Recommendation for a weekend of gaming?

[Ole]

Got a free weekend coming up and fancy getting into a new game. It's most likely I will sink a load of time into it over a long weekend, and then not have much time to play it again (I normally just play Overwatch with mates when I have free time for gaming).

I'm thinking maybe a strategy game? Or an RPG?

Any recommendations?

Nothing horror/jumpy - not got the nerves for it!

Legend of Grimrock titles with/without mods?

Interesting suggestion - I'd never heard of these, but they do look good.

I've had The Witcher 3 on my wishlist for a long while - is that too ambitious for a weekend's gaming (i.e. is it too huge)?!

Cheers for all the awesome suggestions chaps, much appreciated!

After reading loads of Steam reviews and watching video reviews, I think I am going to go with... 3D Sex Villa

j/k

I'm leaning towards BioShock infinity or Shadows or Mordor, both look awesome. I guess I'm looking for something that will be engrossing, but also relaxing to play, if that make sense?

Also really liked the look of Factorio! How fast is the gameplay? Is it relaxing? Or intense, like StarCraft 2?

Looking through my Steam list, I also have Beyond Earth, which I have never played. I've played loads of Civ in the past - is Beyond Earth good? I loved Alpha Centuri.

By way of update... spent the Friday night playing around on the Factorio demo, which was great, but not quite what I was after. This was then followed by a long Overwatch session.

On Saturday, swayed by @Paul_cz 's comments, I downloaded The Witcher 3 GOTY edition! While I don't normally have loads of time for gaming, I decided that, given the rave reviews, slowly plodding through TW3 was bound to be an awesome experience. I sunk a load of time in over the weekend - no regrets so far! It's amazing.

Any tips on a fun build for a first play-through?
