AI War 2 is a "grand strategy/RTS hybrid", involving fighting back against an AI that's taken over a galaxy.

Reading other reviews of the game, it certainly sounds like a game that I'd like, but they don't reflect my experience of the game.

Over time I've concluded that I'm not really wired for this kind of RTS game. They very quickly become overwhelming, which I think is an aspect of #AuDHD. There are so many different moving parts to try and follow, and I tend to hyperfocus on one aspect, which doesn't work terribly well in a lot of RTS games.

In this case I found the tutorials overwhelming. There was so much to keep track of, and so much going on, that I started to feel stressed out.

In the tutorial.

From a design and execution point of view, AI War 2 seems like a really good game, however from the point of view of whether or not I'd enjoy playing it?
