When I started playing Thea: The Awakening, I was excited for its possibilities. I'd love to play the game that I thought, in those early hours, that I was playing. If the card battle system were better and less predictable, if there was more stuff to do with your village and a greater tension between exploration and protecting your home, if failure weren't quite so punishing or random at times… Thea breaks the mold by doing a lot of different things at once. It just needs to do all of them better.

What happens when you take Left 4 Dead and swap the zombies out for rat men? Some good blood, guts, and loot.

Wargaming's free-to-play naval simulator gives these beastly warships the great battles history denied them.

I enjoy a lot of things about Act of Aggression: the bloody, orgiastic spectacle of it. The tactical combat that puts a premium on winning the battle for map vision and positioning. The nuanced faction differences. But Act of Aggression is also a game that obscures information rather than reveals it, and attempts to bewilder you with a million minor choices rather than a few clear-cut strategic decisions. In sharp contrast to Eugen's previous work, my first enemy is always the game itself.

Ship building is still the big draw for StarDrive 2, but the rest of this 4X strategy game isn't so hot.

A wonderful world to explore that's packed with memorable written vignettes and danger.
