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?

EDIT: I'm a bit overwhelmed by all reactions. Thank you all so much! I have a lot of amazing recommendations to check out!

Expedition 33 is a turn based rpg with some slight action elements. Just came out to glowing reviews and might be worth checking out.

Story might not be to your liking though.

If you're up for ARPGs, simething like Titan Quest or Grim Dawn have many hours worth of gameplay.

Worth looking at as well is anything in the Monster Hunter series. World and Rise are both amazing along with their expansions and Wilds just recently released.

All of my recommendations are long-term games with many hours worth of playtime.

As far as management goes x4 foundations is an awesome space game! I have hundreds of hours in that game spent just messing around with an industrial empire, buying mining ships, setting trade routes, all that fun stuff. You don't even have to fight anything if you don't want to.

The first Witcher game is quite old but you could like the gameplay (it's not action oriented, unlike the 2 following Witcher games)

It's honestly not great looking but the story is great, and who knows, you might fall in love with a great franchise :)

I played all with er games but never finished any of them as it's just not for me weirdly. I played elder scrolls games which were nice but the Witcher just doesn't catches my attention.
