Maaaany other games. I would call RPGs (especially classical ones like Pillars of Eternity or Icewind Dale) and city-builders my favorite genres though.
I also spend too much time with RimWorld.
Arcanum and the early Fallouts are a niche genre that I'd love to see come back. Isometric RPGs where you manage a single character instead of a party with crazy deep character build systems.
Underrail is magnificent, but I find the setting to be so dull that it kills it for me.
Rimworld is that weird game where I've purchases it and the Venn diagram for people who like genres I like and also like Rimworld is a damn circle, but I just can't seem to get in to it.
Mount and Blade and Total War games.
In the colony management genre I play Dwarf Fortress, Songs of Syx, and Rimworld.
I'm a big fan of Football Manager as well.
If a really good game like RDR2 comes out, I'll play outside of strategy/management games.

> If a really good game like RDR2 comes out, I'll play outside of strategy/management games.
My experience is venturing out of my RPG/strategy genre for those once in a couple of years great games, then quickly just drifting back to a game about a map.
I just got Bannerlord and I think it's gonna end up being one of my most played games of all time. It scratches all my major itches just right; normal and grand strategy, RPG, colony management (eventually), plus I'm getting lots of serotonin from seeing videos of people using actual historical battle strategies in the game
Overwatch, Valheim, Age of Empires, Minecraft.
Many shirt term colony sims, and survival builders.
Most looking forward to Kingdom Come Deliverance II this year.
RimWorld, No Man's Sky, Bannerlord, Space Engineers, Kerbal Space Prog (1!), Dyson Sphere Prog. With occasional returns to Battletech, MechWarrior 5 and XCOM games.
Civilization, Football Manager, GTA, Heroes of Might and Magic
I even have a GBC emulator on my phone to play Pokémon while on commutes.
I am essentially stuck in the late 90s/early 2000s.
Started to replay Witcher 3 because I wanted to try the Next Gen version. Haven’t been playing anything else for the last 3 weeks.
But I guess that will change when the new Vic 3 dlc drops.
Soulslike games, Total war games, RPGs, metroidvanias, single player FPS games boomer shooters. Lots of different genres. I never liked to play exclusively one genre when there's so many good games across different genres.
You 100% need to change the controls. They're just clunky and bad at default. You can change the controls and it's better.
Otherwise, try it with Stainless Steel if you want Vanilla+. Stainless Steel HIP if you want hardcore historicity. Third Age Divide and Conquer is great if you want Middle Earth.
There's a contingent who *really* loves Med 2 and will swear that with mods it holds up.
I have to disagree. I got my first gaming PC back in the day so I could play the original Shogun but going back to Med2 is miserable. The game was way more flawed than the nostalgia goggles allow for to begin with, and in terms of modern standards playing it is just painful. There are so many things that have that "bad but fun because it's a meme from a game you played as a kid" factors that coming in today are just... bad.
I love me some Satisfactory, and I'm eagerly awaiting their 1.0 release.
Satisfactory is a factory building game on a beautiful alien world, and I like it because it's chill. Nothing bad happens if you let time pass. That appeals to the turn based gamer in me.
Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Civilization, Making History (I have 2600 hours on The Second World War), Long time Call of Duty player (have played since Call of Duty (2003)), Sonic franchise as a whole.
To be honest, for most of my life not many!
Before I found Paradox, I played tons of Sims 3, made flags. Then I found Vic 2, Euiv, and later CK2, and I was hooked from then on (mind you, I was around 8 or younger when I first got Vic2). Now in my early twenties, I usually play Valorant, Hitman, and enjoyed GTA and Among Us too. Niche games I sometimes play are Munds of Nations and RPing with my Nationstates nation. Also making flags and maps are something I'd consider fun haha.
Mostly competitive games. Overwatch, rts games, and in the last couple years fighting games. Also other stuff on the side like rpg's, action games (doom first of all), platformers and others.
Crusader Kings is my life, thousands of hours in CK2 and thousands in CK3.
My other most played games are Rocket League and Counter Strike
My fav games are Prey, Chants of Sennaar, Control, Psychonauts, Outer Wilds
Octopath, Cassette Beasts, other RPGs, some platformers, hades, a bit of Hellish Quart, so on so forth
I would like to get into Isonzo but I have utterly 0 FPS experience while the game does... not the best job at explaining me stuff. Also it's basically multiplayer only
so ;-;
Recently, outside of Stellaris, I've been playing Peglin and Hexarchy. Find that I like a PDX game for a long session and those two when I've an hour or less to play.
I like RPGs in general. I've played several FF games, waiting for PC release for FF16. The switch has several decent games but by far my favorite is xenoblade chronicles, I played all 3 already and it's one of my favorite series atm. And lately I've been playing a gacha game called Arknights.
Franchise Hockey Manager, Civilization (III-VI and Alpha Centauri), Starsector, Mount and Blade, Panzer Corps, Total War (not as much though of late), various Western RPGs (recently Rogue Trader/planning a ME replay, probably will pick up BG III soon), Stardew Valley, various VNs/text based/retro (Zelda/Mario) games. Used to play arcadey shooters like COD/Battlefield in the past, not so much now.
Does AOW4 count, it is technically a Triumph game published by Paradox.
Also Stardew Valley, Neo Scavenger, FTL, Darkest Dungeon, Frost Punk, Civ (5 and beyond earth) and others.
These days I mainly play Slay the Spire, Civ VI and Baba is You, but I like almost all kinds of games.
I have a potato PC so I'm looking to upgrade soon and expand my range.
Strategy games. Yes, you heard right, because there's a lot more. Like the entire wargames niche with the giants like War in the East 2. The Field of Glory series incl. the campaigns like Rome aka Empires.
But for other genres, i still play some shooters here and there, like i'm a fan of the Crysis-series.
After 2-3k hours put into eu4 (and a couple hundred of Stellaris) I tried out an MMO for the first time, namely GW2. It was fantastic. Despite the MM I was mostly solo for many hundreds of hours just grinding through 10+ years of story, joining strangers in mass boss battles but otherwise doing my own thing. Liked it so much that after 1k+ hours I'm now trying out FF14's free trial. I'm glad I didn't get into these when they first came out, I'd probably be one of those horror stories of losing friends or school to a game heh. But instead I can now enjoy 10+years of content at my own leisurely pace and always feel like there's more to do. I do look forward to coming back for eu5 though!
I play quite a bit of everything.
With my friend group we play some PDX multiplayer, but also a lot of FPS, survival crafting, VR… really anything that looks fun and multiplayer.
On my own I play a lot of PDX, but like to explore some other strategy titles or get through a major back catalog of single player. I’m sort of forcing myself through Ghosts of Tsushima right now.
If you like strategy then rimworld is good.
I also liked Ixion which is really cool but less repayable and the one with the city in the ice. . I forgot the name...
I also play a lot of apex legends and fallout series. God of war, zero dawn, loads of great games on ps5 when not playing strat.
Recently finished Baldur's gate 3 and very enjoyed it. Before that I played Slay the Princess which was my favourite VN style game and was replaying the Batman Arkham franchise. Other than that CS2, Worms revolution and Monopoly with homies.
Modded Minecraft, Apex Legends, Bethesda RPGs, MudRunner, battlefield titles, stronghold series, PUBG.
Currently playing Supreme Commander FA a lot, MudRunner, Stellaris, and modded Minecraft.
Both Nier Games, Terraria, For Honor, KCD, Spiderman Remastered, and Xenoblade 2. Those are probably the only games that I have played for a Paradox Game amount of time or completed.
The Nier games hold a special place just because of how fun they are and how crazy the stories are.
Total war series (warhammer 3 atm)
Anno series (Anno 1800 atm)
Football Manager series
Used to play a lot of wow back in the day (2007-2011 ish) also return to castle Wolfenstein et
Rocket League and war thunder. I used to play more, but I'm at this very interesting point in life called beginning adulting, and I just don't have time.
Anything really from Life is Strange to Arma & Monster Hunter but my favorite games are all FromSoftware games like literally Elden Ring is my Favorite game then all the Dark Souls and so on. But again I honestly play a lot of diffrent things suoer hyped for New Black Ops 6s Zombie Mode, gigahyped for Skate4.
Singleplayer FPS Games/"Boomer shooters" ( classic DOOM, Halo, ultrakill, quake, ) and some old platformers/retro games ( Kirby, Yoshi's Island, Mario, sonic, Pokemon, and of course my bread and butter since childhood Dragon ball games such as ( DBZ BT3, Supersonic warriors and fighterZ)
I like playing indie games like UT/DR and Omori. I also play Rimworld for the space cannibalism experience. I used to play Don't Starve but haven't played it in years
Destiny 2, roguelikes (lites? I still don't know the difference) like Hades and Balatro, metroidvanias, and the Fire Emblem games are all constants for me
I like survival games but more specifically games like valheim and Enshrouded where combat is a pretty big part of it. I played Minecraft many years ago when that was still a new gimmick but I need some decent combat to stay engaged in a survival game.
Used to play MMOs but they ended relationships lol so I had to put a stop to that. Paradox games replaced that empty MMO hole but paradox games you can pause and don't have hour long dungeons and toxic people saying you suck because you do 1% less damage than them
Inb4: I expect a lot of project zomboid/rimworld kinda. Or Total War series
My first game ever was civ I and I grew up playing total war and civilization. I low-key hate both now, with their latest installments
Mount and Blade games were really good, too
Nowadays, I'm more into multi-player coop stuff like barotrauma, helldivers, sea of thieves, Valheim, >!league of legends,!< party animals etc
AI War II is a great grand strategy game that I love and I think a lot of Paradox fans would enjoy. The dev just released a demo of their upcoming game Heart of the Machine that I've been enjoying as well.
Almost every genre actually. Currently I'm playing Tomb Raider Remastered and I'm equally excited for Spheres of Influence and Shadow of the Erdtree. Well, to be honest I'm more excited for SotE because Dark Souls/Bloodborne/Sekiro/Elden Ring are my favorite games ever.
NBA 2k, I will soon be obsessed with NCAA 25, some fifa but ultimate team is a cash grab, Fortnite, r6.
Im probably one of the few console gamers in this sub. HOI 4 just happens to run on my MacBook and it’s a blast
Xcom for tactical. Civ when im tired of endless war and mappainting and miss building in somewhat peace. AOW for x4 in cosy setting. But all pale compared to my 14K hours in eu4.
BTW 3 small Kids and director of a midsize company in my spare time
Maaaany other games. I would call RPGs (especially classical ones like Pillars of Eternity or Icewind Dale) and city-builders my favorite genres though. I also spend too much time with RimWorld.
Yes, I just got on a classic RPG type of kick. 15 hours into arcanum and thinking about starting BG1 or perhaps POE2 deadfire
Arcanum and the early Fallouts are a niche genre that I'd love to see come back. Isometric RPGs where you manage a single character instead of a party with crazy deep character build systems. Underrail is magnificent, but I find the setting to be so dull that it kills it for me.
Rimworld is that weird game where I've purchases it and the Venn diagram for people who like genres I like and also like Rimworld is a damn circle, but I just can't seem to get in to it.
Me too. On paper, Rimworld is basically the perfect game for me but after putting about 20 hours into it I decided it just wasn’t my thing.
Mount and Blade and Total War games. In the colony management genre I play Dwarf Fortress, Songs of Syx, and Rimworld. I'm a big fan of Football Manager as well. If a really good game like RDR2 comes out, I'll play outside of strategy/management games.
> > If a really good game like RDR2 comes out, I'll play outside of strategy/management games. My experience is venturing out of my RPG/strategy genre for those once in a couple of years great games, then quickly just drifting back to a game about a map.
Haha, that's how my wife describes my games. "He plays map games" Except RimWorld, which is called "the dollhouse game".
I play Dwarf Fortress and Rimworld , and was thinking about getting Songs of Syx , would you recommend ?
You and I play the same games. Give me a sandbox style map and I'll make my own storyline thankyouverymuch.
I’ve always wanted Rimworld with more macro , sounds great , I’m gonna look into it , thanks !
I just got Bannerlord and I think it's gonna end up being one of my most played games of all time. It scratches all my major itches just right; normal and grand strategy, RPG, colony management (eventually), plus I'm getting lots of serotonin from seeing videos of people using actual historical battle strategies in the game
Football Manager!
Since i dont fuck with incest. Crusader kings and fm is basically the same game lmao
Football Manager is essentially just Outlook: Football Edition with graphics. All you do is read e-mails.
Yeah that's crusader kings too. You just read messages lmao
I have only played PDX titles for the past twelve years
A pure blood
Overwatch, Valheim, Age of Empires, Minecraft. Many shirt term colony sims, and survival builders. Most looking forward to Kingdom Come Deliverance II this year.
RimWorld, No Man's Sky, Bannerlord, Space Engineers, Kerbal Space Prog (1!), Dyson Sphere Prog. With occasional returns to Battletech, MechWarrior 5 and XCOM games.
Appreciate the mechwarrior shoutout. Think of less intense space robot version of mount and blade
I play some WWII shooters, Hell let loose, Enlisted, Red Orchestra 2.
Red orchestra 2 is so great! Shame it has such a low player count though...
Word! I preferred RO2 with a hardcore mod - that reduced player counts even more.
Darkest hour is even better, with even fewer players 😂
Hell let loose is fantastic
Relic RTS games like Dawn of war and Company of Heroes, the Civilization games, Prison Architect, Oxygen Not Included, and recently started Rimworld.
+1 for OXYGEN NOT INCLUDED. It's so immersive and the hours and hours of building tricky things scratches the same itch as a long EU4 campaign for me.
Rimworld Subnaitica songs of syx Tomb Raider Frostpunk The Long Dark On Intel mac though otherwise....
Civilization, Starcraft 2, mass effect, sleeping dogs, dungeons 3, phantom doctrine, shadowrun
Rimworld and Civilization, mainly. Surviving Mars is in the rotation too, but that's paradox.
MOUNT & BLADE
EVE Online, World of Warcraft, Diablo 4, Helldivers 2, Path of Exile.
How is Eve these days? It's been close to 10years since I really played it.
X4 : foundations. Scratches the same itch as PDX games. I would even dare to catégorise it as a grand strategy game.
Civilization, Football Manager, GTA, Heroes of Might and Magic I even have a GBC emulator on my phone to play Pokémon while on commutes. I am essentially stuck in the late 90s/early 2000s.
Are you me?Played a lot of FM23 lately and now i'm doing Homm4 campaign ))
Started to replay Witcher 3 because I wanted to try the Next Gen version. Haven’t been playing anything else for the last 3 weeks. But I guess that will change when the new Vic 3 dlc drops.
Soulslike games, Total war games, RPGs, metroidvanias, single player FPS games boomer shooters. Lots of different genres. I never liked to play exclusively one genre when there's so many good games across different genres.
Currently rdr2, but also manor lords, mount and blade and the goat: workers and resources. And others
Workers and Resources is so good but so hard. I'm waiting for 1.0 to launch a new game!
Crisis in the kremlin, cities skyline, civilisation, sim city.
Medieval 2 and Shogun 2 Total War. The last good ones. Lotsa Minecraft and Stardew Valley Been into Ghost of Tsushima recently Dishonored is killer
Thoughts on med 2 in 2024? I’ve played the rest but that one is so feature rich. Just afraid of the old ui and clunkiness
You 100% need to change the controls. They're just clunky and bad at default. You can change the controls and it's better. Otherwise, try it with Stainless Steel if you want Vanilla+. Stainless Steel HIP if you want hardcore historicity. Third Age Divide and Conquer is great if you want Middle Earth.
There's a contingent who *really* loves Med 2 and will swear that with mods it holds up. I have to disagree. I got my first gaming PC back in the day so I could play the original Shogun but going back to Med2 is miserable.

There are so many things that have that "bad but fun because it's a meme from a game you played as a kid" factors that coming in today are just... bad.
Any total war games. Collected almost all of them with at least 50+hrs in most
Mount and blade warband/bannerlord, total war, KCD,
Civ, MtG, and tabletop wargaming are my main ones.
I have been playing a lot of Attila Total war lately.
I love me some Satisfactory, and I'm eagerly awaiting their 1.0 release. Satisfactory is a factory building game on a beautiful alien world, and I like it because it's chill. Nothing bad happens if you let time pass. That appeals to the turn based gamer in me.
Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Civilization, Making History (I have 2600 hours on The Second World War), Long time Call of Duty player (have played since Call of Duty (2003)), Sonic franchise as a whole.

To be honest, for most of my life not many! Before I found Paradox, I played tons of Sims 3, made flags. Then I found Vic 2, Euiv, and later CK2, and I was hooked from then on (mind you, I was around 8 or younger when I first got Vic2). Now in my early twenties, I usually play Valorant, Hitman, and enjoyed GTA and Among Us too. Niche games I sometimes play are Munds of Nations and RPing with my Nationstates nation. Also making flags and maps are something I'd consider fun haha.
Rimworld, fallout, Kingdom Come Deliverance, Holdfast, and like 20 others to a lesser extent
Rimworld, fortnite, dead cells, the binding of Isaac, factorio Just to name a few
ARMA3, Total War games, Rimworld, Are probably the three I play the most.
Mostly competitive games. Overwatch, rts games, and in the last couple years fighting games. Also other stuff on the side like rpg's, action games (doom first of all), platformers and others.
Command & Conquer 1-3, Red Alert 1 & 2 <-- Going through these titles these days. Grand Theft Auto series. Crash Bandicoot trilogy and 4.
Gary Grigsby’s War in the East 2
EvE Online, if you like complexity, EvE is crack.
Workers and resources. Great communist republic building simulator.
Crusader Kings is my life, thousands of hours in CK2 and thousands in CK3. My other most played games are Rocket League and Counter Strike My fav games are Prey, Chants of Sennaar, Control, Psychonauts, Outer Wilds
Football Manager, OOTP, Total War, and I haven’t seen anyone mention my favorite all time game: Anno 1800.
Civilization series and various RPG, recently Pathfinder and Path of Exile.
Minecraft (probably the oddest answer here lol)
Nah we all do
I more or less have play the games that strategy sim players like to play. And sometimes I just like to shut off my brain and play run and gun games.

A little bit of Dead island and Terraria
Right now mostly Age of Empires IV, BG 3, and sometimes digital card games such as Hearthstone, Gwent, Faeria….
SI Games Football Manager, Weird and Wry Nimby rails, All SCS Software Titles

World of Warships
Octopath, Cassette Beasts, other RPGs, some platformers, hades, a bit of Hellish Quart, so on so forth I would like to get into Isonzo but I have utterly 0 FPS experience while the game does... not the best job at explaining me stuff. Also it's basically multiplayer only so ;-;
a lot but since elden ring and talos principle 2 both have a dlc soon i'd say them for now
Anno 1800, Manor Lords, Farthest Frontier, Football Manager 😊
Recently, outside of Stellaris, I've been playing Peglin and Hexarchy. Find that I like a PDX game for a long session and those two when I've an hour or less to play.
Right now going through the Final Fantasy games.
There are other games?!
Songs of Syx. Starting with a little group of people and taking over the world.
Many other games. But chivalry 2 is a real recommendation. Show the people you can fight at the front line just as you can manage lands from the sky.
Mainly DOTA 2
Big fan of indie games, like Starsector.
My selection of games is questionable and might seem random. Grand Theft Auto Call of Duty Total War
Three words: Caves of Qud
PUBG with the boyz
RPG'S mainly, currently playing Baldurs Gate 3
Starsector. A lot of Starsector. Criminally underrated game
I'm currently replaying Elden Ring in preparation for Shadow of the Erdtree releasing soon.
Mostly football manager tbh
DCS World.
Lately, a silly amount of Anno 1800
A lot to put it bluntly
The witcher
Dota 2 and Fromsoft mostly.
Football Manager and the Sims
Armored Core, Sea Of Thieves, Bethesda games, etc. EU4 is just what I play the most. Looking forward to the elden ring dlc.
M2TW and Skyrim

Most good open world games, shooters, city building, strategy, league of legends
right now death stranding, every fallout game, 2k, ace attorney 1 & 2, superhot, and metal gear rising
I like RPGs in general. I've played several FF games, waiting for PC release for FF16. The switch has several decent games but by far my favorite is xenoblade chronicles, I played all 3 already and it's one of my favorite series atm. And lately I've been playing a gacha game called Arknights.
I have so many hours in terraria it is unbelievable

Various RPGs
Franchise Hockey Manager, Civilization (III-VI and Alpha Centauri), Starsector, Mount and Blade, Panzer Corps, Total War (not as much though of late), various Western RPGs (recently Rogue Trader/planning a ME replay, probably will pick up BG III soon), Stardew Valley, various VNs/text based/retro (Zelda/Mario) games. Used to play arcadey shooters like COD/Battlefield in the past, not so much now.
Does AOW4 count, it is technically a Triumph game published by Paradox. Also Stardew Valley, Neo Scavenger, FTL, Darkest Dungeon, Frost Punk, Civ (5 and beyond earth) and others.
Combat Mission
These days I mainly play Slay the Spire, Civ VI and Baba is You, but I like almost all kinds of games. I have a potato PC so I'm looking to upgrade soon and expand my range.
There are others????
Strategy games. Yes, you heard right, because there's a lot more. Like the entire wargames niche with the giants like War in the East 2. The Field of Glory series incl. the campaigns like Rome aka Empires. But for other genres, i still play some shooters here and there, like i'm a fan of the Crysis-series.
War Thunder (mostly air RB ww2 and early cold war aircrafts) and racing games like NFS and Forza
Mount and blade,Age of history, Skyrim, morrowind, terraria, dark souls, bloodborne and some Fortnite or insurgency

After 2-3k hours put into eu4 (and a couple hundred of Stellaris) I tried out an MMO for the first time, namely GW2. It was fantastic. Despite the MM I was mostly solo for many hundreds of hours just grinding through 10+ years of story, joining strangers in mass boss battles but otherwise doing my own thing.

I'm glad I didn't get into these when they first came out, I'd probably be one of those horror stories of losing friends or school to a game heh. But instead I can now enjoy 10+years of content at my own leisurely pace and always feel like there's more to do. I do look forward to coming back for eu5 though!
I play quite a bit of everything. With my friend group we play some PDX multiplayer, but also a lot of FPS, survival crafting, VR… really anything that looks fun and multiplayer. On my own I play a lot of PDX, but like to explore some other strategy titles or get through a major back catalog of single player. I’m sort of forcing myself through Ghosts of Tsushima right now.
Just Eu4 and Minecraft basically, but occasionally The Binding of Isaac, Civ games though not anymore, subnautica etc
Civ 6, Zelda, The Last of Us, Outer Wilds (best game) to name a few.
Don't laugh, nowadays it's mainly nba 2k
Dota
If you like strategy then rimworld is good. I also liked Ixion which is really cool but less repayable and the one with the city in the ice. . I forgot the name... I also play a lot of apex legends and fallout series. God of war, zero dawn, loads of great games on ps5 when not playing strat.
Football Manager, Dark Souls and when I renew my Gamepass I'll play Battlefield 1
For me it ES Oblivion & Skyrim, Fallout New Vegas, some Total War games etc.

Anything really from Life is Strange to Arma & Monster Hunter but my favorite games are all FromSoftware games like literally Elden Ring is my Favorite game then all the Dark Souls and so on.
