    Just play single player games, they are much less stressful. I used to play StarCraft and Warcraft 3 when I was younger, but now I’m too slow for those games and for some reason there are no no RTS games since StarCraft 2.

      Bots are dumb, though. Bad AI really takes me out of a game, and every game has bad AI. Once I figure out their behavior patterns, the fun is completely gone for me. I prefer online gaming because human opponents are unpredictable.

      If you like Command and Conquer style RTSs, give Tempest Rising a shot. It came out last year and it feels exactly like a C&C game, but with modern graphics and QoL improvements.

        Regular enemies are weak but annoying with how they just seemingly never stop spawning.

        Bosses are annoying because they constantly teleport or become immune to damage or require some gimmick that is not at all well telegraphed.

        The system for combat is good. The balance of the enemies in said combat is fucking ridiculous and pretty close to the worst I have seen.
