This game breaks new ground in terms of unflinching realism by being the first artistic work to really force the audience first to confront the futility, then the absurdity, and ultimately the idiocy, of trying to solve problems by voting.
By allowing players the option of calling their own votes, while faithfully simulating the workings of that political process, this brilliant game takes the player rapidly through the stages of hope, disbelief, frustration, dawning comprehension, and finally despair as they watch others begin struggling through the same lessons, while fruitlessly trying to warn rookies of the forgone failure of their activism. In only a few hundred hours of gaming, one achieves a level of understanding of the emptiness of the democratic process that normally takes decades to achieve.

Team Fortress 2 is a team-based first-person shooter multiplayer video game developed and published by Valve. Released in 2007, Team Fortress 2 is the second most popular game, amassing 20.3 million registered users who have played over 1.4 billion hours. Similar to its predecessors, Team Fortress 2 is focused around two opposing teams (RED and BLU) competing for a combat-based principal objective which can range from capturing the flag to pushing the cart. The marriage of the highly stylised retro-spy presentation and the fast-paced action from each game mode provides a refined and approachable game-play which results in a gorgeous and endlessly fun experience, even when you’re losing.

Think of Beep as a quantum physicist wearing tie-dye trousers: it's clever with the physics, but not so easy on the eyes.
It's a 2D platform game where you control a little robot on wheels, or Wall-E as forged by Korean merchandisers. You visit different planets in a solar system (there's a cute level selection menu with a rocket) to collect chunks of flaming gold rock. These rocks unlock more levels and more planets, but as always, it's a little more complicated than it sounds.

Dota 2 is a free-to-play MOBA. Dota 2 is a remake of Defense of the Ancients, the Warcraft lll mod that laid out the principles of leveling up a hero, pushing lanes and destroying towers. In Dota each team needs to work together with the goal of ultimately destroying a central structure - the Ancient-in the opposing team's base.
There are more than 100 heroes you can choose from. Valve has done a good job making a singleplayer tutorials explaining the basics. These tutorials are followed up with a series of bot matches. Dota 2 often features seasonal events that present players with interesting game modes. Dota 2 won the best MOBA at The 2015 Global Game Awards. And it hasn't lost it's fame. There are P2W games, but Dota is free-to-play. You need skill to be good, not accessories.
Dota 2 stands out because it's original. There aren't any heroes who are copied from another hero.
The community in Dota is fine. I usually get normal people in my team (75% during the time). This is not a game for the impatient. Dota heroes need to gather different set of items to be effective.
As you become familiar with the game - you will start to understand it's deeper complexities.
