Need opinions on games

I am thinking about buying some games that went on sale today, I am not sure, because I read the reviews and although some have positive in general, the negatives are well written and had strong arguments in it, so I want to as from people who played the following games what they think of it:

• Prison Architect: Game has been in development for ages, how often it gets updates, and does it have a roadmap or something? It seems like a good game, but I am not going to buy another alpha/beta mess (thx pixelry developers)

• RUSE: How is it in comparison with other RTS games, I am more of a Age of Mythology and Command and Conquer player, I like my RTS simple and with a nice pacing in the game, some RTS are too slow or too grindy for me.

• Rise of Nation: Another RTS, I am really unsure about it, I remember that I played it but I can't remember if I had liked it or not, but my question is about the update, is it worth or just another Microsoft scam, I bought AoM and AoE II, and I didn't enjoy the games, specially AoM which I couldn't stand it and quit, despite being one of my fav games all-time. I know that Rise of Nations aged better as it was not that old, but I'm unsure about it.

Thx for your help. As soon as I make my decision a giveaway will appears!

EDIT: Bought Prison Architect, thx for the opinions and here is the giveaway. http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/YdLEw/pixel-piracy
