    Project Zomboid, even though I’m not into zombie lore.

    • Isometric perspective graphics, one of my favorite game perspectives
    • Open world, open-ended, sandbox play with enough of a game objective to not be boring
    • Hardcore survival with deep, often surprising mechanics
    • Amazing multiplayer experiences
    • Loads of suspense and tension
    • Constant development from a small, totally independent team
    • Incredible array of community mods

    I would love to see other games in the same vein using other scenarios besides zombies, like maybe warzone survival, etc.

      You say “open ended” but it’s not. Project Zomboid has one ending.

        Haha, true. Infinite paths to reach the one ending, but still one ending. ;)

    Thief: The Dark Project.

    It’s everything I could ever want.

    • Excellent story perfectly meshed with the gameplay.
    • A strange high-technology medieval world.
    • Incredible level design combined with realistic roughly drawn maps, forcing you to take in your surroundings and build your own map.
    • Variety of gameplay, ranging from infiltrating a rich baron’s mansion to rob them blind, to delving into ancient crypts filled with odd creatures and an alien culture for some adventurous tomb raiding, to some of the most terrifying pants filling survival horror I’ve yet encountered.

    It is, in my opinion, perfection.

    Siralim Ultimate. It’s like Pokémon but your party is essentially a machine built from passive effect interactions and the gameplay is like Diablo.

    Absolute hidden gem.

      Recently started playing and it reminded me of when I used to play MtG and tried to build decks with broken combos.
