Between Civilization 7, Kaiserpunk, Stellaris, and Commandos Origins itself, I'm still torn between which type of strategy game I like most. 4X is the biggest and bulkiest, but the longer a playthrough goes on, the more you can get lost in the micromanagement. City builders are more focused, and I'm a sucker for good road-building tools, but, by their nature, these games are limited to one type of strategy. So maybe it's the RTS - challenging but accessible, tactical but faster-paced, the return of Commandos also marks a comeback for one of the genre's best. Origins may have struggled a little so far, but if you've stayed away, the big new update could be enough to win you over.
