The characters are the best thing about this game. All of them are so nice, even the enemies, and the predictable and cheesy ending is somehow perfect too. It's exactly how I wish the real world could be. Oh, and the gameplay... that's also good. The difficulty and complexity are just enough to feel challenging without being frustrating (to a person like me with average ability at this sort of game).

A fantastic deckbuilder roguelike with a slay-the-spire path chooser. You use cards to move objects (including yourself) on a few 1D planes, as well as shoot, block, deploy objects, and some more esoteric things. The mix-and-match card pool via character selection makes for a huge pool of combos to make emergent strategies out of. Hope to see this DRM-free at some point.

Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty
Dune II: The Building of a DynastyDune II is often considered the first mainstream modern real-time strategy game and established many conventions of the genre. Even though set in Frank Herbert's famous Dune universe, the game is only loosely connected to the plot of any of the books or the films based from them. Controlling either of the three Houses, the player must fight a number of battles against the other Houses. In the early levels, the goal is simply to earn a certain number of credits, while in the later missions, all enemies must be destroyed. The single resource in the game is the Spice, which must be collected by harvesters. The spice is converted to credits in a refinery, which are then spent to construct additional buildings and units. There are two terrain types: buildings can only be constructed on stone, while the Spice is only found on sand. However, units moving on sand attract the large sandworms of Dune, who are virtually indestructible and can swallow even large units whole. As levels progress, new and more advanced buildings and units are made available, including structures like a radar station, a repair facility or defense turrets and, for units, various ground troops, light vehicles and tanks. Each House can construct one unique special unit, and, after building a palace improvement, can unleash a unique palace effect.
