I haven't seen a thread on this yet, so let's do this! I always recommend RimWorld for base building/management, as well as Hades for a magnificent hack and slash roguelike. I also highly recommend Noita -- a roguelike where every pixel is made of some kind of simulated substance -- dirt, lava, acid -- and you find and edit magic wands as your primary way of attacking and affecting the world. I also picked up the Phoenix Wright trilogy during the fall sale. I've been enjoying it, but sometimes it can definitely be too finicky in an old-school way, like wandering around aimlessly until you show a witness a random trading card or something. Decently fun, though, for sure. I'm not mad at paying $17 for 3 of the games.
What about you? What are you playing? What do you recommend?
I got on the gog sale instead, but I've been going through the Ys games. Only on second one and it's surprisingly fun. Music is really good and that's a big part of a game to me. For such a simple combat concept that's over 30 years old I was surprised how well it played. Some of the boss fights can be a bit cheap though, but I still got through all of them so far and I'm far from a video game masochist.
I literally just finished Ys VIII this weekend. I can vouch for the quality of the series, though it must be mentioned that the Flash Dodge/Guard system used in Celceta, VIII, and IX is very love/hate, and has turned off a lot of people. I'm considering getting IX while the sale is still going.
That said, Ys in its prime is Ark of Napishtim, Oath in Felghana, and Origins. And every single game has amazing music.
