Genre: Strategy

RUINER is a brutal action shooter with an insanely cool aesthetic, great music and engaging characters. Controls can be a bit frustrating on gamepads.

Dark, varied, complex, addictive and unforgiving. If you like turnbased RPGs, just get it - no question. When I first played I could not stop myself from saying aloud “this game is so fucking good.”

An unassuming and simple game with tonnes of replayability.

An intriguing and dynamic game in the vein of X-COM which is worth the price of entry if at times a little frustrating.

Probably better suited to a mobile game these days, but extremely pleasant and a fun way to work your way through calmness to eventual OCD-like anxiety.

Tactical RPG storyboard with fantastic characters, artstyle and music. Quite challenging at times, which fits with its dramatic, larger than life tone. Doesn’t outstay it’s welcome. Really good.

An almost flawless explosion onto the scene by Jon Blow. Simple mechanics that grow increasingly complicated, making way for some challenging puzzles inside a beautiful and sombre world. Must play.

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.
