Welcome back. This part of the series will be primarily focusing on genres. So far I have [Turn based RPG, Action RPG, Board Game, Arcade Game, third person shooter, MMO, Action, 4X (Civilization-like), 3D Platformer, Roguelike, Dungeon Crawler, Card Game, Point and click, Indie, Text dungeon, Stealth, Rhythm, Horror, Metroidvania, Survival, Sandbox, shoot/beat 'em up, City Builder, Adventure, Simulation, Puzzle, Bullet Hell, Fighting, MOBA, Real Time Tactics, grand strategy, Visual Novel, 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.

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.

    Technically the paradox games are real time (grand) strategy games, so I’d say those. Ignoring the communities which can be shitty the games are great. I love the absolutely bonkers shit you can do in the crusader kings series because it’s hilarious managing an enormous empire while your inbred god emperors worship Satan. Hoi4 is fun but kind of for different reasons, it’s definitely more fun in the “strategy” way because there’s less freedom (no sister marriages unfortunately) but a much deeper combat system. Plus you can conquer the whole world as Mao. Haven’t got to eu4 but I will eventually. Overall highly reccomend.

      When you're a ruler of a small English kingdom, but Pope announces a crusade against a different English kingdom, so you immediately dispatch your sister to crush the heretics, so now there are two kingdoms, England and Crusader England, ruled by siblings, but now you wanna annex her territory and decide to seduce her, but you're gay, so you seduce her gay husband instead, and you also rule over a small county in the Holy Land, that a relative of yours got through a previous crusade, so you join the assassins and secretly adopt Shia Islam, so you can murder your sister and all her children.

      The only paradox game I've ever played was crusader kings 2 when it went free, and while my friend was showing me the ropes and i managed to start an international incident by seducing his wife.

        Once you get the trick down you can reunite the people’s republic of China as early as 1939 with only the “waking the tiger” dlc meaning you can jump into ww2 quite quickly
