Stellaris and Factorio

Definitely Civilization in general. There’s 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, it’s still one of the few games I’ll preorder as soon as the next one is available.

Modded Minecraft. So many good mod packs available.

Total War Warhammer games. I keep starting new campaigns to play all the races and subfactions.

I love to start a new round of Civ 6 or a create a new city in City Skylines, because i learned so much from my previous mistakes and this time i will create a perfect civ/city... only to make super stupid mistakes nonetheless and fail miserably. It's still great fun though.

Ultima and Wing Commander, I know I'm showing my age but I guess it's the nostalgia. I still go back and play through them.

Freelancer was so good as well!

Rogue Legacy 2

If you enjoy platformers and roguelikes, you'll like this.

Heroes of might and magic 3. What a gem! With the HD mod and Horn of the Abyss fanmade expansion (with a new town YARRR!), it's never dull.

I can't wait for the next update of HotA with a second town.

  • Skyrim. Curse you, Todd!
  • Dwarf Fortress (still on the old v0.47)

I've also recently began playing Spacebourne 2. It's janky and unpolished as fuck, but it's proving really interesting thus far. Considering it's done by a single dude, it's a miracle it even works.

The Sims 2. I’ve played a fair amount of all four Sims games including their mobile editions, and Sims 2 remains my favorite after a near (yeeesh) 20 years.

The modding community is still relatively robust, especially for a game that’s so old and out of the four, I feel like I can enjoy even the basic gameplay as a storyteller in Sims 2 more than in 3 or 4. In Sims 3, the focus was less on playing multiple families, so it had to be modded right out of the gate to get back to its foundation and I never liked the way the sims looked. Sims 4 β€œfeels” a lot more like Sims 2, which a lot of people hated, but its expansion and content packs are a complete joke. It costs like $2K to have everything, and they’re still releasing packs. I know it’s just the state of gaming these days, but it just sucks the fun out of a lot of the game.

Half the fun these days, though, is just getting the game up and running on modern PCs. I installed a new hard drive a few months ago and it took the better part of a weekend to get the game fully installed and running. I do have Ultimate Collection, but the less time I have to spend in that stupid EA app, the better.

I still play Civilization III. Nothing wrong with 20 year old games.

Kenshi! Getting your ass beat by slavers again and again has never been so fun!

I’m gonna add Space Haven to the list. Still early access but I can’t stop. Been playing it on and off for the last year, 200 hours!

It's not really a single single player game, more a set of specific genres: "Ubisoft open world", "Immersive sim" (especially Arkanes), "Bethesda RPG" (Even 76 which ye cna play pretty much solo), "Walking Sim" (a genre I fell in love with this past year)

Quake (1996). Still playing it more than 25 years later :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Another vote for Vampire Survivors. It feels like a game that has given the developer so much joy to make.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Dwarf Fortress and Minecraft. I don't play the latter online at all.

Stardew Valley!

Ring of Pain. It's a creepy dungeon crawler roguelite. I don't know why, I've seen everything the game has to offer and somehow I keep coming back to it.
