L4D2 still going strong?? I try to hop on casually but always get shit servers. Used to play a ton.

I feel like I would love this game, but I already have plenty of other games to enjoy I’m trying to hold off.

Lots of rimworld time though.

The other recommendations you got are good, but add a slightly different style check out This War Of Mine. Disclaimer : it’s. Heavy topic game. You survive as a civilian in an ongoing warzone (in short). You craft you home base during the day, and either scavenge for meager supplies at night (suffering exhaustion) or sleep at night. It’s a fairly brutal game, emotional, but some people are into that stuff… A friend, yeah! Not me.

I was terrible when I started on Civ V, so confused and overwhelmed. I was interested though and read a couple recommended settings/actions and things started to come together more. Now I’ve got about 400 hrs in Civ VI

Any interest in Civ? It’s my relaxed game. So easy to pickup and put down (well… After 1 more turn…) and travels well.
