So I'm playing Civ 6, oddly enough. I rarely play strategy games, but I jumped into Age of Empires 2 HD for a bit and after being rubbish at it for too many hours, I gave Civ 6 a shot having never played a Civ game before. I've been playing it every hour possible since then. I started a random scenario or whatever, and it's 500 turns... which I assumed was just an upper limit, but no, the game ended at 446. I had no idea what I was doing to start with, and playing this long ass game has taught me so much for my next playthrough that I've been looking forward to starting again.
I've also been dragging my way through Assassin's Creed Origins, which I have to say is just a chore. The one thing that enabled me to enjoy any AC game is the possibility of stealthing my way to a target, taking them out with one attack, then legging it. Now they've implemented levels and more number bullshit as a way of artificially gating me from getting through the game. Then having to deal with all the stats... c'mon this is really unnecessary. Just give me some decent story missions and side quests in what is an impressive world, and let me enjoy it. I am absolutely done with AC once I get this tedious garbage out the way.
