Genre: Space Strategy | Steam-Release: 15. August 2024 | Preis: 49 Euro
Sins of a Solar Empire 2 is a 4X franchise like Distant Worlds that lets you control your empire’s galactic ambitions in a very detailed way.
You collect resources, develop new star systems and thus expand your influence in the galaxy. You control the real-time battles in the vacuum of space mostly manually, which gives you tactical options against different enemy strengths.
Consent on Steam: 87 percent of over 1,100 reviewers say it’s positive.
Tales & Tactics
Genre: Roguelike-Tactics | Steam-Release: 15. August 2024 | Preis: 18 Euro
What if … thought the developers of Tales & Tactics and created a kind of Teamfight Tactics for single player. Table 9 Studios is the name of the team that previously released the famous fan expansion Downfall for Slay the Spire.
In Tales & Tactics, you fight largely automated battles that you influence through the selection of your fighting units and tactical decisions. If you die, you can still keep some progress to go even further next time – roguelike style.

Shapez 2

The Europe Factorio Shapez 2 launches in Early Access on Steam
Genre: Factory building strategy | Steam-Release: 15. August 2024 (Early Access) | Preis: 24 Euro
The predecessor is already an insider tip for people who love Factorio or Satisfactory. The Europe production Shapez 2 takes the industrial mold-laying game, which was previously presented in 2D, into the third dimension. And it has been extremely well received by first-time players.
You produce shapes, assemble them into larger shapes, and color them in attractive colors. You have to imagine the molds as your products. You have a lot of freedom in how you want to arrange your assembly lines. A bit like in a sandbox, except that nobody steals your molds.
Consent on Steam: 99 percent of over 1,600 reviewers say it’s positive.
14:09
In Level Zero: Extraction, fear is a nasty traitor
Genre: Extraction-Shooter | Steam-Release: 13. August 2024 (Early Access) | Preis: 20 Euro
If the Hunt: Showdown 1896 event doesn’t appeal to you, Level Zero: Extraction might be more to your taste. Instead of westerns, this is a futuristic alien hunt that mixes PvE and PvP.
Special twist: A monster is also controlled by a real person. Here, the stealth-combat-loot spiral is supplemented by an asymmetrical component like in Dead by Daylight. One thing remains clear: you can only survive if the extraction is successful.
Consent on Steam: 70 percent of around 1,000 reviewers say it’s positive.
Cat Quest 3
Genre: Cat Adventures | Steam-Release: 8. August 2024 | Preis: 20 Euro
After all the grim and serious titles, you deserve a cuddly portion of fur balls. In Cat Quest 3 you slip into the fur of a cat that goes on all kinds of adventures on a vast island landscape.
Your seafaring cat constantly encounters marauding Pi Rats in his boat, who want to get their hands on your hard-earned treasures. There is also a demo on Steam if you want to take a look at Cat Quest 3 without any obligation.
Consent on Steam: 94 percent of over 900 reviewers say it’s positive.
