Welcome back. This part of the series will be primarily focusing on genres. So far I have [Action RPG, Arcade Game, Action, Text dungeon, Survival, Sandbox, Shoot/beat 'em up, Adventure, Turn Based Strategy, Real Time Tactics, Grand Strategy, Tower Defense, and Miscellaneous] as available genres. Let me know if I missed something, and I will try to get it added.

This is eventually all going to get compiled into one megathread for people who want gaming recommendations from Chapos specifically. Other consoles and genres will come in sporadic subsequent threads. Please contribute to previous threads if you missed them. This is meant to be an exhaustive list.

Expanding on your choice(s) is definitely a plus. Not everyone knows about or has played non-mainstream titles.

    MOO2 of course, but I'd like to give a shout out to Imperia Galactica II as something that has never been surpassed in terms of actually feeling like youre ruling an empire (If only Nexus: The Jupiter Incident (not 4x but worth playing) had become IGIII as initially planned.), and Emperor of the Fading Suns for those who like a Dune aesthetic. For fantasy I love the Warlords Series.

    More modern ones I like include Stellaris, which has grown steadily better despite a rocky start and has great narrative events, Galactic Civilisations for an update on the MOO formula, and Sins of a Solar Empire which merges RTS and 4x mechanics into a really fun multiplayer experience
