    Are you looking for one specific genre or are you in the “new PC, give me shiny games” phase? Because I have different recommendations based on what you’re feeling like at the moment

        If you like/are interested in the tycoon type of RTS management games, I really enjoyed Jurassic World Evolution. Instead of building an amusement park, you build a zoo of dinosaurs, often rescuing them from the wilds (after they escaped from the movies).

        Otherwise RimWorld, which you said you have, and Dwarf Fortress are the classics but can be hard to get into. I hate recommending going to YouTube, but I know there are some “let’s plays” that can really help you get over the hump that comes after the tutorial.

    Well OW2 and Vicky 3 already exist and CS2 is playable for some people. A great time for you.

    Jokes aside, maybe check the current sales and see what interests you.

      I can’t really reccomend Vic III, if he enjoys Vic II, Vic III is a radically different game than that. He would probably want to do a lot of looking into it to see if he likes where the third game took the series.

        I followed the dev diary for the first few months and it seems like a huge shift from what I was reading. I haven’t watched gameplay of it though, did it have a good release or are we waiting for dlc?

          The general consensus I think is that the release was horrible, and the game is… alright, not great, not horrible. The first DLC, Voices of the People, has HORRIBLE reviews with only 26% positive on Steam tho, people are upset that instead of inproving the game itself, they added flavor for a single country instead. The popular theory is that they did this so they could give all the people who preordered the first couple DLCs crappy DLC just to fulfill that promise, and have the actual important DLC later so they have to pay for it.

      Nothing crazy, it was ours, bought under a shared budget while living together, and the PC was one of the stuff he wanted to leave with. Sucks but stuff has to be divvied up, each person has to lose out on some stuff in order for it to be fair.

        Yeah it sucks having to part with some of your stuff, but you sound like a very fair person. Have fun with your new computer!

    If you’re looking for another team based shooter, “Deceive Inc.” looks decent and has good reviews. Never played it myself though, not really my genre.

      I haven’t played it myself but a bunch of my friends speak very highly of it and the creative ways you can figure out which npcs are actually players.

    if you haven’t played it and don’t hate Battle Royale games, Apex Legends is really fun imo. Has a bit of a steep learning curve, but I have fun with it even if I’m bad

    As you’ve played Vic II, I’d recommend other Paradox games, Vic 3, CK3 and EU4. They have big differences compared to Vic II, but they have Paradox-style fun like Vic 2 IMHO.

    HOI4 is fun too, but that’s a very different game, so I skipped it.

    Besides, CS:GO just released a big update. Some friends told me that they have totally different experience now, so I suggest to play it again if you had AFKed (well, I don’t play CS)
