I'm not sure if this counts as a "patient gamer" because I played them to death years ago...but I've been playing both again recently and they're just perfect little games with a ton of replayability. They're not retro (FTL 2012, ITB 2018) but they're old enough to regularly go on sale which is great!

Highly recommended if you like roguelite strategy games.

If you have any similar games to suggest, please leave a comment. I'm sure there's tons of great strategy games I've missed over the years

I think FTL might have been my overall favorite game of the 2010's. Anything with a space setting can immediately get my attention, but I think it also managed to be just the kind of roguelite gameplay I love, too.

Fights in Tight Spaces and Nitro Kid are the closest I've seen to Into the Breach's puzzly/must-think-ahead style. Both are card-based battlers, though.

Also..adding those two to my wishlist, thanks!

My friend and I were talking games and each wrote up our (unordered) top 20 games of all time and FTL was on both. I don't think it's top 10 for me overall.... but it might be for the 2010s! I'll have to review it

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
