Ara: History Untold is currently 50% off on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2021880/Ara_History_Untold/
It is unfortunate that Ara seems to have flown under the radar for a lot of people, but it's a good game, and there has never been a better time to check it out than now. It was recently updated, and is still continually supported with substantial free content updates. It currently sits at 67% positive reviews on Steam, and the score is trending upwards, with recent reviews at 86%. It approaches the same concepts as Civilization games in an interestingly different way, and mixes in some city building elements like production chains. There's a learning curve, and there's a bit too much to manage towards the end, but this has been improved since launch, and is likely to continue to improve. It is also, in my opinion, freaking beautiful, with loads of interesting details to look at as you zoom in, rotate and tilt the camera.
