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.

    Frostpunk is a fantastic city sim. Gotta survive a harsh eternal winter like snowpiercer, but all you have is a steampunk coal generator to keep everyone warm. You have to keep track of working hours, choose to allow child labor or not. Waves of refugees show up and burden your supplied leading to factions forming and murders unless you handle it.

    It's a super cool concept that's very replayable.

    Also all your people have names and families and jobs, so losing them actually has some weight to it.

    The expansions are all alright, each one has a focus on a different part of the story. One is after the main story and is about the politics of the different cities and factions, one is another city that failed, one is about building the generators, one is about some scientists that have to preserve a seed bank (really cool because you don't start with any workers, so you need to automate fast. There's also a "you can eat the seeds, but that could doom humanity in exchange for your survival" thing).
