"Off chance you ever make the time to play" hurt me...

I know that Xcom 2 overshadows 1, but Xcom: Enemy Unknown is only $3 in the Summer Sale and is still the GOAT for me.

[kdizzlemynizzle]

Just purchased workers and resources on your recommendation.

[KamramBehzad]

You are a curse to my purse. Just bought two of these because of how well you presented them. Honestly they should pay you a percentage. And I already have some of these games or I might have bought more.

[DansenOpWagner]

Against The Storm is phenomenal. Getting an awesome idea like Roguelite + City Builder blend on paper is one thing, but combined with the excellent mechanics and its fever dream vibe, they knocked it out of the park. HIGHLY recommended.

Ixion is an amazing game, had it since launch and the depth and story is astounding. The music score is about the best i have heard on a game in a long time too

[jeremyswanson]

I picked up Crusader Kings 3 and your tutorial playlist is amazing. Thank you!

[paulcaikman]

The previous game from the Shadow Gambit studio, Desperados III, still holds up and is also on sale at -75% off

[seanphelan]

Songs of Conquest is so addictive. I forgot that it was just early access when it first came out thanks for pointing out it's now in 1.0 release

[neintales]

Ostriv is only BARELY on sale, but when it comes to historically based city builders, it's been one of my favorites for a long time. Its setting is the 1700's in Ukraine rather than based in medieval era, but it has some unique mechanics for balancing labor and how your villagers are fed. It's another early access game that's a passion project for a single developer who goes out of his way to try and bring in accuracy in the building types and to the production tree even if it could be called a little more simple and chill than most. There's no combat at all in Ostriv, and no real permanent bankruptcy either, though you can still goof and lose all your villagers due to not providing what they need.

He's not blowing smoke in the developer's face about workers and resources y'all. That game has been epic for a good couple of years now

[Rijoaoajoo]

Age of Wonders 4 hands down best of the best

[nathanielmerchant]

Great list, but I would love to have the price posted somewhere on the screen if you can do it. Especially during a sale.

[TheFinn]

Watching your playthrough inspired me to pick up Workers and Resources.

I'm wondering if you've checked out Shadows of Forbidden Gods? It's obviously a passion project that lacks the QoL of more polished games, but it's an excellent chance to play The Big Bad waking from darkness (a la Sauron or Cthulu)

[caseyjones]

Frostpunk is on sale for super cheap, like 2 or 3 dollars, crazy deal.

[stephanjunk]

Satisfactory is also on Sale. VERY good and the 1.0 release is coming in September when the story behind the game will finally be released.
I've enjoyed this factory game immensely!

[pancho]

The wandering village is excellent and has continued to receive regular updates throughout early access. Highly recommend

[sanse]

An IXION playthrough is a mix of high risk and high reward or punishment. You don't get to rest and take a breather, super fun took me atleast 6 tries to beat

[andreproductions]

Would like to see your opinion on dyson sphere program

[a_dog_that]

There's fun rts that uses something interesting ant! U have to build ur own ant colonel and there is a story mode I would love to see u play it as I played it and it is fun it's called empire of the undergrowth
