REVIEW - Is ARA: HISTORY UNTOLD any good?

Ara: History Untold is rated PLAY IT with a 70% recommended score and Average Critic Score of 77/100 on 23 reviews.⁠
⁠
Critics Consensus: Ara: History Untold presents a visually stunning and engaging experience, offering both accessibility for newcomers and depth for 4X veterans. While innovative features like the crafting system and simultaneous turns are praised, some critics find the game's depth leads to excessive micromanagement and a grind in later stages. Additionally, AI inconsistencies and a lack of distinct cultural identities are noted. Overall, however, Ara: History Untold is a solid entry in the 4X strategy genre, but whether it's a must-play or not will depend on your tolerance for its shortcomings.

Ara: History Untold released September 24, 2024 on PC and Xbox Series X|S. The game was developed by Oxide Games and published by Xbox Game Studios.
