I've been keeping my eye on these games but can't really decide on what to pull the trigger. Alternatively if you have a better suggestion I'm open to it as well!
I play all kinds of games but I do get bored with them if they are tedious or grindy, would prefer meaningful satisfying progression over just number increases for example.
Wasteland 3 seems tempting as a Fallout + XCOM combination but I don't know if it's gonna get as good as either because of it, and I don't wanna get bored with it half way through. I still have PF:WOTR in my backlog because it got a bit too much in later acts.
DSP / AoD:FS / CW3:AE seem like something I might like since I usually like basebuilders and city builders like factorio / against the storm / vrising / riftbreaker.
Chrono Trigger and Bloodstained are not usually my cup of tea but they seem universally loved and they could be a good chill steam deck games.
Bloodstained is an absolutely fantastic game. If you ever enjoyed any of the "Igavania" games (CastleVania games directed by Koji Igarashi, most notably Symphony of the Night), then you'll probably love Bloodstained, as it's directed by the same guy. It's a pretty straightforward CastleVania clone with a ton of secrets and lots of options for customizing your looks and weapons/abilities. The story is pretty mid, in my opinion, but the gameplay is very fun and challenging, without being frustratingly difficult.
