  1. 40K Battlesector for my turn-based strategy fix:

     

    Lovely detail, rewarding gameplay, and upgrading your Heroes and units makes for unique gameplay styles: Fast, and close, heavy bombardment from range; or slow, punishing mechs; or a mixture of the above.

     

     

     

    Hell Let Loose: Wonderful team based shooter that gives off Battlefield 1942 vibes, with the Realism mod. Hardly a HUD, no crosshairs, any body shot within 200m is a kill (can be revived) headshots are fatal, and extremely satisfying  :aitch: to hear that ping!

    The fluid gameplay stems from the randomized control points, and mobile spawn points that are constructed with resources, and therefor require not only team work, but Squad coordination with the Commander.  Vehicles are limited to Tanks (Light, Medium, Heavy) along with Recon vehicles and transport/supply trucks; and for the most part they require a team inside them to work effectively (less so with a recon vehicle, but certainly with any available tank) so no air vehicles. 

     

    With the Eastern Front added in update 1.0 we get Kursk and Stalingrad added as maps along with the Russian's as a faction; and while they don't get a bombing run for the Commander to use, they have Katyusha Rocket Barrage, which is one of the best moments in recent multiplayer gaming memory. The tell-tale sound of them launching, the noise they make as they descend, and the visual fx in-game are awesome to behold.

     

     

    The Ascent - pure eye candy, visceral combat, and a satisfying cyberpunk aesthetic to it; it runs not so well with RTX, but I've got it in 4K with DLSS and it's sublime, and the videos you've seen on Youtube, or whatever does not do this game justice. Does need some issues with technical issues resolved, and their 12 person development team shows when it comes to a polished product; tough when you're that small.

    Note: If you get this on gamepass, it does not have DLSS, nor RTX; furthermore you can only coop with other Windows live users :reg:
