Honestly I don't get the appeal at this ranking, and I say that having put real hours into it, not just some casual dismissal from someone who never touched it, because the campaigns drag in the middle and the AI does weird things that people just excuse as charm somehow. I get that people love the civilizations and the whole building up thing but it doesn't translate into deserving a spot this high for me.

Same here, I clocked way more hours than I'd like to admit and the mid campaign slog is real, but calling the whole thing overrated feels harsh when the skirmishes alone justify half that ranking.

What keeps this one relevant is the pacing of a match itself, you build slowly and every decision compounds over the next twenty minutes. That kind of tension is rare now, most strategy games rush you into the action way too fast.

Comparé à des jeux comme Galaga ou Xevious qui allaient droit au but, celui-ci demandait qu'on s'installe pour l'après-midi. C'était pas le même rythme du tout mais on y revenait quand même.

pas le même rythme du tout, c'est vrai (et c'est justement pour ça que j'y reviens encore)

Face à Hotline Miami qui te prend à la gorge en dix minutes, celui-ci te demande une heure juste pour poser ta base. Deux mondes complètement différents, et je comprends pas qu'on les compare autant en duel.

Perso je vois pas où est l'exagération, tbh.
