Horizon

in my opinion this is underrated. I had a lot of fun turn based space combat and 4x gameplay

A thoughtful blend of classic 4X charm and modern accessibility. Horizon doesn’t try to reinvent the galaxy—it refines it. For fans of traditional turn-based space strategy games, this title offers a slower, deliberate approach that puts exploration, diplomacy, and technological progress front and center.
