Tier List:
🔥 S-Tier (Best of the Best)

Age of Empires IV – Most complete, actively supported, and widely respected modern RTS

Tempest Rising – Best modern C&C-style RTS, strongest “classic RTS revival”

Beyond All Reason (BAR) – Insane value (free), massive-scale battles, hardcore RTS fans love it

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition – Timeless, huge player base, still evolving

StarCraft: Remastered – Still the gold standard for competitive RTS design

⭐ A-Tier (Excellent, Highly Recommended)

Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak – One of the best RTS campaigns ever made

Supreme Commander – Still unmatched in large-scale RTS design

Company of Heroes 3 – Strong tactical RTS despite a rough launch

WARNO – Deep, realistic, hardcore modern warfare RTS

Command & Conquer Remastered Collection – Classics reborn, pure nostalgia done right

🟢 B-Tier (Very Good, But More Niche)

Age of Mythology: Retold – Solid remake with strong nostalgia appeal

Gates of Hell: Ostfront – Hardcore WWII RTS, amazing for the right audience

Ashes of the Singularity – SupCom-style RTS with great scale, smaller audience

Company of Heroes 1 & 2 – Still excellent, but showing age

Sins of a Solar Empire 2 – Fun RTS/4X hybrid, still maturing
