    Games I like lately:

    • Space sims (Elite, Kerbal)
    • Deep car simulation (BeamNG + Automation)
    • Platformers or games with platforming (Hat in Time, Titanfall 2)

    Strategy. Emphasis on the gameplay and the creative solutions, deemphasis on the graphics.

    A particularly like card based games for their complex interactions.

    Games where at least a significant portion of it is low-key/relaxing. Thinking Breath of the Wild, Persona 5, Spiritfarer.

    I really love puzzle games! Unfortunately there aren’t a lot of them, or at least they’re really hard to find. The puzzle section on Steam is basically completely filled with horror games that I guess have some puzzle elements mixed in, hence why they’re in the puzzle section.

    Games like Portal, Stephen’s Sausage Roll, and Braid are awesome.

      I recommend a simple little game called Rush. I don’t even know what motivated me to get it some time ago, but I had fun with it even though I wouldn’t say I usually like puzzle games. It’s all of 0.22€ on sale where I’m sitting, might be worth trying.

      Patrick’s Parabox is a neat little puzzle game that became one of my favorites after I 100%ed it. It’s a bit different from the games you’ve listed here - deceptively simple, 2D box pushing type of game, but has a level of mind bending through manipulation of space that I think rivals Baba is You in terms of “what the hell, I’ve just broken physics in a way that is internally consistent but that I didn’t see coming”.

        I have Patrick’s Parabox on my Steam, been waiting to get the chance to play it. I really liked Baba is You though, so I’m looking forward to playing it

    I’ve been really into games with a good crafting system where you have to try to survive. Don’t Starve and Subnautica are the ones that have taken most of my time. I also like colony management games, like RimWorld and Oxygen Not Included

      RimWorld is al all time classic for me. When I boot it up nowadays it’s with a gargantuan modlist, over 500+ by now, and I love that the game’s core systems are good enough to support all these mods.

      The other recommendations you got are good, but add a slightly different style check out This War Of Mine. Disclaimer : it’s. Heavy topic game. You survive as a civilian in an ongoing warzone (in short). You craft you home base during the day, and either scavenge for meager supplies at night (suffering exhaustion) or sleep at night. It’s a fairly brutal game, emotional, but some people are into that stuff… A friend, yeah! Not me.

        You have my taste in games dialed in. I LOVED This War Of Mine, and I loved the expansion that added children. I liked most of the characters, but for whatever reason Marko was always my favorite, and I could not stand Bruno. Honestly, I think I’m gonna go boot that up again and get ruined emotionally by the supermarket event again.

          Thats awesome! I highly suggest visiting their discord. You’ll find lots of conversation and if you have questions it’s the best place to be

        I have not! My impression is that it’s very heavily focused on automating things, but is there also a survival component, or is it focused on tweaking supply lines and stuff?

          It is different as other poster mentioned. But it hits the same spot in the brain for me. It’s worth at least checking out

          It’s automation focused. There is survival, but in the sense of like repelling a wave of aliens coming to attack you, usually via automation.

          It’s still a pretty addicting game as you work out how to do things and laying out plans for how certain processes will look. I’d still recommend checking it out regardless.

    Competitive shooters, cs and valo mostly. I’ll automatically try to find the most optimal playstyle in any game i play, which ends up in me losing interest when it gets too easy. In PvP comp games the opponents are doing the same so it doesn’t feel like I’m cheesing my way trough. Anything with a decent ranking system is my jam, because owning noobs is fun for a while but a win feels way more rewarding when it was a hard fought back and forth.
