Jack Keane 2: The Fire Within

simply stunning

This game costs about 5 times as much as most other games, but believe you me, it is at least ten times as good. You thought Master of Magic was a classic, you thought Eador was the work of a modern day Einstein? Then you haven't played Jack Keane 2 yet. After Jack Keane 2 the aforementioned will seem like trash to you. Buy all you can!

Patrician 1+2

Get Patrician 3 instead

If you are looking for the sequel, get Patrician 3 instead, it is the same game as Patrician 2 with the expansion which improves the game ALOT. There is zero reason to play without it. In Germany it was called "Aufschwung der Hanse" and sold as an expansion to Patrician 2. If you are looking for Patrician 1, then disregard this review.

FTL: Advanced Edition

Strategy matters

FTL is a game where good planning and strategy matter. It is one of those easy to learn, hard to master games. In the beginning it will seem very difficult, you will get the impression that only luck or the randomness matters. (as several reviews here presume). But this is only true, if you don't know what to do. As you learn the game and improve your strategy, you will realise that it is always possible to win despite the worst luck. And this is the genius of FTL, it rewards the player for skill, not luck. Nowadays I only lose a game if I make some serious mistake, like letting my crew suffocate,shooting down my boarding crew or boarding enemies in an asteroid field. I can recommend this game to anyone who likes strategy games that require thinking and planning. It is not really a roguelike, but more like any other strategy game on a random map with ironman mode. (and there are ways to circumvent the saving restrictions) To the people who think it all about luck I can only recommend to analyse each lost game and think about what you could have done better. You will find mistakes, avoid those the next time and you will become better. At least with the first few ships it is possible to win everytime, the later layout throw some really difficult stuff at you, but maybe better players than I can even win consistently with the DA-SR 12.
