Yeah I already saw a German communist takeover somewhere that just turned the world into commies without firing a singls bullet lol

And @Vayra86 Stellaris is 4X and not grand strategy..
Neehh yes and no. Youre still using a bunch of Xes here... and quite similarly if you havent got a game plan, youre screwed. When it comes down to it it feels similar in many ways.

HoI3 had no 'eXplore', so there's no 4X here.

eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate is the 4X.

Maybe HoI3 is a 3X game, lol.

Well there is exploration in the sense of finding out what forces you are up against, for one. You can see the map but not whats actually on it unless you have intel.

Alright Halo Reach is a wrap.

If anyone here hasn't played Halo games and picks up the MCC, do not play Halo Reach first. It will ruin the rest of the series for you, even though it's story wise the first game in chronological order.

Want to try something completely different. Fired up Grim Dawn for some of that ARPG goodness and some Darksiders 3 for the hack n slash.

Both look solid, but Darksider's always brings a ton of personality to the table and I love it. Grim Dawn seems like it's going to be another Doable retread in not just gameplay but tone as well.
