I looked at a bunch of the games you play, hans.  I'll be honest, your library and mine don't seem to have a lot of overlap lol.  I just don't like a lot of the type of games you do.  And it's weird for me because I seem to keep running into that.  My own kids have VERY different tastes in gaming than I do.  I have some overlap with my son but we rarely want to play the same thing.  He really likes stuff like Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, Muck, Raft, Clone Drone in the Danger Zone.  The stuff we usually play together is Battlefield or TitanFall.  My daughter primarily plays Sims.  My wife doesn't really game and only really likes mobile games that are word/matching style.

I was never good at the Halo type games and thus didn't enjoy playing them. I keep trying CS: GO but similar. I get destroyed against anyone better than the easy AI. So I gravitated to the puzzle/strategy and sim games. I mean I still play a lot of old school arcade games and NES/GBA stuff but I only recently started back into the PC gaming. I played a ton of the Tomb Raider stuff before but I think that falls more into the puzzle thing than something like Doom.

I also tend to like the RPG style stuff and oddly actually got sucked into some Pokemon on my 2DS last year. Never thought that would happen.

Oh, and I forgot about Golf games. Love those. Tiger Woods, Hot Shots Golf etc. Need to find one of those on Steam.

SteamWorld Dig 1& 2 should also get mentioned. I'm not sure how good on the replay value they are, but they do take a bit of time to work through.

I've never played a golf game on PC.  Might have to give that a try.  I like that on the Wii although it's pretty basic on that.  I'm not a fan of RPG games.  Not sure what it is but I can't get into them and I tried.  Multiple times.

Guess who scored a 3060ti at his Microcenter this afternoon? Whoop, whoop. I finally have a full proper PC gaming setup.

[ober]

Nice!  That was my planned card when I was building but it was only $50 more for the 3070 when I went pre-built.

[Mike]

Let's see, doing just "recent" games that I've put a significant time into

Final Fantasy 14 (MMO)
Valheim
Fallout 4
Hydroneer
No Man's Sky
Kerbal Space Program
Factorio
Banished
Craft the World
Skyrim
Witcher 3

The Terra Nil demo was interesting so I look forward to the game once it comes out.

[ober]

Yeah... the only thing in that list that's interesting to me is Factorio, and only because my boss showed me the world he's built with his cousin, which is huge and insane.

[Mike]

Looking at your list (which is crap ) I would suggest looking at the Sniper Elite series.  Fun sniping game set in WW 2 (so you get to kill Nazis).  It just isn't in my recent list.

[ober]

I think my son had one in that series that he got free with PS Plus.  Seemed ok.  Maybe I'll check it out.
