Best History Games to Play Right Now
Historical games usually touch upon a specific period in human history, either fully retelling it, allowing the gamer to participate in it, or embellishing events by adding new faces or certain details.
Usually, the matter concerns military conflicts, and it is not particularly important how long ago it was: both the Middle Ages and World War II, as well as the Three Kingdoms period in China (which is almost always embellished) are covered.
Historical games can be shooters, strategies, or RPGs: it all depends on how much "power" the developers want to give the player and how much they can change.
This list includes all historical games, regardless of the release year, genre, and gameplay features.
