hitman kinda worked out w episodic content, but it's also a game that is perfectly designed for it and also didn't have microtransactions and was also really loving good. they still sold it off

hitman eps content was actually really good and matches what you expect w/blood money etc

though the levels varied a lot in quality

I don't know what it is, but NK has an aesthetic distinct from other communist countries. Does the book talk about it? Or is it just a pure art book?

Civ V did have a great interface, it's drat near Fischer-Price with all the big round colourful buttons but it all makes sense. I dunno how VI's ended up so goddamn fiddly and obtuse.

First time approaching it you don't have to!

There's automation on all kinds of things, any time society changes come up it opens the menu (see also Workshop stuff), even if you never look for it, and on piss baby moron difficulty you can win without even changing the sliders or pop booming with psych spending or knowing about crawlers etc.

It also never really became popular at the time. Civ: CtP was the one that got the sequel, I guess probably because it retained the Civ name.

SMAC had a really good 100 turn demo when it came out in '99, though, which is why a given age of computer games player knew it and all bought it for basically nothing when it came out on GOG.

idk about shenzen as i haven't been yet but it's not too bad here. you occasionally have to navigate between bikes but that's a small price to pay for always having one around when you need it
