One thing I have struggled with lately is finding good games to play. I bounce around from game to game trying to enjoy it but it just doesn't scratch the itch like it used to. For example, one of my favorites was old school RuneScape, but it hasn't really been giving me the same enjoyment that it used to. So then I would open up World of Warcraft, Destiny 2, just playing a little bit of each game. Think maybe I need some new games to play but it's tough to find them these days.

So what are your favorite 1000+ hour games?

LoL sucks, it's like a shallow copy of DotA. I've played around 300 hours, it's very silly in comparison.

Stellaris is kinda easy once you figure out that expanding is the No1 priority for the entire game. Expand, build ships - nobody will be able to stop you.

There was always a need for a 'tall' empire - so you don't expand, but focus on your small part of the galaxy - but so far it's always crushed by the expanding ones.

Once you get stargate tech, it's 24/7 war. For even more territory.

Right now I remembered a game that never was really finished, Stardrive, where you could design your own ships down to the electrical wiring. It had layouts with sections, and you could fill it up to your liking. It was a shame that ground troops could finish the game in minutes.

Sometimes I feel like 4X games are usually more suited for roleplaying than actual challenge of micromanagement.

Anyway, I have a huge jam on my main line in OpenTTD, gotta fix my intersection again.
