I used to play everything. Then I developed a sense of taste and learned to recognize what I know I wouldn’t much care for, and don’t bother with those games. I like shit with complexity, depth of mechanics, and loads of weirdness. Like Dwarf Fortress, Kenshi, Earth Defense Force, and soulslikes.

That’s me, but in a wildly different direction. Lol. I wanted to a be “gamer” so badly, because I enjoy story telling, puzzles, exciting worlds, all that jazz. But I figured out years ago, I’m just not that into most games. “Go kill these dudes/monsters/whatevers that want you dead” just isn’t a thing I can get into easily, so I found the games I like, which are generally not gamer-y games, and I play them to my heart’s content. And I’ll try other things, because you should always strive to try things you think you won’t like… But I’ve found what I like, and I mainly stick to it.
That is, when I actually have the time to play games and don’t choose TV or an audiobook+embroidery as my wind down routine

I’m halfway between the both of you (minus souls like games, fuck that noise) got any recommendations? I’ve been leaning towards “not gamery games” a lot more lately

Most recent game I loved was disco Elysium. Didn’t get very far in, but I absolutely loved playing it

Took me 3 tries to finish it, and I basically had to be firm with myself to only play that and not get distracted by other games.
It’s very good, but it’s one of those games you need to play in a relatively focused way, like watching a movie.
