On Steam I have 5k hours in Civ V and Civ VI, 1K in Borderlands 2 and presequel, and about 800 in all the Half Life games. Drops off pretty rapidly from there, down to a bunch of games I haven't even opened.

Started playing Minecraft a few weeks after Notch started dev in 2009, and probably have more than a year in game.

Out of all the games on the PS4, GTA V is way ahead, with RDR2 and DayZ as 2 and 3. Mainly play GTA online, but in a single player session via the lowered MTU. Am only a 199 at 50 days, as I didn't transfer my PS3 character over.

Twisted Insurrection is a critically acclaimed, standalone modification based on the Command & Conquer™ Tiberian Sun™ engine.

Shattered Paradise is an expansion for Tiberian Sun on OpenRA - https://www.moddb.com/mods/shattered-paradise

If you like the old Command and Conquer games, these are pretty easy to install, with single player and multi online. Quite a few other games too.

Strategy-wise, I thoroughly enjoy Endless Legends and the Crusader Kings series. I tried many times getting into Civ but I just can't. I think it's because it uses nations that HAVE existed, but puts them completely out of context. I've been replaying XCOM a lot, and the Mount & Blade games are simply ENDLESS fun to me, although that's got a lot of action in it.

I've played a lot of Galactic Civilizations III but it quickly turns into a completely unnecessary clickfest, which they have never fixed, so I gave up on that even though I wasn't done with the game. Maybe GC IV, which is Early Access on Epic, will be better.

I used to be a big counter-strike players (from 1999 to 2017 or so) but I'm done with that. I have enjoyed such highly stressful games in the past, including Playerunknown's Battleground and dying light, but I can't stomach them anymore. I'm worried about a heart attack.

But I can do DayZ. That and Hunt: Showdown are pretty much my maximum stress level. That latter title is one of my favorite games at the moment but I hardly ever play because my usual partner isn't available to play anymore for whatever reason.
