mostly RPGs and strategy games would start listing, but my Steam library says it has 223 titles and that is not accounting for 20+ years of game cartridges and discs for console systems in my poorer gaming youth
of late, my most frequently played title is Monster Hunter: World it is a game about hunting down dinosaur-sized and sort creatures for fun, profit, and to make places safer for researchers conceptually really enjoy that the game actually provides me bonus rewards for catching and tranquilizing the monsters rather than killing them so it has a sort of conservationist messaging underlying its huge spectacle fighting


plus the Handler NPC has basically become my new Waifu because she is what I need IRL -- someone to go everywhere with me and handle all the logistics of my life for me while making my way through the mess of actually doing the thangs plus she cooks for me and my cat

Also, since you shared a gaming video here is a Game Grumps excerpt where they run into a transphobic bit of content in a game about seducing women and apologize to their viewers at the end of the episode because Game Grumps are awesome

Lately I have mostly just been playing Plants vs Zombies 2, a strategy game. Kind of tainted by pay-to-win stuff typical of mobile games that are free to download, and I wouldn't consider it a masterpiece of gaming or anything, but I still enjoy it.
Some other games I think are pretty good:
Bioshock series Terraria Factorio "Metroidvania" type Castlevania games, particularly the GBA ones. Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior series, especially the early 2d ones and DQ8
I enjoy some things about Minecraft but I can't respect the artwork (unlike Terraria, which does the lo-fi thing artfully). The worldgen stuff is pretty cool though. I don't really play the actual game much any more but I like writing programs to make procedurally generated buildings etc.

I have heard the name but didn't know anything about it, might see about finding the original for 360. Though with those GBA games what I liked was the combo of 2d platforming with RPG elements. That's what I liked about Terraria though it didn't have the level grinding aspect.
Oh yeah Demon's Crest for SNES was another masterpiece of 2d gaming I forgot above. Art wise it tops any other 2d game for me.

If you are a fan of platforming, Dark Souls may not be as much for you am not personally a platforming fan, so love it
it's a grimdark RPG with notoriously difficult boss fights but my love for 1 in particular is the beautiful way they managed to make the entire world map interconnected in true metroidvania fashion, you can travel across the map from significant areas to others and everything fits together in a fairly logically cohesive way when forming the mental map DS2 really messed with that, having arbitrarily floating areas in the sky and such DS3 brought it back a bit, but ended up having more to do with linear ending paths rather than looping back into itself like DS1 does


used to have two playlist suggestions for people who did not want to personally play through the series but my favourite one appears to have cut the early episodes due to unrelated drama so can now only suggest EpicNameBro's lorethrough

tho if you like 2d platformers and have not tried it definitely check out Hollow Knight won't personally play it due to the late-game platforming getting so intense but the rest of it in terms of world design and narrative flow is in many ways a 2D homage to Dark Souls

I recently heard of a cool open ended game/game creation platform for PS4 called Dreams. Unfortunately I don't have a PS4 though.

I play WoW Classic and Magic the Gathering Arena, sometimes Old School RuneScape. But mostly WoW.
But I’m mostly a table top gamer, I like Call of Cthulhu, Magic the Gathering, Vampire the Masquerade, Arkham Horror, Mansions of Madness and DnD.

Rust!!!!!!
got Conan, and Division 2,..... but really... Rust is so amazing. Been playing daily for 3 months now and still "getting used to it". as the servers are so diverse, and its a rather complicated game to be good at. Just got down electricity. Trap bases ftw :P

I played about 1600 hours of Rust last year/year before. Mostly on Rusty Moose servers but also a few others here and there. Haven't played very much since, but checked out a few of the last updates. They just keep making it better and better every couple weeks. I stopped playing a lot around the time horses were introduced, just kind of burnt myself out on it. Probably the best online massive multiplayer game I invested into though.
