Person with huge pockets builds a house that gets blown up because the door was left open.
You end up stranded on a foreign planet. You need to build a rocket so you can go home, but unfortunately you have to build a whole manufacturing facility to do that. As if this wasn't hard enough, the inhabitants of the planet are environmentalist assholes and will do anything in their power to stop you.
I feel like this is well described lmao

People shoot each other based upon religious or economic beliefs with future weapons.

I'd give you a bonus check for that right answer!
Drunk man shouts at over grown lizards
Saints row X fits any kind of description like that.
You take getting shot in the face very personally and end up deciding the fate of an entire metropolitan area. There is also sand everywhere.
New vegas?
Anything brutal with sand will always be New Vegas. And I like that.
You're supposed to be looking for your kidnapped son, but that's kinda hard in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Might as well just do whatever you want and hopefully run into him Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
Build 30 settlements but fuck your son?
You touch something you shouldn't have, then nobody would ever believe what you've seen, but you keep trying to convince every species in the galaxy.
Mass effect?
In a world full of robots you live your live in the wilds until your stepdad gets killed and all of a sudden all these religious tribes around you want you to save humanity.
That's actually pretty well described. Read my version.
Damn! Yours is so much better. Have to work on my bad descriptions.
You wake up in a strange place with some other random people. Thereβs something spooky there with you. You need to become fix things to open a door and escape. Thereβs way more squatting and flashlights than necessary.
Dead by Daylight
Experience xenophobia as a lizard-person in a racism simulator
Skyrim. Please tell me it's skyrim.
Xenogenocide
I think this is an apt description of your standard stellaris playthrough
Fast inserters... Long inserters.... Inserters into trains... Inserters into cars...
Don't forget the filtering inserters
Waterfills your house
Factorio?
You pull animal-like creatures from their natural habitats to make them fight each other in a way that they somehow consent, in a franchise that systematically weeds out the good ideas from each game while retaining the bad ones.
pokemon?
A guy goes to work and encounters unexpected events
Half Life?

Normal mailman gets shot and robbed, embarks on quest for revenge, acidentaly changes politics of the area forever.
Postal?
You eat stuff while ghosts try to kill you.
Pacman?
You see an alien peeking around a corner. You know to have a 99% hit chance. You miss.
XCOM, or, more recently released, Baldur's Gate 3 fits too.
Spoiler
XCOM, but funny if Baldur's Gate does it too!
I can't tell you anything about it you just have to play it.
Outer Wilds?
Five soldiers of specialized anti terrorism forces battle against some other five soldiers of those same forces, to defuse a bomb. But for some reason all of these operators are from the same countries and task forces and should actually work together. Also the servers of this game are shit.
