Dishonoured, XCom Enemy Within, SOMA, Satellite Reign, Styx, Vermintide, plus Fallout4, Witcher3, Alien Isolation, Metro2033/LL Redux to name a few.
I've already played some of those. Not Fallout4 and Witcher3 though, but they are too much for my computer and still too expensive.
I didn't like Alien Isolation at all, I gave up after about 3 hrs and just watched somebody's play through on YouTube to see what I missed. Nothing much apparently.
I just replayed XCom, maybe the The Metro games would be worth another play.
SOMA, Satellite Reign, Styx, and Vermintide don't really seem like my kind of games, but I'll look again.
Apparently I just don't like horror themed or 3rd person games in general.

I honestly couldn't get into it either. There's only so much standing in a locker a man can take.

SOMA is definitely worth it IMO. It's an interactive movie with mostly only token gameplay BUT the atmosphere and style are great, it's genuinely intriguing, has a good story (apart from a botched pre-ending) and elicites a surprisingly array of emotions.
Satellite Reign is a bit shallow and repetitive but has a strong style, slick GFX, and good ambient music, if you're in a cyberpunk mood it's worth it.
Styx is proper stealth style if you like that sort of thing.
Vermintide you really need the right people online with you, but negke is always keen for folks to join in and I'd do a bit more too. It's hard but has a strong character to it.

Plenty of gameplay snippets in those videos. Vehicular desert themed RTS prequel to Homeworld. Friction is hyped for it, I am curious but more reserved:
<Shambler> the gfx and attention to detail look good, but it suffers from the same "can't appreciate any of that zoomed out and in the intensity of rts combat" that almost all rtses suffer from
<Shambler> also maybe a bit desert heavy....
What do people think??
Meh

vehicle designs are fucking ace, but the actual game looks pretty meh.
I was much more interested when this was called "Shipbreakers" and wasn't an official Homeworld licensed game. You would go out into the desert and salvage huge wreckage of space ships while fighting other ai / players doing the same thing. No idea how much of those ideas survived the transfer to Homeworld.

This is what Shipbreakers became? Was pretty excited about that, but this doesn't really look like what I was hoping for at all.

I'm curious about what you guys are seeing now that looks any different from the Shipbreakers teasers.
Well

I remember seeing trailers where it wasn't even really an RTS. Here it just looks like any other RTS really, which maybe is fine.
To be honest I didn't know what I was hoping for, but the atmosphere of the original art and such seems kind of missing here.

I've never once seen a game that retained the oomph of the original art.
Moar.

Didn't watch with sound.
1:50 - 2:05 looks great for an RTS. Also in any experience of RTS I've had, if you spent 15 seconds zoomed in like that instead of doing recceing map checking unit building army management etc etc, you'd automatically lose.
Yeah I Googled And It Said The Same Thing.
