TCG Card Shop Simulator pairs retail management with the rush of uncovering rare cards and selling them for silly money.
Love the logistics aspects of city-building games? Transport Fever 3 is nothing but and it could have you hooked.
Review: Available now on PC, Doloc Town is Fallout meets Stardew Valley, and this post-apocalyptic farming sim Doloc Town has me hooked.
Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes is a challenging space-based strategy outing that'll delight fans of the series and roguelike fans who appreciate having their spirits crushed.
Pathologic 3
There’s some fun to be had with Taxi Chaos 2, but it fails to capture the anarchical joy of the classic Crazy Taxi.
Whether you're a series veteran or a newcomer, Anno 117: Pax Romana is a delightfully deep time-sink of a game. This gripping historical(ish) city-builder will have you hooked thanks to its complex drama and engrossing gameplay.
For a game set in a jail, Back to the Dawn offers an impressive amount of freedom. Coupled with a conspiracy-minded story, and more side-quests you can shake a shiv at, you'll be hooked.
If you've got a taste for the macabre, you really can't go wrong with The Necromancer's Tale. It makes you work for your necromantic powers but its gripping story will have hooked from beginning to end.
If you have a taste for horror, you'll be right at home with Deck of Haunts. This deckbuilder may be light on story, but how many other games can you say cast you as a haunted house? Its core game loop of dispatching hapless intruders will have you grinning.
Old Skies is a time-travelling point-and-click adventure with a compelling narrative that drags you in deeper with each questionable, time-altering decision. It's not short on heart, either, though you'll have to play to discover if protagonist Fia gets the ending she deserves.
Cabernet is a hugely engaging story-driven take on the vampire tale, boasting a thoroughly likeable, neck-biting protagonist and a smattering of decisions that'll have you second-guessing yourself. Technical issues aside, this is a must-play for fans of the supernatural.
The Cabin Factory shakes things up enough that it's a cut above your average anomaly game. And while it could run smoother, at this budget price you really can't go wrong.
