Hi all,
Background. Im 52 and havent played on a PC for 15 years. I have played on consoles (switched for the kids) and on PC (of sorts) since about 81.
Games I have enjoyed on any platform:
Elite (BBC) and Dangerous (PS4)
Settlers (Amiga)
Sim City (Amiga)
Oblivion/Skyrim (PC - not great spec)
Civilization 1 & 4
Resident Evil 1 (PS1) and 7 (PS4)
Witcher 3 (PS4)
Horizon Zero Dawn (PS4)
Diablo (not sure)
Rome Total War (PC)
roller Coaster Tycoon (PC)
Last of Us 2 (PS4)
Games Ive played and not got on with:
ANY Assasins Creed game (though havent tried Origins or Odessey)
Red Dead 2 (just didnt gel)
Fallout 4 (ditto above)
City Skylines (probably more to do with console limitation)
Shadow of Mordor (PS4). Im a huge Tolkein fan - but this was far too stealth based for me.
God of War (PS4). Well it was OK but I lost interest about half way through.
I do not want to revisit any of these (those I enjoyed or those I didnt) - I still have PS4 versions and although graphically they would be better, there are too many PC only games to go at Id rather not repeat games.
What I want.
1 x RPG
1 x Action/Open World RPG
1 x Resource management/building game
1 x 4x or grand strategy (maybe 2)
1 x Spacey combat/exploration/trading type thing (but not Elite as I still have it on PS4)
Currently looking at the following. Id appreciate any reasons NOT to get any - which to choose (if there is a choice) and anything else better (subjective I know) to look at.
1. PRG. Divinity Original Sin 2
2. Open world/action RPG - will wait for Cyberpunk and/or Outer Worlds
3. Resource - probably Anno 1800?
4. 4x/stratagy. This gets confusing. Like the idea of UE4, but Im, more sifi than history. Solaris is possible, as is Endless Space 2. At present Im swaying to ES2. Advice/tips/suggestions ect in this category MORE than welcome.
5. Spacey thing - x4 Foundations? Combat wont be as good as Elite, but everything else looks better. Any crossover here with ES2/Solaris?
There isnt a RTS game on that list, and Im open to those (one thing for Total War 3 kingdoms/Warhammer 2 is it has the TRS - but the stratagy aspects arnt up to EU4/ES2 etc). Just not sure which way to turn there either. Also - Id look at Eve Online BUT Im not planning on getting into sub bases offerings. I still have work/wife/kids/hobbies (other than gaming) to take my time. Sub based will just take over my life......
So - Hit me, and many thanks in advance.
