The Binding of Isaac. One of the GOATs for me.

Workers and resources. It's like cities skylines on steroids.
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 am playing Skyrim. For the second time, now in Special Edition.
I love the Fallout universe and crafting in games, so with the amazing mod community I've wasted (?) nearly 6,000 hours on Fallout 4.
I know it's arguably the weakest of Fallout 1-4 and New Vegas, but it became a refuge for me to escape from the real world into.
Neverwinter Nights, I enjoy playing some of the campaigns and modules every so often, trying out different builds.
Warcraft 3, just for the original campaigns and also the stupid amount of custom campaigns made by the community.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games 1 through 4.
A bit more than once a decade I play them on emulator and try to 100% them. Great fun. I also try to make sure to visit the locations in the real world if I'm on holiday nearby where they based a level.
It's kind of sad that the Venice Beach area hasn't existed since the 90s.
Edit: I did just realise this thread is about PC games, but I do play them on PC albeit through a PlayStation emulator. I do believe the games are available on PC.
Cassette Beasts, it's like PokΓ©mon far more different than other pokeclones, and far higher quality imo. The beast designs are great, and there's a cool fuse mechanic you can use to fuse any two Beasts, with unique art (over 16,000 possible fusions). Also the shiny-equivalent is better done and actually useful.
For basically daily consumption, definitely Paradoy Grand Strategy games for me, EU4, Vic3, CK3, HoI4, one of those almost always manages to work out.
As a game that I can endlessly revisit with short pauses in between, Disco Elysium, never fails to resonate with me.
BPM: Bullets Per Minite
Doom meets dungeon crawler meets Crypt of the Necrodancer.
Vampire Survivors I just love that game, after that Tetris.
doom
Since nobody has mentioned it, I'll throw in "X4: Foundations". The X series is janky in places but oh so satisfying if you can get past the jank. Build a military empire to take over the galaxy, or maybe a trading empire. Or maybe you want to become an industrialist and build huge stations to print money. You can be a pirate or a salvager or any combination of the above. And there are tons of interesting mods if you get sick of the vanilla game.
Love this game!
Prey. I enjoyed it more than Dishonored, it holds a real special place in my heart.
Transport Fever 2. It's like Transport Tycoon (/Deluxe) from the 90s/OpenTTD but way more beautiful and 3D.
Solitaire
I recently just played through the whole Bioshock series for the first time. Top tier games for sure, and still hold up very well.
Subnautica and Planet Crafter.
The best "just one more thing!" games I've ever found. Huge chunks of time just disappear for me and the people that I've had play it. Very rewarding.
Good ol' Skyrim. The possibilities to break the game are nigh endless.
You know there is a skyrim mods community here on lemmy? Come break the game with us!
Fallout 4 β’οΈ
Tunic
A cross between Legend of Zelda exploration and discovery with Souls-like combat. Very tight controls. Fantastic art and soundtrack.
Outer Wilds, played it once loved it so much I still get tons of enjoyment by watching others do full play throughs
What's a good playthrough you can recommend?
Fallout 2
Stellaris and Factorio
Factorio, Rimworld, Terraria. In no particular order, they're all perfect at what they do.
Titanfall 2's campaign. I don't replay a lot of games, but I've played through that one a good few times.
Outer Wilds. You can really only play it once though but itβs amazing!
Skyrim. I've probably topped 1000hours over different platforms since release
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.
Definitely Civilization in general. Thereβs 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, itβs still one of the few games Iβll preorder as soon as the next one is available.
