It was good but..... Had its flaws.
It you compare it like for like to the old ones, in Particular Syndicate wars, you can literally bullet point a whole list of features that you had in the old game and not this one, shame, a little more effort and this game could have been epic.
yeah SWARS was one of my favourites from that time, Persuadertron zerg squads

A few of my favourites;
Return of the Obra Dinn - first-person exploration using logical deduction, with minimalist visuals
Orcs Must Die series - fun mash-up of tower defence and 3rd person action
Defense Grid - great tower defence
Baba is You - ingenious puzzler
They Are Billions - strategy builder where you hold off increasingly large hordes of zombies
Slay the Spire - roguelike deck builder
Frozen Synapse - clever turn-based tactics
Limbo - beautifully dark puzzle platform
Inside - follow up to Limbo
Mark of the Ninja - stealthy platformer
Superhot - clever FPS where time moves only when you move
Spelunky - randomly generated roguelike platformer
Invisible, Inc. - stealthy turn based strategy
Space Chem - design-based puzzle game
Little Nightmares - dark whimsical tale
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun - tactical stealth á la Commandos/Desperados
(great thread by the way)

i know this is an old post but just wanted to say i've just completed the game this weekend. what a random game that was but a fantastic fun game from start to finish. it's not often i finish a game and am left sad that it's over and missing it. usually it seems these days that games are so full of rubbish content that I end up happy to be done with it and enjoy clicking "uninstall", but the exact opposite is the case with Obra Dinn.
really recommend everyone check it out, especially as it's ridiculously cheap. £5~ or so on pc

Project Zomboid - Although I can't play it anymore as there's still no support for 4k, nor is there any NPCs in the game.
Orcs must die
Hades - Someone did the first max heat run a few months ago. That's some serious dedication and one hell of an record in the world of gaming achievements.
Sattelite Reign was a massive disappointment I found. Supposed to be a modern Syndicate and wasn't even close to it. Bullfrog was such a great studio I played most of their games as a kid. Why did EA even buy it I mean I don't think they've even done anything with the IPs? Other than the Syndicate FPS that nobody asked for

Game Dev Tycoon - its an old game but its still amazingly compelling 10 years on from release (or a bit more than 10, but it came to steam in 2013) Ive probably put 50-60 hours into it total between the steam and the pre steam version.
Also a "toilet game" which I keep coming back to on my phone!
Soldato
Did it come out on mobile too? That will keep me entertained on the toilet for months to come!
It did! Think it's about £5.
It was actually based on a free game called Game Dev Story, which is lovely and a bit less in depth - well worth a download.
Soldato
yeah i loved game dev story and played a lot off it but tycoon improved on it - they have tavern keeper coming out next year sometime, id love a sequel
