IXION: Out Now

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1113120/IXION/

After years of human destruction, the Earth is slowly dying and mankind is trying to escape its fate. The stars present a new beginning, a new home, and a glimmer of hope for the future.

Authorised by DOLOS Aerospace Engineering Corporation (AEC), you are the Administrator of the Tiqqun, tasked with managing the space station as you jump from system to system in search of new resources, scientific advancements and, above all else, salvation.

Meanwhile, you must research new technologies, unlock new areas within the station, and keep the power flowing. Your most important mission is to keep mankind alive.

Corsair’s iCUE technology will make your experience an even more intense immersion as it reacts to the in-game action on your screen and synchronizes the RGB on all your compatible CORSAIR devices for a setup-wide light show beyond compare.

5 exciting city builders coming out before the end of 2022

I'm always on the lookout for the next great city builder, and there are more of them in development now than ever before. Like Fraser noted earlier this year, no one out there is really making a play for the big urban city builder market these days, but just because Cities: Skylines is the uncontested king doesn't mean there aren't lots of smaller and more niche builders being made, many with survival systems, historical themes, or sci-fi settings...
