I myself am a dedicated rpg-lover and I found grand strategies to be appealing because of their... Story and roleplaying element. Like I feel that Stellaris is not about managing an empire, it is more about roleplaying as an empire. And it feels to me that those management parts are more like skill trees, than complicated systems. The same goes for HOI or Crusader Kings. When I start a new game in CK it Is not about how to be the most efficient in those systems, it is about how I can write a story of some random nobleman.

The one thing I learned to avoid in the last 5 years is multiplayer games. My big problem with them is that you can play them literally for ever. I played dota since 2005 and around 2015 I realized it's just swallowing up all of my free time and making my life empty. But I really liked playing it and could not stop my self from just playing one more game. Nowadays I prefer single player games because they have a clearly defined ending point and don't try to keep you hooked for ever. Well at least most of them don't.

As a GM that struggled with both Pathfinder and Crusader Kings in the past, I really advise you to give CK a try. It’s more of an Roleplay game than management game, and honestly, it’s freaking amazing (you are taking control of medieval dynasty, not exactly control of country itself). It was really hard for me to start, so I understand your point, but it’s really worth it. My motivation to play came from really amazing mod to CK3 that recreates Roshar, world from amazing book series by Brandon Sanderson - Stormlight Archive. It was insanely cool to dive into rosharian politics, meet characters I love, change the history of the world while roleplaying a member of Kholin Dynasty. One of the best experiences in gaming I had for a long time, and it was really worth the rocky begging

As a person who's favorit genre's are both Grand Strategy and RPG:s(and I consider our tastes in game similar, hence being subscribed), I really think you should give CK3 a chance. CK3 is basically a RPG/sandbox simulator, and it's true that you can get used to the events and have them be less interesting after playing multiple games there are so many events that it's doesnt really matter. And as far as Grand Strategy goes CK3 is acually not that bad, and it's very hard to out right lose. You might lose a war and become someones subject but that doesnt mean the game is over(as long as you have an heir when your character dies and you have atleast one county you can always come back, Infact crawling back and taking revenge might acually be fun.). You just have to start playing the intrigue game and counquer their country from within. So if you see my comment and and decide to give it a try which I hope I recommend starting as a count/duke in tutorial island(Ireland), and just see wherre the game takes you(usually try and conquer Ireland). CK3 tutorial is pretty good and Ireland is pretty isolated and you can try to conquer it without to much interference from bigger powers. Edit: Unlike other Grand Strategy game the focus isn't a contry but the characters, so the game play really isn't just "I will blob up and become the biggest and strongest country in the world!"

I grew up predominately on Nintendo consoles and 90s / early-2000s PC games, so generally-speaking my childhood preferences were platformers and everything high fantasy. Toward more recent years, some genres that've now become big staples for me have been sandboxes, competitive multiplayer (though I no longer play them), roguelites, and most recently of all, strategy games. (And yes, I do also love RPGs as well. My favorite game of all time is RuneScape, which I've played since middle school.) As far as genres that I don't play, it's usually a case of not being interested in them rather than not liking them. Though I pointed to a few specific genres, as those are the ones I played primarily, I actually played a _wide_ variety of games in my childhood that I enjoyed. I played card games, sports games, racing games, adventure games, rhythm games - I found something fun in just about every genre, regardless of whether I like the genre itself or just those particular titles within that genre. So I don't really find many types of experiences that I do not like. If I don't play a genre, it's probably just that I played less of that genre compared to other when I was a kid. I fell off most of those ones I listed because I ended up wanting to play more games of other genres instead of them. One genre that I didn't experience back in the day was fighting games. In fact, with the exception of the Shovel Knight Showdown expansion, which came out back in 2020, I've never actually even played a legit fighting game once in my life. That is simply a genre that has always existed in this separate bubble that has never crossed my path, and that's the only reason for why I don't play them. Strategy games _used to be_ one that I actually wasn't a fan of. It was that aspect of them being so complicated and so hard to understand that I just didn't want to put the effort in. But I did play one strategy game as a kid, which was Heroes of Might & Magic 3, and when I came across Age of Wonders 3, back in 2019, on a free-to-keep weekend, I decided to give it a go as it reminded me quite heavily of HoMM (because they are quite similar games, in fact). And come to find out, when I was able to finally figure out how to play it, it ended up being one of the most fun games I have ever played in my life. I am now looking into playing a bunch of other 4X / grand strategy titles in the future. I think when it comes down to it, theme is a more prominent factor than genre, to me. I love feeling immersed into the experience and "being" in the world, so really it's about what the game's setting and premise are that largely determines my interest in it. The types of games I generally avoid are games that don't have a compelling theme, which for me is anything that's very heavily based in reality or something meant to represent the real world. Uncharted, Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed, Fallout, Red Dead Redemption, The Last of Us - that's the sort of stuff that doesn't interest me. I grew up playing games that were mostly based in fictitious settings, or at the very least threw a cartoon-y / fantasy spin on things, and that's the way I've always liked it.

You might still want to try CK2 or 3, the machanics are not that hard to get and the roleplay possibilities are huge. There is tons of events for you to play your character as you want, you can be a just and mighty ruler as you can play a sadiscic drunkar, or even a lunatic. It is to the point that if you want you can kind of let aside the gestion of your realm and just focus on you and you're family stories. Not speaking of all the mod there is, the witcher, game of throne, the elder scrolls, Vampire the mascarade, enven D&D have been implemented you have world map of those univers to play in.

CK is one of the few grand strategy games I don't like and wouldn't recommend. I find the mechanics and gameplay extremely obtuse, and the fact you have very very little control over a huge number of things compared to a game like Total War or Civilizations really hampers the enjoyment for me. Also considering your main character is changing pretty regularly I think it rather hurts any role play potential.

I'm a fan of 4X, grand strategy, and turn-based RPGs like DOS2. You can view it as a spectrum where on one end you are managing the equipment and attacks of 1-4 people in an RPG, and on the other end you are managing the economy and military of entire societies with grand strategy. There is potentially a middle ground managing large groups of dozens to hundreds of people in games like Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress, or Kenshi.

Grand Strategy is my second favorite genre after Action RPGs. I find them very similar in terms of what is the kick I get from it. Especially EU4, you basically have a country and have to figure out what "build" and style you need to work towards. Instead of Gear you acquire provinces and trade goods, instead of skills you have ideas etc. The gameplay is always secondary for me, seeing a character or a country/state build to come together. (which is why I always stop at around 1650 - the end game has its perks, but it's not what I love about the game)

Puzzle games, racing games, shooters and platformers aren’t fun because I suck at them so bad that I’m more frustrated than entertained! You get the picture!

I grew up on RPGs , immersive sims, or story focused games like fallout (new Vegas mainly) and Skyrim, even though Skyrim isn’t really the best RPG. I really wish that I could get myself into more CRPGs but something about top-down style games I don’t enjoy and I hate that because I want to want to play them. Maybe one day I’ll find a CRPG that really sucks me in. The closest one to pull me in so far has been Kenshi, if you can consider that a CRPG. Edit: I think the thing that takes me out of it the most is not feeling like I’m the actual character that is acting out my decisions. Immersive sims are probably my favorite genre, dishonored being one of my favorite games of all time. With CRPGs, I guess I’m not a fan of clicking a button that says attack or move, when I’d rather just do that myself. Something about clicking to watch my character do something instead of me being in their shoes and moving/attacking takes me out of it. I want to try and get over that though because I love hearing about super highly praised CRPGs and I always feel like I’m missing out.

I mostly agree with everything on your DNP list: despite the fact that I can appreciate - and, in some instances, try to force myself to play/understand - them, they all mostly fail to grab me and/or are beyond my brain to wholly grasp. That said! Two recommendations from one who, likewise, cannot get into the same games: - "Flatout: Ultimate Carnage": for those who don't care for/can't get into racing games - it's a fucking TREAT, and a game that is in my stable of "Staple Games" that can almost always find itself on my rig. It's a racing game barely and is mostly focused on enjoying the scenery and causing as much mayhem as possible along the way...but it's unlike any other game that could be described as such ("Crazy Taxi" and "Burnout Paradise" are always recommended to me, but they ain't got what "Flatout''s got). Note: I recommend "Flatout: Ultimate Carnage", rather than "Flatout" (1) or "Flatout 2", as it's the ultimate form (no pun intended) of the formula. - "Return of the Obra Dinn" for those of us who don't get along with puzzle games. Once you get the hang of the single mechanic, you can knock the entire game out in an afternoon or two, but...what a REWARDING experience. Honorable Mention: any/all of the "Life Is Strange" series, as sort of "Story/Puzzle-Adjacent", but wonderful, wonderful slices of life.

This list is pretty much my list too. I'm so bad at rhythm games that I suspect it's a disorder of some kind. Racing and fighting games bore me. 4X games just leave me feeling confused and anxious. The only thing on the list I'd change is swapping puzzle games for spectacle fighters. I like a relaxing puzzle game, but spectacle fighters' obsession with grading your performance leaves me feeling like I'm just taking an endless exam... and usually failing.

I can understand your point about 4x games... I love them to death but they are NOT for everyone. I hate to sound elitist but I am glad they are like this, not to gate keep to exclude people but I feel if they were overly accessible they might lose some of the complexity that everyone who plays them loves. I always think Genre's should cater to the people who like those genres but too often they try to broaden then audience or even genre flip to go for the mainstream, ruining the games for the core audience in the process.

I play pretty much anything; some things a lot more than others, but every once in a while all I care about is getting something "different" and then it almost doesn't matter what it is. What frustrates me are genres that I do like ... in theory, but where in practice the games that are being released are just so far from what I like that I end up not playing a lot in that. Open world would be an example; I quite like the idea, but it most of the time ends up with brain-dead MMO-style collectables and that sorta thing, which I hate, over a genuine sense of freedom of exploration. jRPGs recently is another; I've played a ton of them, I do like a lot about them (pick 5 in the PS2 era and you get 5 different gameplay systems ... ) but, again, it feels nowadays it's almost always focused on some aspect that really does not speak to me at all.

For me I don’t like any game where it feels I have to spend dozens of hours just to grasp the basics. Games that bombard you with information that is critical to enjoying the game without having an adequate in game tutorial to give you a fun way of slowly learning the game. Examples would include mobas and Real Time Strategy Games. They are games that I feel I should like since I enjoy watching KZitem videos of them and I can appreciate them for how much depth they have but actually playing them myself I feel it would take too much of my time to learn them and I have so many games that I don’t want to spend all of my time on a game and feel like I am not getting any better at them.

I concur with your perspective across the board, with the exception of 4X strategy games. However, some of those titles such as Crusader Kings III or Old World, are incorporating RPG-lite elements, lending to a more compelling and rich gameplay experience. I agree that games must possess a substantive narrative or emotional appeal in order to foster a deeper connection and willingness to gain mastery of the mechanics. One game that is a blend of many such genres is Rimworld, which I often describe to my friends as "The Sims with war crimes." Funny how pixels on a screen can make us feel such a range of emotions. Personally, I prefer single-player gaming experiences, as I relish the opportunity to explore all available options without the need for a highly indulgent (and patient) gaming partner.

I will always remember how me and a friend of mine played as two orc lords in Mordor and we managed to kidnap Aragorn with multiple level plots. Then my friend ate Aragorn which was the pinnacle of our playthrough. Let's say that he became very popular in Middle-Earth!

4X games are the bomb. You need a guide to give you a tour through all the menu's, but once you're there they are truly some of the best out there. Games like Crusader Kings 2 genuinely have great emergent gameplay, and they are surprisingly some of the best social experiences I have had in multiplayer. Whereas in Dark Souls or Wasteland you focus fully on the game, in 4X games you can talk casually and have deep conversations and from time to time go bananas because something crazy happened. Come to think of it they are a lot like fishing in that sense. I recognize they are not for everyone but they are a lot more casual than most people think.

Just hover over any UI element and it will simply explain it for you. At first, I was scared of grand strategies as well, but it did not appear to be so difficult. Then, because I figured out it was unnecessary to be scared away from a game, I took my chances on any hardcore RPGs out there, and learned that it is not that they are very complex, but they are just bad at conveying the system of the game (or assume that you have information about the system through DnD and any similar systems).

The one exception I managed to get into is Crusader Kings, which I like to think of as the Persona to Paradox's Shin Megami Tensei. There's still tremendous depth to the simulation, but much of what's being simulated is human character and interpersonal relationships, which makes it much more intuitive than an equally deep simulation of economics or warfare. Strategy games typically feel to me like outlandishly complex board games without the joy of playing with friends.
