The original Total War: Warhammer proved high fantasy was an explosive ingredient to add to Creative Assembly’s longstanding strategy franchise.

LawBreakers
LawBreakers is a smart arena-shooter that hearkens back to the early age of digital slaying, where mobility is essential, battles are decided in split seconds, and skill determines who thrives and who dies. Despite putting critical pieces together to deliver tight action and unique play styles, LawBreakers lacks a sense...

More than 20 years ago, Alan Emrich coined the term “4X” (Explore, Expand, Exploit, and Exterminate) in a preview for Computer Gaming World. The game being described was Master of Orion, and the strategy genre owes much to the classic title; it is essentially the grandfather of all space 4X...
Starbound

Players begin in deep space, surrounded by unfamiliar planets and with a malfunctioning ship at their disposal. From there, the universe opens up...
Overwatch
As the clock winds down to zero, you backtrack in time to drop a perfect pulse bomb on the enemy position, blowing apart the greedy robot-turned-turret and his teammate, a slick sniper assassin who was too busy tracking her prey to notice your explosive gift. The game heads into overtime...
