Mechfights made mellow in Ignited Steel: Mech Tactics
I cannot tell alkali
While fads come and go, mech games continue to simmer pleasantly away without ever taking over or going away. The latest one I've finally made some time for is Ignited Steel Colon Mech Tactics, a turn-based tactical game with a light sprinkling of FTL.

Puzzle game collection CosmOS 9 is a gentle introduction to the genre
Games sent from space to puzzle neophytes
A new collection of indie puzzle games released today aims to give a broad and gentle introduction to many puzzling subgenres.
