Factorio, Rimworld, Terraria. In no particular order, they're all perfect at what they do.

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.

The Binding of Isaac. It is too addictive

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 “feels” 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.

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

Risk of rain 2, shit's addictive when you start getting decent at it

Factorio and rimworld

Rogue Legacy 2

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

• 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.

Oxygen not included

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

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.

My go to would be Skyrim, but i actually stopped playing about a year ago. My current one would be cyberpunk but i'm waiting for the dlc and playing diablo 4 atm.

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!

Tetris.

Subnautica, I just keep going back to it it's like my comfort game.

Caves of Qud

Hitman: World of Assassination

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Sayonara Wild Hearts

Stardew Valley!

Subnautica and Enscryption :)

Two Point Hospital

It's 240 comments and no reference to Touhou?????

I play Taisei Project (FOSS bullet-hell shooter) and 3D Pinball: Space Cadet because it was #1 game in the list on Discover app.

Secret of Monkey Island.

Every so often, I play it again ( thank you, @scummvm@corteximplant.com )

Even though I know every puzzle, it's still fun 2½ decades after I played it for the first time.

I'll still install Duke Nukem 3D every couple of years to replay or to play the custom maps that were so easy to make.

OpenTTD is also great to mindlessly play while listening to podcasts.

Metal Gear Rising Revengeance

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