If you miss games like civ you need to start looking at indie games.

  I've played some indie games. I think generally speaking they are creative, e.g: superhot, braid, etc... But I would enjoy seeing something that radically departs from known genres, or incurs into more abstract stuff.

    Dwarf fortress and Minecraft were both indie games that sort of created new genres.

  On contrary, I wanted to do that but there's tons of indie games. There's both a filtering and financial problem to exploring them enough to catch everything. Some minimal exploration might still get most of the great ones using careful attention to reviews for the filtering part. I'm not sure what the resulting cost is. Just remember when claiming that both the sheer number of indie games and the fact that many gamers can only afford a few games a year.

    That can be said for any genre.

      Indie isn't really a genre. It's a classification of small players in all genres. There's only so many AAA titles in each genre coming out from established groups. I can easily track them plus people probably know people playing them. The indie and non-indie but budget games are much higher in number. Harder to track them.
