Tomb Raider

1. Tomb Raider

It's probably going to be one of my favorite Tomb Raider games going forward and as it stands it's just incredibly fun and exciting to play. I also enjoyed the MP since I missed previous attempts at mixing platforming with competitive online.

Glory to Arstotzka!

Sid Meier's Civilization V: Brave New World

3. Sid Meier's Civilization V: Brave New World

Even better than Civ V and Gods & Kings already were. All of the central changes are excellent - actually vulnerable units doing the trading, improved culture victory and tourism system, "cold war"-style ideological blocks in the lategame. It's one of my definitive strategy games, I've played it for hundreds of hours and now I'll play it for hundreds more.

The Stanley Parable

4. The Stanley Parable

One of the few bite-sized, almost non-games that truly delivered for me.

Company of Heroes 2

5. Company of Heroes 2

Enjoyable campaign, great MP, silly DLC, more of the same.

SolForge

6. SolForge

Early Access, but still... The recent update with bugfixes, tournaments and new cards sealed the deal. I really hope this'll only get better and better with time and more varied cards. Also, not to harp on the issue of pricing, but having played more than a hundred, highly entertaining hours for free is pretty good value.

Shadow Warrior

7. Shadow Warrior

Near perfect for what it is. Now give me my Blood remake goddammit!

Reus

8. Reus

Great, surprisingly deep strategy game with a very cool art style. Some slight technical issues that got fixed very swiftly.

Dust: An Elysian Tail

9. Dust: An Elysian Tail

PC version. Enjoyable gameplay, great art (especially the world), cool story. Fidget!

Brütal Legend

10. Brütal Legend

PC version. Solid port, some flaws, very cool game.
