Stellaris if you want a huge 4X grand strategy game.

The learning curve is steep, the gameplay engrossing and plenty of updates.

Been playing Oxygen not Included since the need DLC dropped. Been nice to play it again. Also want to get into Project Zomboid again, not graphically beautiful but full of depth and detail. Really cool zombie apocalypse game.

Doesn't have to be classic, it's just what I was revisiting because nothing recent excited me

I just finished LoTR Battle for the middle earth for example.

Played Emperor, Gothic 2, Heroes 3, Majesty. Mass effect 3.

I just downloaded God of War as well see how that goes

Xcom 2 is a really good game and a well thought out story on what if humans lost the first war.

Can't beat Red Alert 2 it has a free mod now called Mental Omega with it's own campaigns

World in Conflict still a good playthrough with it's campaign

Age of Mythology love it recently had a re-release

Not really an rpg the STALKER series are very immersive plenty of mods for them too albeit a bit grim of a setting

Classics there..depends how much you are keen on losing that physique..

I think I read that they chose to follow that story because of how few people completed the first one's campaign.

Just the original Xcom game the 90's was great, the sequel just a resting. The new Xcom game was OK but lacked the grand campaign of the original.

Grim Fandango is a slept on classic of the point and click genre.

Cult of the Lamb is pure joy to play.

I can reccomend Star Ocean: The Second Story, a JRPG which I have a massive bias for as it is my favorite game.

I've been smashing Civ 6, in preparation for civ 7. Doing the deity challenge, with every leader.

I was thinking I've played Civ since the original, when I was 18.

Elite, I started playing that as a kid, on a Commodore 64 I think.

Rpgs. I play Baldur's gate with my daughter's. I showed them Bard's tale, which is basically little more than a text based game. They were like wtf, you played this crap? Two days later they were hooked, still playing it! 😆

Gaming has advanced so much, but a lot of the games feel hollow. It's all speed running and 'achievements'. It's hard to find games that have that immersive quality that can grip you.

I think RPG peaked with WOW and then declined with it as it became more and more of a money-grab, cash cow. Now that's the standard format.

Civ is the best strategy game. You can get some amazing games online, if you find a good group of people.
