I'm as excited for Civilization 7 as everyone else, but I can't help but wonder what it could be if it stepped outside the comfortable familiarity of real-world history. In Zephon, the planet as we knew it is all but dead, blasted into a nightmarish wasteland by an alien apocalypse. Rather than exploring with an intrepid gleam in your eye, this new 4X game is a desperate struggle for survival in a world where Lovecraftian horrors, unflinching automata, and ravenous beasts roam the land.
