Is the sandbox mode of The Long Dark good? I'm emboldened by the fact that Firewatch runs smoothly on my laptop, so I'm looking at games I didn't consider before.

The Long Dark is very good. It's the only survival game that I've really enjoyed, and they're consistently adding new content.

Great, thanks. Picked it up. Also, everything Hitman: Absolution, Never Alone and Oxenfree.

I'm a little confused by the Civilization: Beyond Earth reviews on Steam. Does the expansion, which seems to be liked, fix the problems people had with the game?

edit: Or is the main complaint just "It's Civ 5 with a new skin", which isn't a negative in my book.

I'm a little bit out of the loop here: is there a game on sale that plays like a modern version of Warlords 3: Darklords Rising? Turn-based strategy with a focus on pumping out units + combat, not so much city management?

Age of Wonders 3.

Oh, that's perfect. I remember liking Shadow Magic a lot. Thank you.

edit: v Thanks. I decided to grab the whole thing at 50% off.

Thanks a lot for the Age of Wonders 3 recommendation. It took just half an hour to remind me why I put hundreds of hours into Master of Magic and Warlords 2 & 3. I can probably uninstall every other game on my laptop now.
