Best PC games of 2013 - Europa Universalis IV at PCGamesN

[Regina]

"When is the last time you really lost yourself to a game? I don't mean really enjoyed it, or played a lot of it. I'm talking about that Civilization-style "how it is three in the morning already?" realization that you've just spent five hours utterly absorbed in a task, without a thought to spare for the outside world. I'm talking about the game that seems to exert an almost gravitational attraction, that is somehow launching even as you sit down in your chair, because it's location on your desktop is a part of your muscle memory now.
It doesn't happen to me very often anymore. Maturity and experience have tempered my relationship with games. I really can play just a few turns of Civ, or do just a mission or two in Assassins' Creed. But Europa Universalis demolished all my restraint. It is too good a game: a puzzle that can never be fully solved, a story that always has one more twist, a voyage with just one more leg."

Yep, it is a great game. I will leave it at that...the list must have been written, oh several months ago, at least as far as Star Citizen is concerned, it has raised over 35 million, not jut 8.
