Kotaku: The Best Strategy Games On PC

By | April 6, 2022

Kotaku has compiled another list about the best strategy games out there. The list is full of titles, which shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, like Crusader King’s III, Total War: Shogun II and Age of Empires 2. And obviously a Civ title also made it on the list, here it is Civ5!

The Civ5 excerpt from the article:

“What more can I say? A titan in the field, it stands as not just the best Civilization game, but one of the best games ever released on the PC. Whatever your strategic cup of tea, be it war, diplomacy or exploration, Civilization V has you covered.

And yes, I know that Civilization VI is out and is very good, but I think its obsession with yields and its lesser AI means it can’t quite match the complete package of its predecessor.”
