exactly what i was going to ask. Uh, when was the last good strategy game? Looking at my steam library...

I have 2000+ hours in factory games, Factorio, Satisfactory, Dyson Sphere... not really strategy but those are solid thought based games released <10 years ago

Then.... Age of Empires 4? Civ 6? Both pale in comparison to their predecessors. Cities Skylines 1... but then there's the whole thing about 2. Star Trek Infinite was a flop and from what I read was just a horrible bland game. Serious, what has come out by big studios in the last 5 years in terms of strategy? I see more flashy graphics than strategy in these recent games.

Victoria 3 is the only one I can think of, but the reception is lack luster. Maybe I'll pick it up I'm 5 DLCs

I really like Victoria 3, it has its issues but I don't mind them that much. I find much of the criticism is from ppl. who played Victoria 2.

In terms of other new games there is humankind which is similar to the Civ series. It has some great new concepts but some weirdness that I for unknown reasons can't move past.

Yeah I quite enjoy vicky 3, my main issue with it is that there always seem every play through seems to have a bug pop up and break the immersion
