This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Try Frostpunk. It was great, tense tone and great gameplay.

I've been enjoying Caves of Qud a lot.  It mixes roguelike and fixed locations/quests in a manner that allows someone to really dig deep into the systems without having to keep a wiki open at all times.  That said, the wiki does still help :D

I've been playing a lot of Medieval Dynasty. It's a 'medieval' survival/town building game. It's got a main plot line, though it's pretty thin, and a bunch of other 'quests' to get from villagers in other villages. It's more focused on building your town and inviting villagers to live and work there. There's a ton of ways to 'decorate' your town and houses. There are bandits and bandit camps to fight and loot, as well as wild animals, and abandoned camps and bundles to loot all over the place. They recently added armor, weapons, and dyes for clothing as well.

Aside from my obsession with "Dead by Daylight" (which, BTW, offers a lot of ideas for Call of Cthulhu), I'm playing Europa Universalis IV as Dai Viet and American Truck Simulator, which I find incredibly relaxing.
For every idiot who denounces Ayn Rand as "intellectualism" there is an excellent DM who creates a "Bioshock" adventure.

Nobody has mentioned Svarog's Dream, so it is my duty to mention this. Isometric arpg, with philosophical flavours based on slavic mythologies.

I like Dead by Daylight but I am just terrible at it.
