Factorio is soooo good. The last game that kept me up til the morning of the next day. Absolutely brilliant.
 
Xenonauts.

Second mention for FTL also game is so good, literally hundreds of hours on it.

Prison architect is quite fun for a bit.

looks dated but you can make it look a lot better with mods

expensive though


Kenshi is awesome too
 
There's some good tower defence games

Dungeon Warfare 2 (so much fun)
Creeper world
Defence Grid
Kingdom Rush
Bloons

Random others

Banished
Bastion
Brade
Mashinky (choo choo)
Salt and Sanctuary (2d dark souls)
Trine
 
Slay the Spire
Heat Signature
Into the Breach (since FTL is already getting love :D)

@DanF I always forget about Defence Grid. Great game!

Edit: Monster train is also amazing.
 
I finished The Forgotten City last night and was seriously impressed with almost every aspect of it. I don't generally like time-loop games as I don't like the repetition, but here I was pulled in so effectively into the world, the lives of the characters, the unfolding mystery that I couldn't stop playing. It's absolutely amazing and I would recommend anyone who's not played it to give it a try.

It only took me about five hours to get to the end, though, so the current Steam asking price of £20 might seem a bit steep. I'd still argue it's worth that given the quality of those hours, but it is also currently include in Gamepass, which is how I played it.
 
Satellite Reign - Syndicate universe squad based real-time strategy

Just replaying this and it's a good game, got some flack for not being a true Syndicate follow-up and more an RTS. Graphics and setting are great but character development/story is a bit light
 
Metroidvania recommendations:

Ender Lillies
The Mummy De-mastered
Valfaris
Blasphemous
Bloodstained
Axiom Verge
Strider
Dust
Castlevania Mirror Of Fate
The Messenger
Alwa's Legacy
Finding Teddy 2
FEZ
Momodora
