at sea. Under The Waves is a non-standard philosophical game where you think about this statement. It mainly focuses on the effect from the emotional experience.
