A mostly self-driven game, Cities Skylines is the ultimate city builder and simulation game this decade. Hours can feel like minutes when you're just trying to add one more district, add a new metro line, or try and solve that congestion bottleneck that's causing gridlock in your city.

Steam Workshop support allows for users to customise the experience to their liking, whether it is adding in unique buildings and assets stylized after real-life structures, tweaking the build and AI settings to draw neater grids and smarter traffic, or maxing our your GPU and CPU temps with visual overhaul mods.

Once you've built (and more likely destroyed with traffic jams) your first few cities, it can be easy to spend just "one more turn" adding some finishing touches on an area or strategically placing trees and props to add more character. The game adequately paces the availability of new zones to purchase so you can really see how your city grows over time, and once reasonably into the game, you should have the adequate space and funds to plan out your settlements rather than patching up problems with utilities and traffic along the way.

Plus, it's always nice to zoom really far in after you've built up a good portion of your city and see the detached suburban homes of your new development juxtaposed with the sprawling skyscrapers you've built in the background.

An incredibly story-driven shooter hidden under the veil of a modern shooter. This game not only engages the player, but it does so with gameplay not designed to be "fun". It tries to modify your moral compass and make you oblivious and desensitized to your actions. It takes a military shooter to the next extreme, immersing the player through the horrors of war, not through the glorification of violence. It juxtaposes the seriousness of war with the detached and disjointed combat. A great game for anyone who has a couple of hours and who enjoys games for the story.
