This is eventually all going to get compiled into one megathread for people who want gaming recommendations from Chapos specifically. Other genres and years 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.
Hello, this is the special edition of [Chapo Recommends]. We will be focusing on the best of 2020. I gave it a month so that people could finish up their backlogs of the stuff that came out last year. My computer is shit and the last console I purchased was the Playstation 3, so I look forward to playing your suggestions in 5 years. Feel free to add phone games if you want as well, since they've pretty much taken over mobile gaming anyway.
We will be back to our normal programming later this week.
Desperados III - it's pretty much a wild west reskin of Shadow Tactics, which itself was pretty much a remake of Commandos, but it's just really well done and having active pause is incredibly good
Crusader Kings III - Doesn't have all the features that II had with its million expansions, but it's a really solid foundation with way more content than II had on launch and it's really well thought-out. Still very much all about incest and child murder
Green Hell - I think it came out of early access in 2020 so I'm counting it. A bit like a jungle version of Subnautica, but with a heeeaaaaavy emphasis on survival and the million ways that the environment will try to kill you. Sweet if you're into that sort of thing.
