I just read an article with this list: Detailed explanations in the full article: https://www.pcgamesn.com/best-4X-games?amp What, in your opinion, are the best 4X games on PC? Would you add or subtract any from this list?
I've played Civ VI and Alpha Centauri from that list. Civ VI is a lot of fun, almost on par with V. The new district mechanic makes for a lot of specialisation choices. The AI's a bit worse I think, prone to hating you for no real reason. Alpha Centauri is a bit weaker in the gameplay, but makes up for it in masses of atmosphere and worldbuilding, among the most well realised settings in all of gaming that I've experienced.
