So, I've spent over 2 hours on Steam searching for a nice game to play. But it's all junk, as far as I'm fed with Steam recommendations. I liked ksp~~2~~ 1, cities skylines 1, age of empires 2, baldurs gate 3 a lot, I just finished Divinity original sin 2. I like rpgs and management / factory games like workers and resources, satisfactory etc. I'm having a lot of fun with split fiction when I play with a friend, but I need a proper singplayer game. Anything I could get which isn't a total ripoff due to lack of gameplay or it being a bug simulator or dlc purchase mania?

EDIT: I'm a bit overwhelmed by all reactions. Thank you all so much! I have a lot of amazing recommendations to check out!

In 2024 almost 19.000 games were released on Steam. I have yet to find a single title from 2024 worth playing.

looks at my own Steam library, adds a shelf sorted by Release Date, looks for notable games

Satisfactory was released in 2024. It was in Early Access for some time before that. You mentioned that you liked it.

Ditto for Caves of Qud and Nova Drift, games that I've played quite a bit

2024 release following time in Early Access.

Dominions 6 is a pretty involved fantasy strategy game. I haven't played 6 much, but I've played the series a lot in the past, and each game is a pretty direct expansion of prior games. Not sure if that's up your alley, though. The game turns can get pretty long late-game, as there's a lot going on.

I liked Balatro, a roguelike deckbuilder, quite a bit.
