civilised 6 I can’t get on with it, the ones before no problems
these games are so childish comparing to the PC strategy games of 90s. So many great titles, like Warcraft, Startcraft, Command and Conquer, Alpha Centrauri, Age of Empire, Age of Wonders, Heroes of Might and Magic, Homeworld, Gettysburg, Myth, Black and White, Star Control. Master of Orion, Tycoon series, Sims, Xcom, Zeus, Commandos, Total Annihilation, Tropico and many others. THOSE were strategy games, now its more like mobile phone games
That frostpunk looks quality –
"Yes we did it on purpose. No, we’re not sorry."
Thanks to this line this video got a like from me before I had heard a single entry.
Stellaris fits right into this list. I am surprised it works so well on ps4 honestly. Great game with an insane amount of depth. Also, Age of Wonders: Planetfall (basically civ and xcom mixed in together).
Need to get back to xcom 2 enjoyed it alot but never finished was too hard make the wrong upgrades and it’s game over.
Might give cities skyline a try, it’s been in my library for ages now and games like farming sim. I also have Dungeons 2 that I need to play was told it was similar to dungeon keeper.
Just a strategy game that I enjoyed was Sudden Strike 4 Complete Edition got the platinum for it was rather difficult felt more like a puzzle game at times thinking of how to hit the enemy’s weak points, it plays ok on console abit difficulty to control being a PC game but you get used to it, never been a huge fan of the series was more into Command & Conquer with the base building that was my favourite, played a few of the Sudden Strike games in the past on PC but now a PlayStation gamer.
Was wondering if anyone has played Constructor HD on ps4 that was a game I loved as a kid on PC, is it as good as the original?
Gonna get hated for it I think, but my fav "strat" is the RTS segments of Brutal Legend. Absolutely loved that game and those segments were such a good boss battle to the main content.
Xcom2 is one of my top 10 games ever
Great to see some strategy coming to console with surprisingly good ports. You missed Stellaris though!
I wish I could work for access
Was a little bit of Golam slipping out at roughly the 4 min mark? " O shout up civ"?
I just beat Xcom 2 and that game was so addicting that I think I spent 40 hours give or take a few and each time I played it was like 4-12 hours at a time… 😅 Such a good game!!!
Cant beat starwars battlegrounds
Aven colony! Great game for people getting into the genre
Yes!!! Finally some love for Dragon Quest Builders!!
PlayStation acsses vs the spiffing Brit in any of these games.
Best Regards 🎮💙
Im not a big fan of strategy games but im not going to lie… you sold almost all of them to me
I’m really hoping they remaster or remake crash bash from the PS1 and or crash tag team racing from the PS2 maybe one day we’ll be able to play these with better graphics and a few more things to it like online
nice list, I’ve gotten the X COM 2 platinum, grabbed Cities Skylines while it was available on ps+ and everything else here apart from Sims 4 looks right up my alley, especially Frostpunk
Even though I love Playstation, I much prefer playing strategy games on PC cause the controls are easier. I tried the Sims 4 on PS4 and was like nope, and bought it on PC 😅
nuuuuu where’s vr gaimes
Rob, I also wish I had a road leading directly from home to work with one, or three Dr. Pepper stations on the way. 🙂
I have played all of these! I think I’ve figured out my favorite genre 😅
2:15 Is that midgar ?? 😅😅
Superb
This has to be me favorite into.. We deliberately leave off your favorite game. Yes we did it on purpose, no we are not sorry.
Sim management games play so much better on PC.
No Goat Simulator?!
Tropico 6?
Where is Goat Simulator?
Cities Skylines is an amazing city-building strategy game 👍 Highly recommend it. Theme Hospital looks really fun – must get it at some point… My backlog of unplayed games is too big at the moment. So many games, so little time 🙃🙏
Why ets2 & ats is not for console?
ok watching this put a thought into my head, so does anyone else think Dr stone would make a good strategy/simulation game, maybe something like DQ builders?
i 10 billion percent believe it would
“Look Ghandi’s launched a nuke! Classic Ghandi!” 😂
I have 8/10 jajajajajaj. Love them
Classic Gandhi 😂
No Prison Architect? He left out my favourite game!
This war of Mine!! From the creators of Frostpunk, so you can imagine… another depressing and hard strategy game. 10/10
Rob, my friend, no Sim could ever match your unbridled beauty. 😀
Is it bad that I own every one of these games 😐
add timestamp
I’m giving a shout out to PLAGUE INC.
You play as a disease and your goal is to infect the planet and kill off the ENTIRE population.
There’s various disease types (bacteria, prion, even a zombie virus!), and you have to evolve yourself so you can infect in various ways (animals, airborne, water soluble, etc). All while WHO researches for a cure to stop you. Then it’s Game over.
Might be a little ‘too real’ in current times, but I think it’s right up Rob’s alley.
Killing npc’s is one thing, but wiping out humanity? C’mon Rob, give it a go!
Divinity original sin 2 ???
If there was an Oscar for youtube-Entertainment and great Humor, Rob should have one!☝️😆
Tropico?
Me lik dinosors
Forget putting myself in XCOM 2. Right now, I have Geralt of Rivia, Deadpool, Daredevil and Buffy Summers on my squad. Phineas Welles is working in my science division and Elizabet Sobek is in engineering.
Valkyra Chronicles 4 was an amazing experience
I had to stop playing Civ games because i wasn’t doing anything else at all. I lost full days to it. 😭
