I love your videos Orbital! I also agree. Thronefall was soooo good.

[legionoftheonyxtower]

[anemonana]

Your work is highly appreciated by this old nerd., thank you.

I really enjoyed all of the videos, I added many games to my wishlist and also already bought some, even though I rarely play strategy games normally ❤ I just wished you would have one video specifically for multiplayer strategy games, I feel like they are hard to find, especially those were you work together and not against each other, and it would be a great motivation to try more games, since I have multiple friends who would like to try strategy, but not alone 😅

[zainroshaan]

happy new year bro may u have an amazing year amazing video tho

[PauperJ]

The greatest strategy game of this year, and every year, is Workers and Resources, Comrade Dictator Potato.

[SpeedRacerX]

What a great video to showcase the 10 best Strategy Games of 2023! Is there any chance you could do a tips and tricks / walkthrough video tutorial on InfraSpace someday?

[ScruffyMisguidedAndBlue]

Mind Over Magic is absolutely NOT Oxygen Not Included. It is a colony game that shares the same publisher (not developer), but that is where the similarities end. Am sure it is a good game, but ONI is completely unique in gaming.

Do you have any lists that do not contain early access games? I've found it to be a disservice to the experience to play early access games as once they fully release I rarely return to them as I already played 80% of the content.

[lordoffake]

what's the game in the intro at 0:15 ?

[kearseymorton]

great list
i also enjoyed Plan B Terraform, came out early this year
and The Last Starship, in early early access, from the same people who made Prison Architect

[KamalaChameleon]

You are so my kind of channel.. I wish Aliens Dark Descent got more love than it did though 😢

[theeraphatsunthornwit]

Gnorp is pretty fun. Expected to fin8sh it in 4 days.

[nathanielblairofkew]

throne fall looks good. I might check it out

[felix_xb]

2:50 Odd, all the builders I know have that, but I mostly only play the classics. Guess the art of your cities trading with each other is a long lost art now and people are "reinventing" it.

[Jules_Diplopia]

Hmmm. I still watch your videos, now and again, but it seems like my mojo has drifted away from the kind of games that you like. I have become much more choosey about what I spend my time and money on.

[ecchiRhino]

I start getting into this genre with Against the Storm and Satisfactory(got updated recently) both I consider to Masterclass games, satisfactory only rival by Factorio on my opinion.
Also Nova lands came out this year, it had some flaws but it was fun relatively short Automation game.
it seem like the genre is evolving into something grand😊

[vegsquat]

Great video. Sad part is we can see here that the pure RTS genre is kinda dead.

[DerrickBommarito]

I swear people are misreading the gnorp apologue on purpose at this point.

[DerFreiegedanke]

Would be even better if you would add any form of critique to your presentation. Or why each game rank the place it has. It implies that some are worse than others.
