Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition

Age Empires III : Definitive Editionis a terrific remaster of an ambitious game. While AoEIII never rewrote the real-time strategy scene like Age of Empires II did, it’s still a creative and detailed game with a few unique mechanics. This historical RTS covers the Gunpowder Era, casting players as Early Modern colonial powers such as the British, the Dutch and the Ottomans. Thegame’s two expansions also added Native American tribes and Asian civilizations. TheDefinitive Edition adds a few new historical scenarios, as well as a ton of quality-of-life enhancements, and is worth a look from both new and returning fans.

Age Empires III : Definitive Editionwas $20, now $15 on Steam 

Assassin’s Creed Origins

If you’re not sure where to start with the Assassin’s Creed series, Assassin’s Creed Origins is a good jumping-on point. This game kicked off the franchise’s most recent trilogy, which comprises Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla. In this open-world action/stealth title, you take control of Bayek of Siwa: a Medjay in Egypt circa 48 BCE. There, he’ll cross swords with Egyptian, Greek and Roman forces while he unearths a deadly conspiracy. Origins has a huge world to explore and a fast-paced combat system, but the story is the big draw here – particularly once you learn which historical villain is pulling the strings.

Assassin’s Creed Origins $ 60 , $ 12 Steam

BioShock: TheCollection

BioShock is one of those rare series that doesn’t have a bad entry. Thefirst game is transcendent; the third game is daring; the second game is merely excellent. BioShock: TheCollection gathers all three together, along with all of their attendant DLC. That means you get dozens of hours of first-person shooter action, complete with plenty of exploration and RPG elements. Whether you’re exploring the underwater dystopia of Rapture or the floating city of Columbia, BioShock has something interesting to say about philosophical concepts like objectivism, collectivism and American exceptionalism.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

Kickstarter games can go wrong so easily, it’s something of a miracle that Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night didn’t. This game to set out to be a perfect spiritual successor to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and it succeeded with flying colors. You play as Miriam: a demon hunter who must explore a demon-infested castle and rescue her friend fro a terrible curse. You level up as you defeat enemies; you learn new traversal moves; you complete a variety of difficult quests for some very needy townsfolk. If you like Metroidvanias, this is one of the best you can get.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was $40, now $20 on Steam

Chroma Squad

Chroma Squadis a niche game for a niche audience, but it’s easily my favorite indie game of the last decade. If you grew up watching Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers and its myriad spinoffs, this game has you in mind. You create your own group of stunt actors who set out to make their own Power Rangers-style show, starting with a very limited budget. What ensues is half management sim, as you try to grow the show’s fan base, and half strategy/RPG, as you fight off campy rubber monsters that eventually get much realer than expected.

Chroma Squad$ 15 , $ 4 Steam

Doom

Doom was easily one of the most refreshing shooters in years when it launched in 2016. This soft reboot eschewed the fetch quests, overwrought stories and moral ambiguity common among modern shooters, and instead laser-focused on slaying demons in the most brutal, grisly ways imaginable. Doom is a nonstop thrill ride, where if you stop moving for even a few seconds, you’ll probably get blown to bits and have to try again. Thekinetic, heart-pounding action would be enough to recommend Doom, but it’s also got a terrific sense of style, and a killer soundtrack.

Doom $ 20 , $ 6 Steam

What is Remains Remains Edith Finch  

( Image credit : Steam )

What Remains of Edith Finch is a very short game, so it can be a tough recommendation at full price. On sale, however, it’s an easy sell. In this bizarre adventure game, you take control of the titular character, who explores her family’s architecturally questionable ancestral home in the Pacific Northwest. TheFinch family bears a terrible curse, and Edith wants to get to the bottom of it. To do so, she’ll have to find her way through the creaky old house, solving simple puzzles and reliving some extremely creative fantasy sequences from departed family members.

What Remains of Edith Finch was $20, now $7 on Steam 

TheWitcher 3: Wild Hunt

TheWitcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of those titles that needs no introduction. As one of the best games of 2015, TheWitcher 3 won fans over with its expansive open world, its intriguing story and its customizable character-building. Still, there’s been a whole new crop of Witcher fans over the last few years, thanks to the excellent series on Netflix and the increased popularity of the books. Since TheWitcher 3 can easily last more than 100 hours per playthrough, this one gets you a lot of bang for your buck.

TheWitcher 3: Wild Hunt $ 40 , $ 8 Steam
