What are the best strategy games? Turn-based or real-time, grand strategy or tactical RPGs, there are many sub-genres among the good strategy games you can play on Steam. For example, in one game, you can command an entire fleet in space, while in another, you bark orders to soldiers fighting on a battlefield as magic flies through the air.
There are so many different strategy games out there, and we’ve got separate lists for the best turn-based strategy games and the best 4x games specifically, so we’re keeping this list as broad as possible – similar to our roster of the best building games. Join us as we explore a curated collection of the genre’s greatest hits, from newcomers to classics, giving you autonomy over your actions – and their consequences.
