Divinity: Dragon Commander review

Divinity: Dragon Commander is the only strategy game on this list. Larian Studios' Steam page casts you as the Dragon Commander, trying to reunite a broken empire by ruling it, building armies and leading them to victory. Battles run as real-time strategy across sea, land and air, and at any point you can turn into a dragon to support your troops. Between battles a turn-based world map handles armies, technology and magic upgrades, and political decisions change how the war plays out. It has a single-player campaign plus online and LAN multiplayer, co-op campaigns and skirmish maps. The hardware bar is low at 2 GB of RAM and 15 GB of storage. It ranks ninth because it came out in 2013, only 73% of 1,985 Steam reviews are positive, and $39.99 is a full price for a game this old.
