Genre: Strategy

A simple but unique puzzle platformer which may seem gimmicky but is actually quite good, if a little buggy.

One of the best games ever made. Dauntingly complex, but mindblowingly considered and exceedingly well executed. It’s hard to overstate the brilliance of Dota 2, a game beyond compare.

An innovative and unique take on turnbased strategy with tonnes of replayability. Great soundtrack and decent narrative.

A classic modern and hugely influential roguelike which will make you love/hate RNG like almost no other. Strikes a great balance of simplicity and underlying complexity. Almost certainly a classic.

Extremely well designed first person physics-based puzzle game with terrific voice acting. Short playtime and not mindbendingly challenging, but worth a look if you’re into the genre.

If you’re an Ed McMillen fan, you gotta pick this up. The games vary a lot and it’s hard to critique what are essentially chapters in an autobiography.

Transistor is a bold, beautiful masterpiece. Turn-based strategic combat which is fun and challenging punctuate an absolutely gorgeous, bittersweet story with typically great Supergiant dialog and VA.

While it may be better suited to mobile these days, World of Goo is a great puzzle/bridge-building game with a simple mechanic it explores well.
