It features an all-star cast with familiar names including Michael Madsen, Chuck Norris, Danny Trejo, Danny Glover, Michael Rooker, Kim Basinger, Vanilla Ice, and Damion Poitier.

Despite this,Rockay Cityreceived mixed reviews from critics, landing a score of just 52. Many felt the game was outdated and poorly written.

Developers haven’t abandoned the project though, releasing a steady stream of updates and changes so it could well be worth revisiting.

As for Paradox Interactive’sCities: Skylines - Remastered, this one also landed last year. A reimagining of the 2015 city builder, this souped up version adds a few new shiny bells and whistles to the classic that lets you build a thriving metropolis.

With over-the-top weaponry and fun stylised graphics, it’s a nice change of pace from other games on this list.

A little bit of something for everyone, as they say.
