We have finally entered a different paradigm. This part of the series will be primarily focusing on genres. So far I have [RTS, Turn based RPG, Action RPG, Board Game, Arcade Game, third person shooter, MMO, Action, Civ Clone (yell at me if this isn't the right name for the genre), 2D Platformer, 3D Platformer, Roguelike, Dungeon Crawler, Card Game, Point and click, Indie, Text dungeon, Stealth, Rhythm, horror, Metroidvania, Survival, Sandbox, Adventure, Simulation, Puzzle, Bullet Hell, Racing, Tower Defense, Sports, Idle, Trivia, and Casual] as available genres. Let me know if I missed something, and I will try to get it added.

I finally decided to give these threads a tag. It might be easier for people to search for in the future. I also expect to bring this over to the other comms in the near future.

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.

      Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is so unapologetically antifascist, the teenage edgelords are seething to this day. Holy shit this game made racists mad.

      It's also just a good game all around. The story, dialogue, characters are phenomenal from start to finish, the gameplay is highly enjoyable (I did get frustrated with the level design every once in a while, but I still enjoyed the hell out of stealth and dual-wielding).

      Favorite cut-scenes: Grace & Fergus foul-mouthed shouting match, Milkshake Nazi, Super Spesh being weird about aliens. Honorable mention: Horton being a literal commie.
