Battle for Wesnoth

The single greatest free game you can play on steam, if you are a fan of strategy games. Its rules are simple, yet allow for incredibly complex decisions to be made in a battle. The lore is great and some of the campaigns have stories which could straight be made into TV shows. The graphics are made with love and detail and, combined with the absolute beast of a soundtrack, makes every scenario feel like an epic fantasy adventure. Just play it!

Hadn't played this game in years and thought "It couldn't be as fun and immersive as I remembered" but, nope, still bangs actually. Battles give you plenty to think about (though you may find yourself savescumming a lot especially if you weren't being careful, but also ofc just getting shafted by unlikely RNG) and there's just an exciting balance of sacrificing expendable units and preserving high value units (contrasting a bit with xcom or fire emblem where you usually wanna keep everyone alive), oh and the music just slaps and between that and the evocative pixel art it's just remarkably immersive and imagination-tickling. So yeah really fun game.
