Bill H.If that's not your thing, Cities Skylines 1 is an incredible SimCity-style simulation game, well worth the $3. You don't need all the thousand DLC packs for this either (but the mass transit and industries ones are good, imho).<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/255710/Cities_Skylines/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://store.steampowered.com/app/255710/Cities_Skylines/</a><a href="https://mastodon.publicinterest.town/tags/videogames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#videogames</a>

Bill H.If boomer-shooters are your thing, or you're just looking to turn your brain off for a few hours, Doom 2016 is on sale for $2 right now. I'm not big into first person shooters, but it's the best Doom game of the series in my opinion. I actually thoroughly enjoyed it.<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/379720/DOOM/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://store.steampowered.com/app/379720/DOOM/</a><a href="https://mastodon.publicinterest.town/tags/videogames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#videogames</a>
