Interesting Games You May Not Have Tried

FACTORIO

Factorio is a game about automation and survival. You start as a simple engineer that crash landed on a foreign planet with nothing more than some iron and a couple pieces of equipment. Your objective is to survive, harvest resources, and eventually get off the planet!
The game can be very zen and has a peaceful mode for those that don't wish to be bothered by the local monsters. I highly recommend if you enjoy micromanagement or base building.

RimWorld

RimWorld is, you guessed it, about building a base and getting off the planet. The key differences between RimWorld and Factorio though is in RimWorld you are given a handful of colonists to manage and direct rather than having direct control over just one character. It is an incredibly complex game where NPCs can have addictions, hopes, dreams, quirks, missing limbs, etc! Both games do involve building a base but RimWorld plays more like The Sims, but with guns, violence, and diseases!

Axiom Verge

Axiom Verge takes inspiration from Half-Life in that you are a scientist that finds themselves dealing with an alien threat. After an experiment gone wrong the main character finds themselves in what appears to be another dimension and must find out just what is going on and how to get back home. (I'm sensing a theme here...) Axiom Verge is a metroid-vania style game that quickly pulls the player in with its story telling in an effort to find out just what the hell is going on. It includes many weapons, upgrades, and plenty of interesting large boss fights. If you enjoyed classics such as Super Metroid and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night then you will greatly enjoy Axiom Verge.
