Civilization VI

Firaxis' 2016 4X masterpiece shattered conventions with district placement, turning city planning into a spatial puzzle that rewards foresight and adaptation. With the Gathering Storm expansion adding climate change mechanics affecting coastal cities and global temperatures, it became the most feature-complete Civilization ever—boasting 50+ civilizations and 20+ scenarios. This depth is why "one more turn" has destroyed millions of sleep schedules, and why it offers 40% more strategic layers than #1 StarCraft: Brood War, which focuses solely on real-time combat.
