X-com - fun but not really into space to much
Civ 4 - fun but can take an age to get into the fun stuff
Ometra - not much depth at all

- Total War
- Divinity Original Sin
- Wasteland 2
- Battle Academy 2: Eastern Front

I believe those are all turn based

Endless legend is cool.

Silent Storm is 70% off on GOG I picked it up a couple of days ago myself. It`s great so far, has destructible environments and projectile physics and all the good stuff from Xcom down to micro managing what ammo you carry or which way your soldiers face during battle etc

Darkest Dungeon is superb.

The Long War mod for XCom, turns into a much deeper game.

Depends how much you intend to play each day. A couple of hours each day and it'd be fine. A full days playing and you'd be pushing to get more than 1 day out of it as it is in it's current state.

I also recommend X:Com Long War, great game mod and The Banner Sage if you're looking for something with a slower pace.

EDIT: Turn-based... how could anyone look past Hearthstone?

old school battle isle, completed it

Im just playing enemy within, but its very similar unknown so I think I should have done long war
