Welcome back. This part of the series will be primarily focusing on genres. So far I have [Turn based RPG, Action RPG, Board Game, tabletop rpg, Arcade Game, third person shooter, MMO, Action, 4X (Civilization-like), 3D Platformer, Dungeon Crawler, Card Game, Point and click, Indie, Text dungeon, Souls-like, Stealth, Rhythm, Horror, Metroidvania, Survival, Sandbox, shoot/beat 'em up, City Builder, Adventure, Simulation, Puzzle, Fighting, MOBA, Real Time Tactics, Grand Strategy, Racing, Walking simulator, Tower Defense, Sports, Idle, Trivia, miscellaneous, and Casual] as available genres. Let me know if I missed something, and I will try to get it added.

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 don’t really play Roguelikes, but I did like Slay the Spire quite a bit.

I wish LCS had a real modding scene like Dwarf Fortress. The underlying game is great, you’re The Weather Underground fighting right-wing death squads, but too limited in content.

props to them for putting the whole soundtrack in the game as unencrypted oggs, it make it easy to listen to or even replace it with your own music.

Spelunky is not just the best roguelike, it is the game with the best difficulty design. In a game where there are almost no meaningful unlocks, where the progress you make is all in your head, it makes the process very rewarding in a way no other game does. It very seamlessly sets up goals that range from relatively simple (seeing a new biome) to ludicrously hard (eggplant stuff). When you achieve one goal the next hardest one, that previously seemed impossible, always feels almost within reach.

Also, the wet fur level soundtrack bangs.

(Please do not fight me over whether it is a roguelike, a roguelike-like, or a roguelite.)

I can’t tell if you’re messing with me, or if those are real genres.

They are all names for a flavor of procedural death labyrinth, but only huge nerds care about the differences.
