Hit me with some game recommendations....

If you like RTS games then I highly recommend Company of Heroes + DLC (along with the Blitzkrieg mod).

I'm still playing it since it came out in 2006!
 
Elit Dangerous I played on PS4 - two summers ago now? Just after release. I didnt play anything else for about 8 weeks - then started to get board with the constant grind. ITs good -very good, but a but repetitive after a while, and I dont really enjoy just exploration. If X-4 is similar, with more to do Ill give that ago, if not the Elite will be on the list.
 
Strategy
Endless Legend
Age of Wonders
Warhammer total war 2 maybe, not played it, heard good things

ARPG
Grim Dawn
Titan Quest Anniversary Edition

Action
Dying Light
Dragon Age

Something simple and easy to pick up/put down
FTL

Logistic/Design/Managment
Oxygen Not Included
Factorio
Satisfactory
Cities Skylines

I'd throw in Vermintide 2, but IMO I'd only play it with friends. That's just me though.
Rebel Galaxy Outlaw might be up your street, I've seen it mentioned in this thread. Again not played it, the first game was very different - think battleships in space.
 
OK - so so many great suggestions. I am distilling the options one at a time.

EU4/CK2 and indeed HoI2.... Im going to hold off. Not least because I cant make my mind up which Id prefer. There is a considerable outlay as DLCs can add up and some seem pretty necessary to unlock key features. There all relatively old games - and from what I gather EU5 is in development. They all have demo versions, so I can have a tinker, and with so many other great games to look at - Ill put this genre on the back burner for now.

AC - Origins/Odyseey - same here. Having not enjoyed Black Flag (or AC2), and while understanding these are not the same - more RPGs - there are titles from Devs I KNOW I enjoy - Cyberpunk and Outer Worlds - due out relatively soon. Ill play other games first and pick those up at (or after) release I think.

I am Definitely picking up Divinity Original Sin 2 for an RPG, and Anno 1800 for resource management - probably in that order with a space combat think in between.

Im also definitely picking up EITHER X4 foundations or Elite Dangerous. Not sure which though. Loved the original Elite (on a BBC-B computer in the early 80s) and Dangerous on PS4 a couple of summers back. However, having played ED before..... I know the PC version will be FAR superior graphically, and in the last 2 years will have developed from the console version I played - Also having a "new start" with re-ignite my love. However, I didnt enjoy mining, or exploration that much (exploration was better but after a while just got samey). I did like trading and combat. the grind is big here though. I havent even seen an X Game - and while graphically it seems inferior to ED - gameplay wise it might suit me better.

So - unless anyone has anything else left field, or cares to help me decide between X4 and ED, Im pretty set.

Thanks for all the suggestions, incites and advice.
