Welcome back. This part of the series will be primarily focusing on genres. So far I have [Action RPG, Board Game, Tabletop RPG, Arcade Game, Third person shooter, MMO, Action, 4X (Civilization-like), 3D Platformer, Dungeon Crawler, Card Game, Indie, Text dungeon, Souls-like, Stealth, Rhythm, Horror, Metroidvania, Survival, Sandbox, Shoot/beat 'em up, City Builder, Adventure, Simulation, Puzzle, Fighting, MOBA, Turn Based Strategy, Real Time Tactics, Grand Strategy, Mobile Phone, Walking simulator, Tower Defense, Sports, Idle, Trivia, Miscellaneous, 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.

Oh good, another genre I've never played. Anyway, here's the thread.

        It's remarkable - even playing the first one with the original implementation in dosbox is OK graphically, just feels kinda like a pixel art game. Both Baldur's Gate are similar, as an aside, even with the original versions and despite the first one being released 22 years ago and being playable at the time on a 166mhz computer with 16MB of ram: they look fine, mostly I think because they used hand-painted decor.
