Total War. I remember my dad playing Rome: Total War and Medieval: Total War and I would always play the games he would. I was used to him playing Real-Time Strategy games like StarCraft, Warcraft, and Age of Empires as well as Turn-Based Strategy games like Sid Meier's Civilization or Real-Time Tactics games like Myth II: Soulblighter.

Total War though looked a weird of combination of these genres though lol. Every time I tried to play them, I just couldn't get into them. I had never played something that was trying to be multiple genres at once and I didn't like it.

And that actually was the case for YEARS! It wasn't until Total War: Warhammer in 2016 that it finally clicked! I think it had to do with the Warhammer Fantasy setting rather than a historical setting that piqued my interest to actually try to fully understand the games mechanics, but when it did, I was hooked!
