Ara: History Untold is the game that Civ fans will be playing until Civilization VII comes out early next year. This 4X grand strategy game owes much to Sid Meier’s magnum opus and is an absolutely beautiful addition to the genre. As you get further into the game you can certainly find yourself getting bogged down though with the sheer amount of the stuff the game expects you to manage, but you have all that to look forward to. First, you need to get going and get past the first era.
