Grand Strategy games?
Greetings to all! I've played Total War titles for years and enjoy building an empire. Now I would like to broaden my horizons and am looking for similar games that satisfy this itch.
To categorize: in TW, 99% of the time I've only played the overarching map. The battles themselves are not that important to me.
I am variable when it comes to the setting. I like Sci Fi very much, if there is something there!
Who has tips for me?

People that enjoy Shipment, Nuketown and other such maps in Call of Duty... why?
So I decided to jump into some call of duty whatever the most current one is now that it's free on game pass.
The first two matches I was spawned into were on shipment. A map that I remember being absolute trash back in the day but it still is. The third match it went to put me in dropped me into that same map as well so I quit before it finished loading. Following this it dumped me into a match in progress where my team was behind by 25 points and there was 12 kills left before it was over.
My question is, why do players seem to vote for this map over any other option most of the time? What is the fun or enjoyment that I am missing out on this box of spam? It's literally nothing but spawn killing and spawn dying.
If you are a person that enjoys these, can you legitimately explain why? I'm not trying to make a troll complaint or anything. Just genuinely interested.
Is this what the modern call of duty experience is like?

Prey 2006 or Prey or Prey 2017; which do you prefer?
Wikipedia pages for each:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey_(2017_video_game)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey_(2006_video_game)
---
It's a bit of an apples and oranges situation but considering the history I'm curious which one people prefer in a situation where you could only have one. I believe 2006 is still considered abandonware with it previously being listed on Steam but being removed when they ran out of keys.
I liked 2017's gameplay but I felt like 2006 was more memorable and unique so I think I'd choose it.

Custom Starfield Elite v2 Controller
Heya together. I was fancing the official Xbox Starfield controller but I'm so used to paddles, that I can't play with a regular controller anymore. I then stumbled upon a shell for the Elite V2 Controller. I walked the extra mile and replaced the thumbstick base for a red one and I also ordered two sets of paddles and circle pads. I'm still on the hunt for opaque trigger.
How do you like the result and what version do you prefer, the burnt metal one or the brass/ gold one?
Any advice for further improvements? I know, the backside should be red but I can't find a matching one.

Do you know any singleplayer games that are infinitely replayable?
I recently booted up Half-Life 2 to replay it. I have played the absolute shit out of this game before, so 60% of it just feels like a drag to me now. It was such an amazing game but it's sort of spoiled for me after I've played it too much.
I also discovered ULTRAKILL a few months ago. I feel like I could play that game forever. It has tons of content, weapon combinations and higher difficulties with different enemy behaviour.
Do any of you have more game suggestions like Ultrakill? A really replayable singleplayer game.
!!BTW I don't mean online multiplayer games or games similar to candy crush!!

- www.digitaltrends.com Your favorite video game doesn't need a remake | Digital Trends
The video game industry is in the midst of a remake craze, but does every classic game really need one?
Curious about y'alls opinions on this. I like the idea of getting new people to experience an older game by aligning it to modern graphics and accessibility standards. But capitalizing on nostalgia with quick updates to that make it look modern rather than making new games seems like just more of studios trying to squeeze money out of us.
