 Civilization IV

 

Divide and conquer is a key skill for anyone rising to the top of an organization. You need to build alliances, crush your enemies and sometimes turn on an ally. Civilization IV is the best title in the genre-defining Civilization series. Designed by legendary Sid Meier, your goal is to conquer the world.

You start in the Stone Age and end up building rocket ships. Using a mix of war-mongering, diplomacy and science – all while keeping your population fed and happy. Similar: Age of Empires and Rome: Total War

Subnautica

 

Gone are the days where managers ran ultra-marathons to prove their toughness and will to succeed. Subnautica takes resilience to a new level. You find yourself stranded on an isolated planet with a crashed spaceship.

From catching fish to survive to harvesting resources, researching why you crashed and eventually building a rescue vessel, Subnautica tests the grit of every top executive, submersed in an absolute fascinating underwater world.
