Like usual, I keep a handful of games in my rotation so that I can pick and choose whenever I want to play something else. Right now that rotation is:
Snowrunner
Offroad trucking game, where most of the challenge is in making sure you dont get bogged down in the mud/snow/swamp/all of the above, while also carrying cargo for different organizations who hire you out. Luckily, unlike Spintires or Mudrunner, its not all just logs. It can be concrete slabs and steel girders for construction, it an be a tanker for a remote outpost, it can even be specialty cargo like an oil rig and its drilling equipment.
Anno 1800
I have been in a Victorian mode lately (probably because I am hyped for Victoria 3 to eventually come out), so why not play one of the only games in the setting. And it honestly looks pretty good as well as having a healthy amount of challenge.
Hearts of Iron 4
Been getting back into this since they came out with the new DLC. So far, I have been playing as the US, with a Fascist Canada to my north, a Communist Mexico to my south, but no one declaring war on me because its 1947 and I have like 30 nukes and my army standard issues assault rifles while everyone else is just getting around to semi-autos. Also like 30 aircraft carriers, because "Fuck you and everything in a 200 mile radius."
Tropico 4
I guess I am on a city spree right now too. I have been working my way back through the Tropicos to do achievement hunting and replay the campaign. Will probably go to Tropico 5 when I believe I am done with 4.
Age of Darkness: Last Stand
Got this on a recommendation, and I will also recommend. It takes the same gameplay style and loop as They Are Billions, then improves it in literally every way. Its just a much better game than TAB and is the new platinum standard for Survival Strategy in my book.
HighFleet
Kind of fell of the wagon with this one, but I am want to get back into it. Its pretty difficult, but I love every second of it, and its probably one of my top games of all time.
