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, Text dungeon, Souls-like, Stealth, Rhythm, Metroidvania, Survival, Sandbox, Shoot/beat 'em up, City Builder, Adventure, Puzzle, Fighting, MOBA, Turn Based Strategy, Real Time Tactics, Grand Strategy, Handheld, Walking simulator, Tower Defense, 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.
An old 2002 game that I think really held up is Sim Golf (from Sid Meier). I still enjoy installing this game and playing it every couple of years. You basically design a small golf course and tourist area. But the best part is that you also create a golfer and can play the courses (including through Tournament events), and it has a pretty impressive golf mechanic (though few are better than the more recent non-Simulation game Golf Story).
My favorite part is that you can customize what the golfers say in text above their heads when they do certain things (hit the ball into the rough) or encounter certain objects. They can end up shouting things like "Oh Shit!!" when a ball almost hits them. I always found that to be enjoyable.
