Need some game recommendations

Cromulent · 25 Jun 2016 at 07:22

The kind of games I like are RPGs, MMOs, city builders, RTS, physics sandbox games and grand strategy games.

Recent purchases include:

Witcher 3 + all DLC
The old Settlers games
Banished
Galactic Civilisation 2
Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2
Dungeon Keeper 2
The old Anno games

I have a pretty good PC so I should be able to play all the latest games on it. Any recommendations would be highly appreciated

. I'm trying to build up a back log of games that I can play when I don't have any internet when I move in a week or so.

Ashes of the singularity is a good RTS building on the old supreme commander model, although for pvp the player base isn't huge. Also, I'm a big fan of battlefleet gothic.

Civ5 if you haven't already got it will have you "just one more turn" ing all night. Especially fun with friends

South Park stick of truth is funny but also quite a decent final fantasy style gameplay (surprised me)

Endless legend, very much like civ, but with a bit of a twist that I really liked. Good choice if you like civ but want something a bit different

Not quite the kind of game you've mentioned, but I always recommend telltale walking dead games. In terms of engaging me with the characters, no game has come close since.

Oh also if you like dungeon crawlers then the new gauntlet remake is great fun. Good for a laugh with mates

Cool. Thanks for the recommendations.

Yeah I already have Civ 5 with all DLC. Good game but I prefer Civ 4. Still deciding whether I am going to pre-order Civ 6 or wait until some DLC is released for it.

Ashes of Singularity sounds cool. I already own Supreme Commander and Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance and I really enjoy playing them so I'll try and pick it up on the Steam sale.

Never heard of Endless Legend. I'll look it up.

As for the rest not sure I'm in the mood for those but I'll certainly check out some reviews for them.

A bit out of left field, but check out Factorio as well.

Factorio looks cool. I've added it to my wishlist. Doesn't seem to be on sale at the moment which is a shame. Trying to pick up as many games on the cheap as possible while the sale is still on.

Nearly forgot, xcom?

Not really my cup of tea. Although I do play some turn based games I prefer real time for games like that.

Thanks for the suggestion though

Sins of a Solar Empire has just released a surprise DLC package. Might be worth a look?

I've added that game to my wishlist. Thanks for the suggestion

You really should get Dark Souls 3, 1 and 2 in that order.

I've watched some YouTube videos of these games and I don't really think they are going to be my cup of tea. I'd probably put my fist through my monitor in frustration

Cities Skylines.

It's simply amazing.

Already got it and I agree it is amazing. Might pick up the one piece of DLC I am missing in the sale though.

Dawn of War Series
Warcraft 3 & 4 including the frozen throne expansions.

Absolutely awesome games and worth every second of your time in my opinion. The story and ambiance in the Warcraft series (and the colourful graphics) are still something that really draw you in and you can loose hours on the game.

I've been playing the Warcraft games since 1995. I agree they are awesome but I've played so much of Warcraft 3 it has kind of lost its charm a little bit. Warcraft 2 was my favourite in the series though.
