Really late response, but YES. The ideologies especially are amazing, I've been working on cultural victories recently and it's so fun to tweak strategies depending on ideologies. Definitely a game that I could play for days on end.

You read my mind, I was definitely about to say Black Ops would be at the top of my list. I'd never tried any other Call of Duty games, but when I tried Black Ops I found it extremely boring and almost laughably easy. Granted I only played the first few story mode missions and don't generally...

I think it's realistic to need a break from anything, even if you really love doing it. Taking some time to explore other hobbies can be helpful, in addition to just spending some time by yourself / with other people, whichever you generally don't do as much. If you are truly just looking for...

So many games take critical thinking, it's not too hard to find them. The Professor Layton series comes to mind, it's literally just brainteaser after brainteaser.

I just got married yesterday actually! I went with Elliott in the end, I like his room expansion a lot, it makes everything look very homey and nice.

Funny that you guys mention these, because my last favorite console ever is easily the PSP. There was just nothing of lasting fun/worth to play on it except for Final Fantasy Tactics...and that's just because I'm an SRPG nerd. I definitely have heard that there are way more PSP/PS Vita games in...

I've been playing nonstop the past few days, I've mostly been concerned first with reaching the last level of the mines and then of finishing the community center bundles! Now I think I'm gonna start focusing on getting married...I'm usually pretty worried about running out of things to do in...

I feel like changing the gameplay of the main Pokemon games may be out of the question now--it's too much of a legend. The spinoffs like Mystery Dungeon and Pokemon Conquest and Pokken are fun in themselves, and I feel like those may continue to be produced with minimal repercussions (i.e...

I'll admit the reason why my answer may be more strange is because I haven't played some of the most famous Zelda games, so my judgement might be a bit off, but like really loved Minish Cap when I was little. I remember playing it on repeat. Of course Breath of the Wild is still amazing, but I...

My wishlist right now includes Firewatch, Slime Rancher, and Overcooked...these games all seem AMAZING / have had rave reviews but aren't genres that I usually play, so I'm really hoping to grab them when they're on sale someday. I'm way too cheap to pay full price on a game that I'm not sure...

Competitive online gaming? Not as much, because I know everyone's there for competition and for fun. But I've definitely felt guilty just disappointing a character in a story-based game before. I can't stand watching them being upset...which is probably a testament to how well-written the...

I grew up on Civ 3, so I've loved playing Civ 5. I met quite a few friends in college playing Civ, actually! I find it so fun just because of the different leader bonuses, the crazy difficulty range, and the flexibility depending on what victory you go for...if you're buying it now I definitely...

I got so excited when I saw this forum topic. I LOVE the Lisa series, and I definitely think every gamer that's a fan of rpgmaker-style games need to give it a shot. It's way way way way WAY darker than Undertale though, I will have to warn beforehand. It's best to know just how dark it is when...

I've been playing a lot of casual games recently, so a lot of Sunless Sea and some Civ 5 with friends when they're online. I have yet to finish the new Fire Emblem game too...there's always too many on the list to finish.

I feel like it's a really bad idea to buy a game without playing a demo or watching gameplay of some sort. I feel like most of the games I've bought I've heard from circles of games that I already play currently, so I know that it's in a similar genre. I feel like branching out from your usual...
