SIFU, the "git gud" gameplay really makes me dream about being a kung fu master lol.
The gameplay is so damn fun that I actually don't mind getting my ass beaten... That much.

My own work in progress game, an arcade style deckbuilding game with meta-progression.
The current release doesn't include the last part but the next update will introduce it.
It's so fun to try to get a high score, and the randomness gives me the "just one more go" feeling.

Project Zomboid.
It's bleak and definitely isn't for everyone but I really get sucked into it. The permadeath aspect usually turns me off a game but in this case it completely breaks me of my habit of save scumming. Every zombie encounter is tense, a single mistake can leave you infected. Sometimes there are long quiet periods where I just survive holed up somewhere safe, reading books, exercising or sorting/building. Other times it's extremely intense trying to drive through town with a horde on my tail trying to lure them away and double back so I can loot an area.
I find myself looking up the world map at work and planning a route towards a new area or trying to find a suitable spot for a base that meets my survival needs.
Starfield for a few weeks.
Crusader kings 3, aka Sims for psychopaths.
Elderborn. In its own words, a METAL AF SLASHER. Kind of like a first person souls-like. rolled straight out of beating it into a new game+
This looks right up my alley but unfortunately itβs not on PlayStation!
The studio that makes those games, makes the best in their genre and is somehow punching above their weight. I got Elderborn too after playing Postal Brain Damaged and was impressed.
Everybody likes different genres, and this one probably wouldn't be mine, but it was entrancing and I basically immediately poured all my free time into it too. Totally worth the buy.
These days I'm more of a boomer shooter dude, but the trailer hooked me and I regret nothing. Haven't tried the newest Postal yet. Played postal 2 back in the day. blood west is likely next up for me.
Devs like Hyperstrange and New Blood are killing it these days, in a time when the big devs are laying off entire teams. It's amazing what happens when you have smaller devs who are focused on the games and not chasing number-go-up.
As New Blood says, "We love you. We hate money."

Currently hooked on Humanity, which I just got. I played until 6am the other day...
Help me.
Revs. (1985 ish)
Chucky Egg (around the same time).
I'm still playing Starfield. I'm 120% the targeted audience. It helped me go through depression.
I'm a 45 years old dude, and I started creating a comic with my character in Starfield, by taking screenshots and adding speech bubbles with Figma. I didn't know I had it in me.
As far as I'm concerned, Starfield is self-care.
That's deep rock Galactic and star trek for me, whenever I'm bringing those 2 then times are tough.

Age of calamity is most recent. Not so much for the gameply but i got hugely into the BOTW lore and seeing everything before it got nuked to shit latched onto my obsessive little heart.
PC gaming, War for the Overworld
Deep Rock Galactic
Just gotta finish one last assignment...
I've gotten to the point I just browse the servers list. Help

Kenshi. Just the sheer dynamic ant-farm nature of it made the grind somehow all the more the worth. Even if you cheat and max out all your stats, you can still invent your own narrative in your head for what you think is happening.
Black Mesa Project and Stray
Dragon's Dogma 2 really has me like that now. I've waited years for this, and for the most part it's everything I expected. I love the new playable race, and I'm excited to try out the new vocations. I have a lot of fun just hunting monsters for other players' followers' quests, and finding things for them to potentially tell their own players about. In some ways it feels better than traditional multiplayer.
Also loving Helldivers 2, but now that I've unlocked almost everything it's no longer all I think about all day.

Crusader Kings 3
One sandbox that recently grabbed me was in Automation: The Car Tycoon game. You can make custom cars and engines and export them to BeamNG and I got pretty into that and made my first ever mod or two.
I am utterly shellshocked by how much I'm enjoying Helldivers 2. It's been a very long time since I've daydreamed about going home to play but I just can't wait to blast some bugs with friends most days. It's like I'm 10 again
Yeah it's this dog me too except im forcefully teaching democracy to the robots.
Not to mention i really try to help with all the major orders as i want to see where the story goes
I keep seeing so much about it, I really need to give it a shot.
You won't be disappointed especially if you play with friends or people who communicate
Oh.
Yeah it's a 4 player multiplayer game. You can drop in with randoms but it's just not the ideal experience in my mind
I will definitely revisit it as soon as I've made three communicative friends!
I just played a quick game before i do some chores now with random people, all American won't hold it against them but they were good blokes.
Knocked out 2 missions at level 4 cause i just wanted the cruisy experience
I have had great luck with random people. There is in-game voice chat and you don't run into the really serious try hard types until the very upper difficulties
I play coop PVE games with random matchmaking, Helldivers 2 is still a lot of fun with random people.
