The best 4X games in 2024
“Strategy” is a deceptively broad category in games, but one of the most enduring formats within it is 4X games. These games are built around the four “Xs” in the name: Explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate. Sid Meier’s Civilization series is perhaps the most popular and enduring example of 4X for the past thirty years, but there are plenty of other options to check out if you feel the siren call of “one more turn” in your heart.
