Partisans 1941 is one of the newer generation of real-time, small unit tactics stealth games where your outnumbered squad must sneak around and carefully overcome overwhelming odds.

Peril on Gorgon is the first of two planned DLCs for last year’s Game of The Year winner, The Outer Worlds. The stupendous sci-fi RPG shooter is back with new missions, a darker story, more exploration and about eight to 10 hours of extended and exciting gameplay.
Picklock is a pixel-based, strategic thief simulator that will have you stealing everything that’s not nailed down from the till of cash registers to the toilet paper in your target’s bathroom. It offers pretty good gameplay for not much money.
