Strategy games are usually a PC mainstay and end up being killer apps on that platform. As technology, improved strategy games, both real-time and turn-based, leaked out onto consoles more with some memorable games and even some of the best in the genre’s history.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Fire Emblem’s continuous streak of top-quality games is refreshing. In a genre that has been mainly dominated by PC games, it’s nice to see a console game make a break. Fire Emblem has a fantastic story along with some incredibly deep turn-based strategy that isn’t topped by many others.
