So, I've spent over 2 hours on Steam searching for a nice game to play. But it's all junk, as far as I'm fed with Steam recommendations. I liked ksp~~2~~ 1, cities skylines 1, age of empires 2, baldurs gate 3 a lot, I just finished Divinity original sin 2. I like rpgs and management / factory games like workers and resources, satisfactory etc. I'm having a lot of fun with split fiction when I play with a friend, but I need a proper singplayer game. Anything I could get which isn't a total ripoff due to lack of gameplay or it being a bug simulator or dlc purchase mania?

In 2024 almost 19.000 games were released on Steam. I have yet to find a single title from 2024 worth playing.

Oh man, there's so much. My top 10 from last year would be:

The Rise of the Golden Idol - puzzle/deduction game, sequel to The Case of the Golden Idol
Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age - fighting game that gracefully handles 4 players at once and has all the good feels of the Xbox Live Arcade era
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle - lite immersive sim and action game that captures the spirit of the best parts of those movies
Metaphor: ReFantazio - a political metaphor in JRPG form
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree - a beefy expansion pack to one of the best games ever made
Dread Delusion - a lite RPG with fantastic exploration
Indika - a very interesting cinematic story game with some puzzles
UFO 50 - 50 unique games designed to replicate the 80s
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes - a giant escape room, and the puzzles are HARD
The Thaumaturge - an RPG inspired mostly by Persona and The Witcher, but you almost certainly haven't seen a setting like this in a game before
