For basically daily consumption, definitely Paradoy Grand Strategy games for me, EU4, Vic3, CK3, HoI4, one of those almost always manages to work out.
As a game that I can endlessly revisit with short pauses in between, Disco Elysium, never fails to resonate with me.
I love the Fallout universe and crafting in games, so with the amazing mod community I've wasted (?) nearly 6,000 hours on Fallout 4.
I know it's arguably the weakest of Fallout 1-4 and New Vegas, but it became a refuge for me to escape from the real world into.
Workers and resources. It's like cities skylines on steroids.
Portal 2
Vampire Survivors I just love that game, after that Tetris.
Since nobody has mentioned it, I'll throw in "X4: Foundations". The X series is janky in places but oh so satisfying if you can get past the jank. Build a military empire to take over the galaxy, or maybe a trading empire. Or maybe you want to become an industrialist and build huge stations to print money. You can be a pirate or a salvager or any combination of the above. And there are tons of interesting mods if you get sick of the vanilla game.
Love this game!
Outer Wilds. You can really only play it once though but itβs amazing!
DragonDarkBloodEldenSoulsBorneRing.
Transport Fever 2. It's like Transport Tycoon (/Deluxe) from the 90s/OpenTTD but way more beautiful and 3D.
Skyrim, Fallout 4 and Might & Magic VIII
Neverwinter Nights, I enjoy playing some of the campaigns and modules every so often, trying out different builds.
Warcraft 3, just for the original campaigns and also the stupid amount of custom campaigns made by the community.
The Binding of Isaac. One of the GOATs for me.
Dying Light, absolutely fantastic pakour zombie smasher with one of the best cities in gaming. Bought it originally (on a disc) many years ago and played it so much the disc died and I was inconsolable until Epic gave away the ultimate edition and I was finally able to play The Following DLC.
Now I go and look at Dying Light 2 on Steam and wish my stupid country wasn't so damn expensive, even on sale at 50% off it still costs almost as much as a brand new AAA game in the states. Regional pricing my ass, we always get stung so hard for tech down here.
Prey. I enjoyed it more than Dishonored, it holds a real special place in my heart.
doom
Fallout 4 β’οΈ
Fallout 2
Cassette Beasts, it's like PokΓ©mon far more different than other pokeclones, and far higher quality imo. The beast designs are great, and there's a cool fuse mechanic you can use to fuse any two Beasts, with unique art (over 16,000 possible fusions). Also the shiny-equivalent is better done and actually useful.
Stellaris and Factorio
Factorio, Rimworld, Terraria. In no particular order, they're all perfect at what they do.
Definitely Civilization in general. Thereβs a lot of other games I like that are completely different, but year after year I come back to the Civilization series. And even though they peaked at Civ5, itβs still one of the few games Iβll preorder as soon as the next one is available.
