A game I’ve been playing recently is Old World. It’s by one of the main devs of Civ III and Civ IV. It’s basically Civ but the tech tree is a little random, 1 unit per tile, you control a ruler and their family, and there’s a lot of random story moments that’ll shape the game as you play.
XCOM2, baby
Exactly my thing. I have probably 4x the play time logged from taking breaks.
“Bah, I’m gonna go mow the lawn then kill this guy” “Ok he’s dead, I’m gonna run the dishwasher. Who’s next?”
Etc etc
