Catastrophes finally come to Cities: Skylines in the Natural Disasters add-on.

This 2016 take on Hitman is a brilliant game. Expansive level design and nearly unlimited replay value courtesy of so many routes to your assassinations (and so many methods with which to carry them out) make the experience almost completely different each and every time you play.

The banality of evil is on full display in the dark and disturbing Tyranny.

Roguelike hack-and-slasher Necropolis offers intense combat and a quirky setting, along with repetition, confusion, and permadeath difficulty.

Tower defense goes to the stars with Space Run Galaxy, a game that blends tactical thinking, twitch action, and starship trucking.

Baldur’s Gate gets an impressive expansion in Siege of Dragonspear, a new D&D epic that fills some blanks in the original saga after nearly 20 years.

Hack and slash your way through the brilliantly realized horror-fantasy world of Grim Dawn, an instant classic in the action RPG genre.

A winter wonderland comes to Cities: Skylines in the Snowfall DLC, a pleasing if pricey expansion featuring snow plows and hockey rinks.

Fortified has an impressive pulp sci-fi pedigree and speedy co-op play, but the blending of shoot-em-up and tower defense gameplay stumbles.

Hard West is a satisfyingly creepy mash-up of six-gun horror and tactical combat.
