VGChartz’s Paul Broussard: “This year’s shortlist for Best Strategy/Simulation Game features a small but superb list of titles. Fire Emblem: Three Houses marked the series’ return to home consoles after a 12 year hiatus, combining Fire Emblem’s staple turn-based gameplay with teaching and army customization elements. Planet Zoo, a spiritual successor to Zoo Tycoon, took the former’s design of constructing and managing habitats for wildlife and expanded it substantially. Total War: Three Kingdoms provided users with the ability to choose from a myriad of warlords and form alliances strategically while attempting to conquer China. Last, but certainly not least, Untitled Goose Game took the gaming world by storm as both a puzzle solver and an outlet for causing trouble.”
