Kenshi my favorite offline vibe of all time
Transformative otherworldly and if you're autistic you can mod it into perfection while waiting for Kenshi 2, I spent over 300 hours modding the game it's perfect.
Death stranding, has elements of kenshi and other games in it no doubt, the story is pure class, slightly boring and restrictive but a great transformation on kenshi for the public consumption.
Stellaris, easier than it looks, fun to play for 200-600 hours any more and it becomes a boring and easy chore unless you're playing multiplayer.
Rust, the competitive and creative man's proving grounds against massive clans, cheating issues and lags are bound to cause rage in some people, attracts alot of zoomers, it's the quintessential PC gaming experience.
Mordhau, essential entertainment, action and skill are infinite.
Battlefield, getting worse and dying.
Need for speed: most wanted(2005), a must play.
Barotrauma, my childhood concept, nearly perfected.
Frostpunk 1/2, decent.
Skyrim, legendary, must finish at least once.
The Isle, not bad.
Cyberpunk2077, underrated.
Mount & blade 2: Bannerlord
RDR2, fantastic, modern classic
Total war, max payne series, Assassins creed, normie tier but playing one game will tell you how much you will like the series.
Plenty of other great and smaller indie games and older games that I can't recall at the moment, for example "Papers Please" is the perfect game to relax and play while snacking and drinking after a tiring work shift.
I haven't even played %5 of the games I want to play and I finished less than %50 of those games I played, such is the pain of someone born in the year 2000.
I have great game ideas but so little time to do them, I can only bow down to kenshi's creator Chris Hunt and kiss his feet for spending 12 years creating something so spiritually pure and holding strong all throughout the years doubts and struggles.
Kudos to you Mr Chris hunt I bow down before you as the Japanese do, I am humbled.
