I warmed to it early on, really liked the drone stuff and the military action, helicopter flying initially was a skill you just had to adapt to, although I think later on they made them easier to fly. I started to go off the boil with it, when they brought in the monster trucks stuff. Rather than refining and making more convincing content for the game, they seemed to want to turn it into a bit of a "wacky content" circus. Which would be more suited to the likes of Watchdogs 2. Although I had quite a bit of fun with that, and it uses similiar drone/recon mechanics. However, much prefer the more military setting and action.
Car Mechanic Simulator 2015. I've played it a lot - very relaxing even though I know shite about car repair.
American (or European) Truck Simulator. I have the American version. Same as above, surprisingly addictive.
Viscera Cleanup Detail. Strangely addictive and definitely for the completionist in you.
South Park: The Stick of Truth. Potty humor, sure; if you like South Park, the game is actually quite satisfying as an RPG.
Those are the ones that have gotten my attention in the last few months. I just started Company of Heroes 2, but haven't played more than a few minutes of it thus far, but that one looks good too.
For me, Syrian Warfare was the biggest surprise of recent releases. On paper, it looks like it should suck...indie Russian developer, blatantly political in nature, RTS, etc. However, the physics system, combat mechanics, destructible environment and terrain, interesting OOBs and Russian block equipment make this one that is definitely worth a close look. If it had a configurable skirmish mode, it would unquestionably be a "must have" title. However, having just a campaign with, at times, unforgiving difficulty, limits its replayability and longevity.

I originally thought the same that it was going to be the same thing over and over....and in a lot of ways it is, but for some reason I enjoy it enough where it keeps drawing me back. Its one of the first games where I don't have issues with vehicles and helicopters....easy for someone with little skill like myself.....and the synch shots, just never seem to get old:)

Agreed. Samey - but weirdly not boringly so.
I think it's partly because it's so easy to pick up and get back into.
And I meant to say 561 hours!! :o :o
Considering that i pretty much only played Path of Exiles and TW warhammer 1 and 2 this year i guess they got my recommend.

I guess I'll recommend a few I've played over the past year:
Invisible
ARMA III
World of Warships
Rome II
Must haves?
Civilization IV:Beyond the Sword
Medieval 2:Total War
Warlock 1 or 2
Crusader Kings 2
I'll second undercovergeek's recommendations of Stellaris and Warhammer: Total War.
Any game?
Ok.
Rinse and Repeat.

Wow. Someone actually sat down and programmed this game. Genius. Now I don't have to go into the jail shower to do this anymore!

Treated myself to Stellaris all DLC !
Pretty good choice there, you can get 100's of hours of gameplay out of it
I've got to say, with the exception of solops, you guys all really struggle with reading comprehension of the phrase "a game"!
I'll go with a little-heard one, but a fun one nevertheless: Thea: The Awakening.

Very good game. At the risk of a spoiler, my favorite moment comes when a lonely dwarf is trying to convince your party to broker a date with a Rusalka, and he tells you to take a good look at her before deciding that demons aren't on the menu.
I really enjoyed
Darkest Dungeon, but the big surprise was that I a got a kick out of playing
This is the Police , probaby because my girlfriend likes to watch
Bluebloods. The introduction alone is worth the price of admission, especially if you used to be married to a South Philly Italian.

Not sure what is more horrifying...that their is a game called "Shower With Your Dad" simulator...the fact that they have a year on which means there are plans to make it a franchise...or the fact that you suggested said game.
I'm just being a smartass. I do not nor would I ever own said game. It's odd that it even exists and has such a high rating on Steam. Buncha pervs there it seems.

Have you seen all the Japanese fan service games on there now???
Obviously steam has decided to cater to the kink
There's a ton of JRPGs on Steam, yeah. I tend to ignore them because they all look the same to me. I don't generally like the anime look of their characters...I think it's creepy. There's a couple of anime series/movies I enjoy, but I'm not otherwise into it at all.
I think they're creepy too. Like people who put ties on their cats. :idiot2:

Or Santa suits on their Pugs :P
Or gimp suits on their goat....... nope, wait
THAT was her idea, not mine. I preferred Frosty the Snowman suit.
ARMA 3. I've played just over 2688 hours on that.
Kerbal Space Program.
