Just got Factorio and played first 2 tutorials. Minecraft/FortressCraft from isometric perspective, where player character crash land on alien world, builds an industry from raw materials, walls and weapon platforms to defend against local wild life.
Game is already nearly a year old. It got renewed attention when developer was subjected to some political nonsense, to which he delivered an epic response:
You can take that ************** mentality and shove it up your ***.
Censored for this forum. # of positive Steam reviews spiked over 10 fold, and a number of YouTubers say they buy the game. As did I. Decisive victory for developer.
Slitherine & Matrix wargames have plenty of material for political nonsense: glorification of war, its participants, their politics, their flags (remember Confederation battle flag debacle few years ago?)... With this in mind, I urge Slitherine & Matrix personnel to take a close look at the political nonsense Factorio developer got dragged into, and take notes so you can come up with appropriate measures should you ever become a target of such nonsense. So far it looks like Factorio dev gained decisive victory where many others have suffered heavy losses and even decisive defeats.
I like that response even though it is censored. Maybe I should take a look at that game.

I've purchased Factorio 6 months or so ago. It is definetely good game, but needs some dedication and engineering interest.
Previous trailers of the game as years passes :

Someone on Youtube wrote 'they managed to remaster a remastered early access trailer.' [:D]

Matrix and Slitherine forum pretty much pro US, UK and the Commonwealth player based forum more narrow about nationality than in maybe Steam games audiance .So the topics mostly about 1 voice and side. But still liberal in some sense for non English speakers. What do you mean by politics? Cheers.

Not true. There are many divergent viewpoints which is how some threads get locked.
Not to mention that the English and the Commonwealth people will spell some words incorrectly . . . [;)]

Train Station 2
It's an Android/IOS game, but with Bluestacks you can play on the computer.
Oh, and getting my head handed to me in WiTE2.

I'm a train geek, and this one looks like a fun, relaxing game to play. Thanks for the tip!

Aurelian, I have to thank and blame you for your recommendation of Train Station 2. I've been playing it constantly since your post and loving it. Relatively light weight, but engaging and fun games like this are a great compliment to WitP AE or in your case, WitE 2.

I'm also starting a new PBEM game of WitP AE with an old friend, so I won't have to look for something to play for the next 10 years or so. [:D] We play fairly slowly, so 3-4 turns/week will provide us with many years of fun and excitement.

I've been inactive playing but sure have bought a lot of PC wargames in recent months.
Ideally, I'd like to be playing mainly squad up to platoon level tactical.
I'd like to be playing some old-school Squad Leader.
But all I've been accomplishing is the building of a lot of 72nd scale models.
And I'm suppoooosed to be making a train layout and getting some landscapes painted.
It seems all I do most days in watch too much YouTube

I play it constantly. Like you say, light weight, fun and engaging. There's another one called Seaport by the same company.

Recently I've been playing Assassin's Creed Origins and Odyssey. While Odyssey have much better RPG equipment elements&fighting system and the eastern mediterrian islands -I'm very familiar with- I like Origins better. Much better character story. Egypt as it is while I stay there 20 years ago.. I congrulate Ubisoft while not perfect in gameplay but historical research is at the top.

After a hiatus of a year and a half I am once again playing
World of Tanks. I like it even less now than I did 1.5 years ago due to a recent patch, but it still has its good points (it is Free-to-Play, for one thing) and helps pass the time.
