Welcome back. This part of the series will be primarily focusing on genres. So far I have [Action RPG, Arcade Game, Third person shooter, Action, 4X (Civilization-like), 3D Platformer, Dungeon Crawler, Card Game, Text dungeon, Souls-like, Rhythm, Survival, Sandbox, Shoot/beat 'em up, City Builder, Adventure, Fighting, 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.
Also Talos Principle is a great game. Sorta similar to Portal, but with lots of philosophical musing on top (centered on the boundary between human and artificial intelligence, sorta, what it means to be human more generally. Lots of other stuff, I thoroughly enjoyed it). The puzzles are pretty great, and the writing is even better.
One of the main writers, Jonas Kryatzes, is a Greek comrade who was on an episode of Aufhe Bunga Bunga somewhat recently. He said it was probably the only video game that quotes trotsky lol
