This is eventually all going to get compiled into one megathread for people who want gaming recommendations from Chapos specifically. Other consoles and genres will come in sporadic subsequent threads. Please contribute to previous threads if you missed them. This is meant to be an exhaustive list.

Expanding on your choice(s) is definitely a plus. Not everyone knows about or has played non-mainstream titles.

    I'll be that guy and say Dwarf Fortress is cool, good, and free. It's been in active development for like 15 years by two dudes, and straddles city builder, management sim, and rogue-like. Fabulously complex and engaging if you can get into it, and it's not nearly as hostile to learn as the zeitgeist suggests. UI is famously janky but alleviated by a host of 3rd party tools, and a paid version is being developed that is re-tooling everything to be much more functional out of the gate.
