For me it's Caves of Qud. I love roguelikes and games with impenetrable control schemes and UIs. Took me a long long time to get the hang of Dwarf Fortress, but once I did I fell in love. But of course, I was younger then, and had much more time available.

Sekiro - From games are so well designed I have to platinum them, but it usually involves a little yelling at the TV :-). I have young children now and just can't dedicate the time to properly completing a from game.
Disgaea 4 Complete - I keep seeing this on sale for the switch. The last Disgaea I played took over 250+ hours to platinum. It's one of those games were you can play a little before bed for a few months to complete it but I just haven't been able to bring myself to get it.
Just Dance - My only reason for not playing this is because I hurt my knee. If you have kids, and you've never played this game, you're missing out. Great way to get exercise with the kids during the winter.
Disgaea 4 complete just announced for PC through xbox game pass. Never played a game in the series but willing to give it a go
Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark. This looks like the successor to Final Fantasy Tactics I've been waiting for.
Greedfall. I expect that it'll be janky and rough around the edges, but to also have a solid story and setting that'll serve as a foundation for better things to come. Kinda like the first Witcher game.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. It's like a Soulsborne game and it's made by From Software. Yeah, I'm gonna expect good things from it.
Alas, the reason I haven't played any of these yet...is becasue of stupid Monster Hunter World. That game is a freaking black hole.
I wouldn’t even call Sekiro a soulsborne game really, aside from the checkpoint system they really don’t have much in common aside from difficulty.
Morrowind, Oblivion, and Crusader Kings. Those are the style of games that are right up my alley.
For Morrowind you might want to look up what each stat does, if you invest your points badly you will have an annoying time with combat.
For Oblivion the level scaling is pretty weird. If you invest your points badly in that you can end up with enemies being way tougher than they should be. I would suggest turning down the difficulty in the options if there's some stuff you really can't get past.
Also check out Kingdom Come Deliverance if you haven't!
I am going thru Nehrim right now and I forgot how annoying leveling up your stats was in Oblivion. As for Morrowind, I've played that ages ago and I remember loving it but the only things I actually remember is starting over and over again for some reason, having a strat to get Umbra sword early on (which involved a levitation buff that lasted almost forever and joining the mage guild to get all the mana potions and then kill Umbra while levitating from above)
If you want to play Oblivion you should also try Nehrim. Is a game made for Oblivion, it has a very good story + a different world entirely. Similar with Shadow of Enderal for Skyrim, they are made by sure ai.
Yakuza series. They are on game pass and I know almost nothing about them other than they are good. So I think at the end of the month I'm going to dive in and see what they are all about
Shovel Knight, last two Shantae games, Crusader Kings 2, Tales of Berseria
You should sail the high seas for CK2. It'll cost a shit load for all the required DLC, and CK3 just dropped. I'll probably buy CK3 at the end of the week if no serious issues crop up.
I have the base version on Steam; I think it was in HalfKiA that somebody threw up a link to a chance to grab it for free. I mostly haven't hopped in because of trying to figure out the DLC thing
But your solution is much better. Guy I talk to mentioned that CK3 has much better tutorials and a somewhat less steep learning curve
It has a less steep learning curve mostly because the complexity is cut down, which is expected for a base grand strategy game. It's certainly an improvement to have a working tutorial. Vanilla CK2 is just awful in every way.
oblivion, ive put 400 hours into skyrim and only done 1/3 of it. This fills me with for starting another timesink like Oblivion.
X3 rebirth, I own it, but again its such a timesink I havent yet started it.
Look up min-max guides for Oblivion before you dive in. The leveling system is bad. You want your major attributes to be stats you don't use regularly. You can accidentally level too quickly and not have enough points to keep up with the world scaling.
You can try Nehrim for Oblivion and Shadow of Enderal for Skyrim if you are bored. Games designed by Sure AI that require Oblivion/Skyrim but in a new world with a very good story and different leveling systems. You can find them on Steam. I'm currently going thru Nehrim and is good but suffers from that Oblivion leveling, is a bit better in my opinion then in Oblivion but still a pain.
Rebel Galaxy & it's sequel - Give me a fucking break, I know it's old.
Strain Tactics - I love me some fucking Door Kickers, and this also has the ability to have a kind of AC-130 Gunship play, which always makes me knickers wet.
Kerbal Space Program 2 - This shit's real and supposed to come out.
KOTOR2 and Divinity Original Sin 2. Two sequels to two great games, buuut I don't have a lot of time for those games right now. I can only play RPGs for long periods at a time, and my schedule just isn't letting up right now...
I really want to get into starsector but I play for a bit, do okay for a while then make a mistake a bugger all the progress.
Watching tutorials on crusader Kings 3 so hopefully I'll get into that properly.
And finally Auroura 4x, I don't think I'll ever get the hang of that without guides, lots of guides.
Elite: Dangerous
I own it and it looks right up my alley, but it's multi-player and I'm having trouble getting a group of friends to play it with me.
