#GrandStrategy is the closest thing to a time machine I have ever found. Games like #EuropaUniversalis, #CrusaderKings or #Victoria give me an entire world and ask: what if? What if a small dynasty conquered Europe? What if one single decision changed the course of history entirely?
You rewrite the timeline, pull on one thread, and watch everything unravel differently. Every campaign is a new alternate universe worth exploring.
And then there are titles like #DistantWorlds or #Stellaris, where the same depth applies but the sandbox is an entire galaxy. Civilisations rising, collapsing, first contact scenarios, technology trees that reshape everything.
No other genre makes consequences feel this real.
