- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I like shooters, but holy fuck I am terrible at them. Truly, the only genres I'm good at are 4X/grand strategy and racing.
I definitely dig strategy games!
I'm really looking forward to Millennia. That's going to be a nice new entry to the 4X genre after Humankind just straight up fell on its face.
Hol up! I fucking loved Humankind - I dunno why people hate on it. I think if you play it without expectations of playing Civ then it's a great game in it's own right. It's got some neat features and cool gameplay mechanics. It's also got a nice clean UI.
Civ may have more depth but it's on it's 6th iteration and it's UI is still a confusing mess.
Granted I didn't pay for it so maybe I'm biased!
Yeah I'd chalk this up to you getting it for free haha. I ended up dropping $40 on it, and honestly, it felt like the game was trying to be all things to all people.
I'm looking forward to Ara: History Untold, but I'm biased bc my buddy is developing their AI system.
Whoa. What?! That's actually on my Steam wishlist. Shame it's not multiplayer though...
