What a weak year for strategy games. The usual big names like StarCraft, Civilization, and others are missing this year. There were a few great games, but they were so spread out I started to wonder if the genre died.

Battletech

Battletech wasn’t just the best PC game this year but the best strategy. It was a breath of fresh air in a genre that usually gets over-saturated with shovelware through the year. It hit all the marks that hardcore fans wanted and looked good doing it.

Runner-Ups

Frostpunk

Valkyria Chronicles 4

The Banner Saga 3

It was another slow year for PC exclusives, but strategy games made a huge comeback and it was a close call between all exclusives this year that really made an impact.

Battletech

Battletech won out due to the entire package just being fun, intense, and bringing strategy games to its roots. There is a large variety of missions, units, and fun endgame content that most others don’t have.
