One of the installments in the economy strategy game series started in 2001 - Tropico. The game has been developed by Limbic Entertainment - the creators of Might & Magic X: Legacy and Might & Magic: Heroes VII. In Tropico 6, the player assumes the role of El Presidente - the leader of a banana republic. The objective is to manage the country by developing the cities, providing the citizens with jobs, fixing the damage caused by various natural disasters, as well as issuing decrees that shape both domestic and foreign policies. One of the novelties delivered by Tropico 6 is the fact that the action of the game no longer takes place on a single island - instead, the country is spread between multiple islands, all of which have to be managed by the player at the same time. The islands can be connected by bridges and tunnels. The game also features agents, who can be dispatched to various corners of the world to - not entirely legally - obtain blueprints for certain structures, such as the Statue of Liberty or the Eiffel Tower. Moreover, the developers decided to allow the players to modify the main palace and appear before the society. During a speech, a player can e.g. make populistic promises.

You play as the head of a typical American family, who has to provide for his loved ones in the face of an incoming nuclear war. The game starts 60 seconds before the first explosion, giving you one minute to get to a shelter while grabbing the most essential provisions on the way. In the next phase you have to survive for as long as you can using only the resources you've managed to gather, which often force you to make very tough decisions. Sometimes, you have to decide whose daily rations should be reduced, sometimes how to deal with problems at hand, such as a cockroach infestation. Despite its seemingly grim theme, the game features a rather light-hearted atmosphere, evident e.g. in its comic-like graphics.

A third-person action game with stealth elements, set in the Cold War period and created by Haggard Games (the title was previously intended as the third installment in the Death to Spies series). The game has you assume the role of a Russian agent, and at the same time a trained assassin. While cooperating with American CIA, he takes part in a series of espionage operations in different parts of the world (Europe, USA, Cuba). At one point, the protagonist discovers a conspiracy that threats not only USA, but also the entire world. Gameplay mechanics bears much resemblance to the Hitman series. Throughout the game's 11 open-structured missions the player will infiltrate secret bases, steal documents, and eliminate enemies. Each mission can be completed in many different ways, using a variety of tactical options, such as disguises, fiber wire, poison, knives, firearms, and even “accidents”. Players’ progress is scored by efficiency and ranked online.

Defcon is the third project of developers from Introversion Software studio, who are behind the creation of Uplink: Trust is a Weakness and Darwinia. The inspiration for this game was undoubtedly the 1983 film War Games (WarGames), and more specifically the scene where the local supercomputer conducted numerous simulations of the global nuclear conflict.
