The Strategy Gamer's Guide to... The Best 4X Games

Any list that continues to include Civ VI and (especially) Stellaris is automatically of questionable worth.

Eh, I think Civ 6 is in a good place right now. Good enough feature back on the list, anyway. No, it's probably not better than Civ V in a general sense but it does do some things better. I'll probably end up swapping Civ V back in though at the next update

Stellaris, well, it's gone through so many changes that it's become a very divisive game. Again, I personally quite like it but I know there are those that don't and especially those that preferred how the game worked in the earlier iterations. Can't really help you there - if you genuinely think that the entire list is now invalidated by a couple of controversial picks, then I feel for you, I really do.

Which of these 4X games has the best AI? Been playing Endless Space 2 and love the feel of it in general, but the AI seems quite awful for the most part, which is disappointing. Gonna try Galactic Civilization 3 next. I???ve heard great things about GC2???s AI so I???m hoping the same is true for GC3?

Although I've not played them all, Aggressors, for me. Look it up!
