So, I've spent over 2 hours on Steam searching for a nice game to play. But it's all junk, as far as I'm fed with Steam recommendations. I liked ksp~~2~~ 1, cities skylines 1, age of empires 2, baldurs gate 3 a lot, I just finished Divinity original sin 2. I like rpgs and management / factory games like workers and resources, satisfactory etc. I'm having a lot of fun with split fiction when I play with a friend, but I need a proper singplayer game. Anything I could get which isn't a total ripoff due to lack of gameplay or it being a bug simulator or dlc purchase mania?

EDIT: I'm a bit overwhelmed by all reactions. Thank you all so much! I have a lot of amazing recommendations to check out!

I think you might like 'Rogue Trader', even if you don't know anything about the 40K universe. Cool story, choices and fights.

Don't worry too much about not knowing the background lore. The game contextualizes a lot in dialogues and even little mouseovers. But be careful, if you like SciFi, you might fall into the awesomely rich and grim rabbit hole, that is Warhammer 40K.

Not on steam, but Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is pretty good, and free.

Naturally we need to know which suggestions "won" ASAP

Oblivion Remastered is really good.

Oh man, careful OP doesn't post a two-page rant proclaiming how they're emphatically anti-Bethesda

Terraria.

Shall I recommend WarZone-2100 ? It's free

Hardspace Shipbreaker.

[–] Nibodhika@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Factorio, I know you said you couldn't get into it, but try peaceful mode, it's a great game even without enemies
RimWorld, it's an excellent colony management game
Dwarf Fortress, this is the big boss, it's really hard to start, but it's the most complex simulation game out there. If you can get into it, it's infinite hours of fun.

Os there a specific genre of games you are looking for?

Leaning more into the management style of games, might be worth checking out Two Points Hospital (spiritual sequel to Theme Hospital), and the more recently released Rwo Points Museum?

Project hospital is a fun hospital manager but it's a lot more serious than two point or theme

I got no clue if this would count as something you'd be into, but I've been having fun with Skyblock Zero on Luanti.

Idon't know how quickly you could finish it considering I play purposefully inefficiently, but it's a space themed with a quest line to follow where the only limited resource is your time. Spawn on a voxel, keep clicking to gain resources, and build out from there. So far one of my only gripes is storage in the game is only drawers instead of chests, so I constantly have machines and my inventory filled.

Try a different genre than you usually play.

Tetris Effect Connected

A Short Hike

Cult of the Lamb

What Remains of Edith Finch?

If you don't mind Early access games, try "Escape the mad empire". It's a nice RPG with tactical pause and some nice looting in it.

If you like rpgs and management I'd suggest Battle Brothers, a mercenary company management game. You basically travel the countryside fighting brigands and taking jobs from various cities all while building up your company with new recruits and equipment. It's got a bit of a learning curve but once you get the basics down it's oddly enthralling.

I wanted to recommend go, but you said single player... there's always Katago to play against.

I guarantee you'll never truly 'beat' the game!
