Main
Europa Universalis
It is a grand-strategy game with setting in the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern period. Its focus is nation administration.
With extension packs, some nations have their distinctive ways of playing, which makes it more realistic.
It is very complicated to play grand-strategy games. You need to spend hours, lose the game several times to get used to it. As a beginner, you'd better pick a European nation. Otherwise, you will probably be subdued by European colonisation.
Expansion packs are indispensable if you want to fully enjoy. The price of all DLC is more than 10-folds of the original game.
Victoria
It is a grand-strategy game with setting in the Late Modern period in 19th to 20th century. Its focus is society and economy.
Crusader Kings
It is a grand-strategy game with setting in the Early Middle Ages and Hign Middle Ages. Its focus is dynasty administration.
Hearts of Iron
It is a grand-strategy game with setting in World War II. Its focus is modern warfare.
Beginners can simply pick the US and export to both warring sides and get familiar with the game's mechanism with ease.
Sid Meier's Civilization
This franchise is an important example of 4X (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate) games.
You can choose a civilisation and develop it to compete with others. Each civilisation has its own leader with some unique features.
There are more than one way to victory, so you don't need to fight a war to win if you like.
What's more, there is a Civilopedia, with introductions about those civilisations. You can spend hours on it if you like.
The peak of this series is considered to be IV, V or VI.
Mount & Blade
Experience the life in the medieval period or some other periods.
Some people guessed Warband factions in real life, but in Bannerlord, it's all made clear:

Far Cry
It is an open-world FPS series. You can experience the cultures in different regions and enjoy killing fools.
The peak of this series is considered to be 2, 3 or 4.
Tomb Raider
It is an action game series. Different historical sites to explore. Solving puzzles is its merit.
The peak of this series is considered to be I, II or Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Total War
This is a RTT series. Each of its work focuses on an era. It is less and less realistic now.
The peak of this series is considered to be Shogun 2.
Age of Empires
It is one of the most successful multicultural RTS franchise. Don't expect it to be very historically accurate.
The peak of this series is considered to be II or IV.
Old World
Similar to Civilization but is different in many aspects such as dynasty.
Ancestors Legacy
It has four nations, each of which has a campaign. Rock-Scissor-Paper between units.
0 A.D.
It is free and open-source.
It is an RTS about 13 ancient civilisations. More civilisations will be available in the future, said on the official website.
Although there is an “A.D.” in the name, the civilisations in the official version are “somewhere along the timeline of 500 B.C. to 1 B.C.”
