Baldur's Gate 3 (2023) - Rated 03 Sep 2025
For someone who's never played Dungeons and Dragons, and outside of chess doesn't care for turn based games this was a difficult game to get into. There's an overwhelming amount of knowledge required to master it's systems but perseverance will yield results in the end. It's an incredibly impressive and immersive game once you know what you're doing.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance (2018) - Rated 17 Jan 2023
Skyrim with added realism. Combat is hilariously difficult when you start out but once you master it is very satisfying. The world feels more alive than most games of this type, most of the missions are more interesting than usual (the monastery section will test your patience though), and the progression from illiterate peasant to influential protagonist doesn't feel too forced. Well worth the extra effort this game requires from the player.

Satisfactory (2024) - Rated 17 Jan 2023
This, along with Factorio are the ultimate automation games, and you will generally favour one over the other. This has a beautiful world to explore and a perspective most current gamers are very familiar with. It's the obvious choice if you don't want to go full spreadsheet mode. The controls are not intuitive though, and some of the system mechanics are weird, but building a vast factory from nothing in a beautifully realized 3D environment is - and I hate to say this - very satisfying.

American Truck Simulator (2016) - Rated 17 Jan 2023
On the surface it would seem this game has nothing much to offer. It's literally just driving in first perspective with some optional parking once you reach your destination. That's it. Yes, you can buy garages and hire AI drivers to drive virtual trucks in the background but these are just extra trinkets to flesh the game out a bit more. Ultimately it's just you driving forward and trying not to fall asleep, because it's very relaxing. The absolute best game to pair with an audio book.

Valheim (2021) - Rated 17 Jan 2023
Properly difficult Norse themed game with bags of atmosphere and hands down the best building mechanics of any survival game. It also features a neat progression system and an interesting portal system that prevents metal - required for high tier weapon and armor crafting - from being transported through them, resulting in the need for transportation via ships, which introduces a fascinating logistics puzzle of how to get high level equipment from one place to another.
